Georgia Men Ask To be Saved from Mur"
deresses in q Resolution.
MACON, Ga, Aug. 8.-The people of
Twiggs county, in a largely attended
mass meeting, have passed resol utions
calling upon the governor to interfere
with the hanging of Mrs. Debbie Mobiles,
the old woman who has been convicted
of the murder of her husband. The ag-
itation over this question promises to
become of national Importance.
1t seems that several weeks ago when
sentence was pronounced the New
Woman" fad had reached the larger
cities of the state. The women con-
cerned took the idea that Mrs. Mobiles
had been driven to the crime by the ex-
actions of her husband, and they started
petitions to the governor to commute
her sentence. They wrote to sister soci-
cites in other states, and already letters
are coming in from many places pro-
| testing against the death sentence for a
woman.
So strong has the movement become
that the male citizens of the county in
which the offense was committed have
held a mass meeting to call for the pro-
lection of men by the execution of fe-
male murdsrers: The resolution adopt
ed at this mass meeting of Twiggs county
residents reads:
eve earnestly protest against the ex-
tension in any form of executive elem
ency to this murderess, polluted
with the life blood of her hus-
band and do hereby declare
/ our perfect confidence in our chief mag
istrate and our belief that he will not be
swerved from the performance of his

GIVES HIMSELF UP TO THE POLICE.

Dramatic scene When He Sees HIS
Dead Brothers BOdy-Went to Kan
sas City and Returned.
There is an interesting sequel to the
death of the man supposed to be Cor
nelius La Blanche, the desperate who
was ground under the wheels of Rock
Island freight train in North Topeka
yesterday.
The brother who was with the dead
man when they attempted to board the
train when escaping from the officers,
returned to Topeka this morning and
gave himself up to the police
Officers McElrov and Jailer Hopkins
took him in charge.
"What kind of a looking man was that
man who got run over yesterday" he
asked.
'Why, do you know him?'
Yes
Are you his brother?" asked the off,
Ger, detecting the resemb lance.
Yes" he replied after q moments
hesitation.
The officers were thunderstruck.
"What did you try to escape for ?" he
was asked.
because we didn't want to be taken, y
was the reply.
Further than this LaBlanche refused
TO tell anything.
"YOur brother died game" said an off,
Ger by way of drawing him out.
"Yes-you know he had nerve-Iots oil
it"
During the forenoon LaBlanche was
taken to Stoker's morgue to view his
brothers body.
When he entered the room he threw
up his hands dramatically and exclaim-
ed, ''Great God! l wonder if he's in
hsll?'
Then he sat down on the side of the
marble slab that held the body, and
cried until the officers led him away.
When he was searched by the jailer and
also when he was examined by Chief
Wilkerson, LaBlanche cried His grief
seems to be deep and overpowering
The man admits that he had revolver
yesterday morning, and fred at the
police. He went on the freight train to
Kansas City and read in an evening

dead. He then took the first train back
