"Now that Mrs. Aylieff has opened a

interested in the rescue work as contem-
plated by several prominent philanthropic
society ladies of this city, among them
some of the w. C. T.. U. workers, 1--WE

work on account of her experience at
Newman Mission, which has now closeo
its doors to the homeless women because
it was not good policy to keep the men

and do much better for themselves, such
as scrubbing, cleaning, cooking.

THE ROESEL CASE
Court Of Pardons Hears Peti-
tons To Save the Union
County Murderer.
HIS ATR0CIoUs CRIME
Court Listens To Pleas For
And Against, and Re-
fuses To Interfere.

The Court of Pardons met this morning
to hear a petition to save the neck of
Louis Roesel, who is sentenced to be
hanged in Union county on March 10 next.
The crime for which Roesel was con-
victed and condemned to be hanged was
a peculiarly atrocious one. On the night
of September 9, 1897, james Pitts, a far
mer 20 years old, was reading in the
kitchen of his farmhouse in Summit
township, Union county. Hearing a
noise at the kitchen door he opened it
and the next minute he was struck to the
j ground by Louis Roesel who battered in
his victims skull with a gambrel stick. 1t
leaked out that a farm hand named
George Manshande told Roesel tina Pitts
had that day sold a piece of land and
had a large sum of money in his house.
This was the motive for the bloody
deed.
Mrs. Pitts, the aged wife of the farmer,
hearing the noise downstairs, rushed into
! the kitchen to find her husband dead and
the floor red with his blood. Roesel at
tempted to kill her, but she fled scream
ing for help to a n%eighbor. Some men
heard the screams of the woman and
rushed in and secured Roesel before he
had robbed the house.
Roesel and Manshande were tried for
murder. but the latter pleading non vult
and giving the people sufficient evidence
to hang his accomplice was sentenced to
twenty years imprisonment. On May 10
1898, Roesel was convicted of murder in
the first degree and sentenced to be
hanged on June 3, 1898. A writ of error
was taken to the Supreme Court but
dismissed. and Roesel was again sentenced
on October 2S last to be hanged on March
10 next.
AT the hearing this morning RoeselS
counsel was Frank Bergen and opposing
the plea for mercy, Prosecutor English
and ex-Prosecutor Fred c.. Marsh, who
prosecuted Roesel during his term of
Office.
Lawyer Frank Bergen, in asking for
mercy for the murderer, SAID that Roesel
was a boy not twenty years old. The
lawyer admitted that Roesel and Man
shande went to Pitts house to rob him,
and when the farmer came to the door it
was Manshande who struck the fatal
blow and beat Pitts until he died. Roesel,
counsel said, had no stick in his hand,
and the only crime he was guilty of was
| going to the house with intent to rob the
farmer. Counsel argued that there were
grave doubts as to the law, which holds
| that if two or more go to commit burg
larry and a death ensues, the crime is
homicide.
The Court, after a long deliberation,
refused to interfere and the murderer will
swing from the gallows next Friday.

upstairs. In order that there may be
no danger to the pupils Director Quinn

this morning to break down all the plas-
tering that was loose and in danger OF
falling. When the exception of the CELL
ings the school will be put in first class
condition before it is opened.
SUPERINTENDENT Snyder said he did not
