street, was arrested yesterday and held
in $4,000 bail on the charge of larceny and
false pretenses. Investors in Lyons

Mrs. Lyons said that she and he- hus-

of 1000, besides property worth $4,000,
and that they had kept within their cap

that the business carried on by the com

Albany, Feb. 21.-Dr. Mary A. Walker
was the center of attraction yesterday
when she was accorded hearing before
the assembly committee on codes on Mr..
Muher's bill to abolish capital punish
ment. Chairman Weeks. in introducing
DR.. Walker. stated that she represented
the entire female sex for the state, and
therefore he had succumbed to her per-
suasions and had accorded her hear
ing, something very rarely done by
legislative committee. DR.. Walker, prior
to taking up her argument, said that she
had not been sent here by her sex, but
she had come to favor the bill as law
abiding citizen who was opposed to state
judicial murders.
DR.. Walker said, in part: "A man kills
il man for his money-the state pays \
man to kill the murderer. Both murders
have been committed to get more money
than they could get in a legitimate bust

TERROR STRICKEN.
Awful Scene in Sing Sings Death
House Cages.

Sing Sing, N. Y, Feb. 21.-All the men
Sing prison were greatly shaken yes
terday afternoon. MolineuX was much
agitated and was pale and drawn about
the face when it was over. All the pris
Oners were in similar condition. DR..
Kennedy is said to have been so affected
that he could hardly stand.
Antonio FerrarO is to suffer death
next week for the murder of Lucius
Mussaccio on Sept. 4. 1898. Since be-
ing in the death house he has proved to
be most vicious and uncomfortable.
Warden Johnson feared to inform him
that all appeals for clemency had failed
and that he must die next week. This
duty he intrusted to All italian priest
from New York, who visits the con-
demned man occasionally.
The priest went to the death house
at any time after Sunday at midnight.
The moment Ferraro heard this he burst
forth into a prolonged scream His
screeches in the silent room We're fear
fll, and were totally unexpected by the
prisoners. For the greater part OF half
an hour Ferraro screamed hysterically,
rushing about the cell and acting in a
violent manner. Finally the priest
Gained him somewhat, leaving him
seated on his cot rocking and moaning.
Warden Johnson fears scene when
FerrarO is led to the death chamber on
Monday next. which is the probable date.

President Anson of New League
Knows When He Is Whipped.

Chicago, Feb. N.-What will probably
prove to be the final attempt to revive
the American association has been
stitled by President Anson. Mr.. An
son has refused point blank to call a
meeting of the association, constitution
and bylaws to the contrary notwith-
standing. He was asked by F. c..
Richter of Philadelphia, whose request
was seconded by George p. Heckel of
ST. Louis and Tom Mccarthy of Boston,
to call meeting of the association for
Friday in Baltimore.
II will not call meeting of the as
sociation until some good reason is
shown why the association members
should meet" said Anson. II have re-
ccived request from Richter to call IA
meeting. but l shall not do so. OF
course, ! don't have to go if l don't
want to, but l thought it would be best
to save the rest the trouble of long
journey also. / can see no use in hav-
ing meeting in Baltimore or anywhere
else"

Eess in the same length of time. The
question is, if murder is not sanctioned
by the state, who sanctions the second
murder, for taking life is murder, and
the more Intelligent the murderer the
greater the crime. A man kills man
for revenge. The state kills the mt. =
derer for revenge. The question arises
is the hot revenge murder crime and
the cool revenge murder by the state
greater or less crime.
1T softens the crime of state murder
to do the matter up quickly and make
nice job of it, but the governor who
sanctions such entertainments by elec-
tr;city is entitled to no credit at all You,
Mr.. State have a theory that the more
examples you make in the killing bust
ness the less killings will be done.
"Murderers, al the tine o: commission
Of crime. are in the trench of insanity
or in a never properly balanced condi-
tion, and should be the pitiable wards
of state protection. instead of candidates
for chair Of state eelectrccution."
In closing her remarks, Dr. Walker
called the attention of the committee to
the Molineux case. This young man, she
declared, had been convicted unjustly
on purely circumstantal evidence, and
she stood ready, il necessary. to prove to
the committee beyond Il doubt that Muli-
neux was innocent of the murder of Mrs.
Adams.
The doctor paid her respects to Corn
ish, whom she termed an Infamous falsi-
fer. Continuing. she said: IF had
been Molineux' attorney 1 would have
presented one point to the jury which /
know would have resulted in the ac-
uuittal of the accused. Cornish swore
on the witness, stand that he poured out
for his aunt the seltZer and then swal-.
lowed some himself l tell you, gentle
men of this committee, that if he did
that then he would have either died on
the spot or struggled on and died few
hours later"
At this juncture member of the COM
mittce interposed an objection to Dr.
Walkers speaking on a subject not
germane to the bill. The chairman
de emed the point we'll taken. and stopped
DR.. Walkers discourse ON the MClineux
case.
After Mr.. Maher had spoken for this
bill, the hearing was declared closed.
The bill.- it is understood, will be
"smothered" in some committee. DR..
Walker offered to furnish the committee
with new bill in case it, rejected the
Maher bill, which would provide that
persons convicted of murder on circum-
stantial evidence should be imprisoned
for life. %,
