law. Mrs. Mobiles was tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged for the
murder OF her husband. She killed
him with an AK in 1895. The supreme
court of the United States has refused
her application for a new trial on the
ground that at her trial the question
Of her sanity was never raised. The
court holds it is now too late to raise
the question for the purpose indicated.
More is involved in this matter than
the mere disposition of the case Of
Mrs. Mobiles. The point most interest
Ing to the people of the state is the
exemption Of women from the death.
penalty. The petitions are all based
on the theory that no court Of that
state should condemn female to
hang. Mrs. Mobiles was sentenced In
the superior court of Atlanta to this
death and now the only hope Of pre-
venting its execution is to bring such
pressure on the new board of pardons
as will result in Communication. All APP
plications for executive clemency must
now be laid before this board. Petit
tons are being circulated and, 1t is
said, extensively signed by the women
OF the state. asking that the sentence
be made life Imprisonment or such
other term as may seem best. Mrs.
Mobiles attorney, w. c. Glenn. has re-
turned from Italy to do what he can
to prevent the carrying out of the sem
tence. He says his return was due al
most entirely to his belief that the old
woman was wrongfully convicted and
should not suffer death. The petitions
so far completed have been filed with
Governor Atkinson for the considera-
ton OF the pardon board. The case
must be disposed of in very short
time and, whatever the ultimate re-
suit, is bound to cause some very
spicy proceedings
There is a deeply rooted sentiment
In that state against the hanging of
women, especially those of the white
race. But two OF the latter have ever
been executed in the history of the
state. About a century ago Polly Ba-
ker was hanged in Wilkes county for
poisoning rival. The other case was
that Of Miss Susan Eberhardt. who
was hanged in 1872 for the murder OF
Mrs. Spann. At this time public feel
Ing was so strong against the hanging
Of woman that Governor Smith lost
all political influence when he per-
mitted Miss Eberhardt to ascend the
scaffold. His career ended with the
fall OF the drop.
The eloquence of Henry w. Grady
probably saved Mrs. Souther from a
similar fate. Mrs. Souther killed her
rival In a ballroom in northern Geor-
gia and was tried for the crime. The
case would have gone against her but
for the eloquent plea of Mr.. Grady fol
the immunity of women from execu.
ton. Mrs. Souther was sent to the
states prison instead of the gallows
and later received pardon. She
showed her gratitude by naming one
Of her boys for the lamented editor
