MRS. BARROW SENTENCED.
Last of Kidnapers Goes to Jail Fol
Over Twelve Years.

OV&r IWelve years.
New York, June 27.--Mrs. Barrow, the
kidnaper, pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced to ~ years and 10 months in Au'
burn prison. This disposes of the three
kidnapers. They are all in Jail.
The sentence was imposed by Supreme
Court Justice Werner after a plea for
mercy by the defendants counsel in
which District Attorney Gardiner refused
to join, although the defendant had
pleaded guilty.
Mrs. Barrow almost collapsed after
sentence had been given. She was taken,
almost fainting, back to her cell in the
Tombs. There she tainted dead away
and on recovering consciousness went in
to Mysteries.
The only relative of Mrs. Barrow in
court when she was called to the bal
was Mrs. McNally, her grandmother, OF
Goshen. The old lady sat in the rear OF
the court within the rail. She was at
tired in black, with her face heavily
yelled, and carried fan and an umbrel-
la. She wore look of great detection.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Werner
said:
"This case is so important and so I'M
should be permitted to interfere with the
due administration of justice. This de-
fendant stands confessedly guilty of one
of the most abhorrent crimes known to
modern cvilization-a crime that strikes
at the foundations Of society.
"The defendant is a woman, and under
ordinary circumstances that fact would
assure her of the merciful consideration
of the court, but she has committed a
crime that shows her to be void of the
finer and tender feelings characteristic Of
her sex. She has invaded the sanctity of
the American home.
by her act of villainy she has spread
fear among mothers throughout the land,
and her punishment must be such as will
not only make it impossible for her to
repeat the crime but will serve as an
awful warning to others not to attempt
to traffic in human flesh and blood
Language" Justice Werner exclaimed
"is inadequate to describe condemnation
of this crime, and nothing but swift pun
ishment can express the sentiment
against it"

ASK A REHEARING.
State Printer and Binder Dissatisfied With
the supreme Courts Decision.


Special to the Register.
Charleston, W. Va, April SIS. C.
Butler, public printer, and John T.
Johnston & Co., public binders, who
feel aggrieved at the decision of the
Supreme Court in their mandamus pro-
ceedings against the State Board of Ag-
riculture, asked the court to-day,
through their attorney, Geo. E. Price,
for a rehearing of the case on the
ground that the decision was contrary
to well established precedents, both in
State and national jurisprudency.
They maintain that the decision does
not rightly interpret the principles of
law, and if maintained would be very
mischievous in effect, as its principal
action would be to render all contracts
with the State practically useless, as
they could not be enforced in any way
whatever. The cite a score of eases
to show that the United States Supreme
Court has invariably held that State
officers can be compelled by mandatory
proceedings to perform duties that are
purely ministerial.
