THE remission of rs per cent. of the

now paid, means an annual increase of
income to these people of 81, 300 600. This
means the lifting of a mortgage from

A WOMAN DID 1T.
Told the District Attorney How to
Convict MOIineux.


From the New York Journal.
A woman convicted Roland Burnham
Molineux.
She was not witness, nor is she even
remotely connected with the case. But
she suggested to Assistant District At
ecution, the plan of his opening speech,
his method of proof. The result was
conviction. This distinguished honor rests
upon Miss Viola Roseboro, one of the ed
itors of McClures Magazine, and author
of numerous clever short stories published
by the Century Company
1t is not Miss Roseboro who makes any
such claim. Mr.. ODborne himself volun-
tarily, for the purpose, as he said to the
Journal yesterday, of giving credit where
it is due, made the statement and asked
that it be published.
Assistant District Attorney Osborne left
yesterday afternoon for his old home in
Charlotte, N C. He will spend a week
with his family. There he will see his
mother, who, although she is So years of
age, retains the use of her brilliant facul-
ties.
Mr.. Osborne will not be present at the
sentencing of MolineuX tomorrow. He
thinks he has accomplished his great pur-
pose, and will take no part in the fight
against the granting of a new trial before
the Court of Appeals. He was on his
way to the Southern Railway train yes
terday afternoon, when he said to a Jour
nal reporter.

the newspapers have said of me since the
