Mrs. Places Doom.

1t has been within the power of the peo-
pie of New York to exempt women from
capital punishment if they were disposed
TO do il. 4 bill TO that effect was never in
troduced in the Legislature. Yet, there is
a disposition among many to censure Gov
ernor Roosevelt because he will not inter-
fere to save Mrs. Place from the electric
chair, solely because she is a woman. He
has been asked TO rescue her for no other
reason. That she committed the crime OF
which she was convicted is not denied;
that she was sane and responsible and
simply vindictive is established by ex-
perts. There is positively no mitigating
circumstances in connection with the mur-
der, which was deliberate and fendish to
the last degree. She first subjected her
helpless stepdaughter TO the horrible tor
ture of being sinded by an acid. Then
she killed her in a peculiarly atrocious
manner With the dead girl in the house
she waited all day for the return of her
husband. and as he entered the door, struck
him with an ak in an attempt to kill
him.
1t is almost incredible that any intelli-
gent ptlsoi ShVuib III sc
such an unsexed fiend on the score of wo-
manhood-if she was unsexed. II she is
still to be regarded as a woman. then it
must be admitted that a woman can de-
serve exactly the penalty that is imposed
on any other murderer. AS Governor
Roosevelt says, if this woman should es-
cape, then no woman would hereafter be
punished for murder. since the crime could
never be more deliberate and more Aeinous
than in this case. There are many people
who do not believe in capital punishment,
but even they must admit that, as long
as that is the penalty for murder in the
first degree, it should be inflicted on this
fiend Those who have interested them
selves in her behalf have sought in vain for
the least fact that would diminish the
atrocity of her act Their only refuge was
to urge that, because of the very fiendish-
ness of the deed, she must be crazy. The
experts were not prejudiced against the
claim of insanity. They were ready to
report the exact truth as to her condition
without fear or favor. Their decision is
final on that point, and we may thank
Governor Roosevelt for saving society from
such an encouragement to murder as the
escape of this murderess would be.

A TOUCHING STORY.
Remarkable Facts Developed by the
Investigation of the Suicide Of Mrs.
Marx-Aveling.

London, January 2.-Some remark
able facts have developed regarding
the suicide of Mrs. Marx-Aveling last
March. 1t appears that she learned
that DR.. Aveling, the English Social
ist leader, with whom she had lived
for a number of years, had secretly
married a young lady He admitted
that this was true and intimated that
he was tired of her, whereup Mrs
Aveling said the best thing she could
do was to commit suicide. DR.. Avel-
ing, it further appears, allowed her tc
send to drug store for poison, and
went out walking while she drank it
The public prosecutor would have TAX
en- action in the matter, but for Mr.
Aveling's sudden death on August 4th
last.
Mrs. Eleanor Marx-Aveling was the
daughter of the late celebrated Ger
man Socialist leader, Karl Marx.
