LAST SUNDAY ON EARTH.
Mrs. Martha Place Has but a Few Hour
to Live 5

Mrs. Martha Place Has but Few Hours
to Live. .~#
New York, March l9-Mrs. Martha
Places last Sunday on earth differed
but little from the other days she has
spent in Sing Sing prison. She APP
peared to be growing stronger and
more composed as the time for her
death drew closer. Mrs Place went to
sleep about 10 o'clock on Saturday night
and rested calmly and unhrokenly until
about half past this morning. At that
hour she became restless and continued
so for time, when she calmed down
and slept at intervals until ! o'clock.
At that hour she arose and dressed.
Her meals are now served from the
wardens table, and will be until she
goes to the chair. She ate a hearty
breakfast and spent the morning read
ing her bible and religious pamphlets
During the morning Warden Sage call
ed on Mrs. Place and warned her to be
prepared to go to the chair. Whether
he told her at what hour of the coming
week she must expect the summons is
not known. but 1t is not thought he in
timated to her more than a general idea
of the time. The condemned woman
took the warning coolly. She seems to
have nerved herself to the test At
noon Mrs. Place ate another hearty
meal. Afterward she lay down for
time. After rising she read for awhile,
and then Matron Riley read to her. This
was followed by conversation on gen.
eral and religious matters between
them.
With the approach of mid night the
hours Mrs. Place has TO live are few.
The sentence may be executed at any
hour afterward, but just when the wo-
man will be led to the chair is known to
no one except Warden Sage. and it is
matter of doubt if even he has fully
determined the matter.
