ToGay his lawyers are exubcrant as they stand in tho prison office, and his wife is tcarfully joyful Buchan, an himself, who all day Tuesday. as each hour flew, had shown by his manner that he was giving up hOpo and preparing to meet his fate is surprised into silence al. most, and his wife did the greater part of the talking as sho sat at the wiro screen
 When the telephone in the warden E ofiice rang. and StenogrRphCr Yorke who was at the other end in the attorney gen erals office at Albany. told Warden Sage tho opinion of the attorney general that the execution had better be delayed, there was picturesque group about the tclc phone. Reporters. officials of tho p~ ,n and the lawyers of the convicted - m were there, and leaning in the doorway between the office and rarlor was Mra Buchanan, her blond hair somewhat dis ordered and her eyes rod with weeping
 Lawyer Gibbons and his eonfcrccs rush cd over and shook hands with Mrs Bu chanan while the tears streamed down her cheeks. and Mrs. Coleman. her com panion, hugged her raPturously Warden Sage went Immediately to the deathhouse and had hardly halted before tho door of the condemned mans coll whom Buohan- an said, Any news Mr Sage" and then covered back in the further corner of the cell ns if he wore fearful of the answer
 have news, said tho warden. and you will not be executed tomorrow " The condemned man sprnng to his feet. came to the front of tho cell and said, Is that true Mir. Warden?" "Nes, and I will send your wiio 10 you"
 In few minutes Mrs Buchanan ap- peared at tho door, aud q strange scene oc- cured ns she pressed her face to the wiro screen and repeated to her husband the news tho warden had brought.
 It seemed difficult for Buchanan to be- lieVe tho story of his good luck. for he had told his guards that he had made up his mind to die. For thr,r, hours tho wife staid talking tu her husband, and when she left him she hnd him buoycd up with the hope that he would finally escape.
