Mckinley had wisely concluded not to
accompany the party in the procession
and great was the disappointment eX-
pressed at her non-eXperience. When
she did come it gave rise to one OF
the most delightful incidents Of the
trip. Governor Bushnell was in the
midst of his speech, when a cheer,
swelling from the back of the auditor
ium and thence communicating to the
main floor and the galleries, showed
that some event of extraordinary inter-
est was transpiring. A moment later
Mrs. Mckinley appeared in the central
aisle. leaning on the arm of Mr. James
r. Dunn. and accompanied by her
aunt. Mrs. Saxton, and Mrs. John HUI
Eakin. the latter Of Nashville. Gov
ernor Bushnell gracefully yielded the
floor and the immense audience was on
IFS feet in a moment cheering most lus-
tilv. A huge bunch of roses was hand
ed Mrs. Mckinley from the auditorium
floor and as she bowed and smiled her
thanks. the crowd again broke into
cheers.
Incidental to the speaking which fol-
lowed was the applause which greeted
anv reference to Tennesse's loyalty to
the Union.
When President Mckinley declared
Tennessee's sons were now loyal to the
core and that this Union a third of a
century ago. so nearly disrupted, was
now hound TO stand for all time, the
boom of applause and the roar of enthu-
siasm was something long to be remem-
bered and gratifying to every North
erner present.
After the conclusion Of the ceremo-
nies in the auditorium the President
and some Of the party visited the Par
tbenon. Later in the afternoon MIS-.
Mckinley and the President gave re-
ception to women only in the Woman
Building.

MURDERER HANGED
James NJ. GOrdy Paid the Extreme
Penalty of His Crime.

Georgetown, Del, June Thames
II COrdy was hanged at 1895 o'clock
his morning for the murder of his
wife. He protested his innocence to the
last.
The Lc6y of Mrs. Estella NJ. Gordy
vas fouad in the Broad1,'l creek, near
Milton. Del. March II. by two fisher
men. Until March 10 the woman had
lived at 2613 Eighth avenue. New York
city. and was known there until few
DAYS before as Mrs. Estella NJ. Lewis,
widow Of Major Roger Nj. Lewis, a
former prominent ink manufacturer.
Two days previous to the woman's dis
appearance from New York city she
told some Of her friends that she had
married James NJ. Gordy. a planter ana
horse-breeder. living in Delaware.
The woman disposed of the business
which had been left her By her former
husband. and. accompanied by Gordy,
left New York city for Delaware. That
was the last seen of her alive by her
New York friends.
Her body was found in tae Broadkill
creek by two fishermen. There were
three wounds on the head, any one of
which would have caused death.
Suspicion was directed toward GCrdy,
because Of his having been seen by sev-
eraI persons with a woman answering
the description Of the body found in tho
creek. Working upon this clue officers
went to the home of Harvey T. Mes
sick. one of Gordy's tenants, with whom
he lived. but Gordy had fed. He was
finally located at his mothers home, in
Sussex county, about 16 miles from
Georgetown. and taken to Georgetown
Jail.
Gordy was placed on trial April IS,
convicted of murder and sentenced to
be hanged
After Gordy's arrest for murder nu-
merous stories were put in circulation
regarding his past career. 1t was re-
called by his neighbors that his first
wife. who died suddenly, had been heav-
lily insured in favor of her infant child.
The child also died suddenly soon after
its mothers death, in convulsions, and
Gordy collected the insurance. A
barn belonging to Gordy upon which
there was a heavy insurance was set
on fire and burned. This insurance was
also collected by Gordy. Shortly after
his wife's death Gordy eloped with l5-
vear-old girl. and after living with her
a short while abandoned her. 1t also
developed that Gordy during one OF
his escapades swindled a Washington
woman out of several hundred dollars
through a photographic scheme, and
4 Baltimore woman came forward with
a statement that Gordy and she were
married but a short time after his first
wife's death.
