New YoRK, November 22.-Stephen l..
Pestus, Secretary and Treasurer of the
Brooklyn Union Elevated railroad, and
member of the firm of Pollard, Pettus &
Co., "a Broad street, this city, was shot
dead here this morning in Fulton street
bv Mrs. Hannah Southwo'th who re-
fused to give her address to the police
when arrested.
Just before 10 O'Clock, while Fulton
street was crowded with people who had
just landed from the ferry, a young wo-
man wearing seslskin sacque trimmed
with long black fur was seen hurrying
along behind well-dressed man. When
in front of No. 10 Fulton street she
pulled revolver from beneath her dress
and fred five shots in quick succession at
the man in front of her, although he fell
at the first shot. AS the victim writhed
and tossed in agony on the sidewalk the
woman looked calm and self-possessed,
and actually smiled in apparent satisfac-
ton. In short time great crowd had
gathered, attracted to the spot by the re-
peated pistol firing.
WHY SHE KILLED HIM.
AS the officers arrested her, raising
herself to her full height and assuming
dramatic position, she Kissed between
her teeth, pointing to the lifeless body on
the sidewalk: "That man betrayed me
and have shot him He ruined me and
my family" The woman was taken to
tine Police Station and locked up. She
remained calm and dignitied and gave
the name of Hannah Southworth, but
refused to give her residence. All five
balls took effect in the body of the VIC
tim. The same woman attacked Pettus
in public year ago.
THE PRIsoNER's HISTORY.
A dispatch from Louisville, KY, says
Mrs. Southworth is the daughter Of the
late E. J. Mortin, well-known coffee
broker. She is about 30 years of age
and has pesn widow for ten years.
She charged Pettus, who was originally
from Olarkville, Tenn, with having com.
mitted an outrage on her person four
years ago, for which suit for $25, 900
was brought against him several months
ago. Several of her brothers are promi-
nent business men in New York, San
Francisco and Brooklyn. For some time
che has made her home with one in the
latter city.

Sprenger computes that during the
Christian era no fewer than nine million
witches were inundated. In England,
the last execution for witchcraft took
place in 1915, but In Illinois as late as
1850 to 1900, several uufortunates were
put to death. This Is terrible reflection
on the boasted enlightment of the age;
but we must not be over censorlous,
while we daily see friends going down to
death, ignorance or prejudice preventing
the use OF remedies which might save
them. Many cold runs into consump-
tion, while Indigestion and impure blood
debilitate the system, inviting fatal at.
tacks. when the use Of DIR. Pierces Col
