his offer that Mr.. Stutler secured the use of
it until July 1. The offer has been accept

recommendation of Mr.. Stutier, they today
appointed +. E Edgington as dumpman in

pALLEsEN's MuRDERous ASSAULT.
The Circumstances as Related by Mrs
Hengesb0cIl.

HenSesbnch.
Mrs. Charles Hengesbach. one of the VIC
tins of Olef Pallesen's frenzy, is reported
to be much better today. The seven knife
wounds inflicted by Pallesen are still giving
the patient considerable trouble, but her
anxiety about her child seems to bother her
more than the wounds. She has not yet
been told of the little ones DEATH
The physicians attending the woman have
permitted her to make statement of the
circumstances Of the murderous assault
She said she and her child called on Mrs
Pallesen Wednesday afternoon, as the lat
ter was doing some sewing for her. While
she was in the room talking about the sew
ing, Mrs. Pallesen spoke to her about her
husbands dependency, due to his inability
to get employment. They We're discussing
his peculiar actions, when he suddenly
came in from the kitchen. His wife again
made a remark about his despondency
hoping to cheer him, but 1t had the oppe-
site effect He rushed at Mrs. Pallesen at
once and struck her, and while they were
struggling, Mrs. Hengesbach said, she
grabbed her little child and started for the
street. telling Mrs. Pallesen to follow her
She heard the man say something about
knife and saw him go toward the kitchen
Mrs. Palleson followed her to the porch
and just she reached there her husband
overlook her. She saw his wife fall and
said she was probably knocked from the
porch. Then Palleson came toward her
(Mrs. Hengesbach) and her child. Mrs
Hengesbach said she tried hard to protect
her child from the mans assault. Just
what followed, with the exception of when
he stabbed her, the injured woman cannot
tell.
Mrs Pallesens funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon from the home of her
stepmother, No. 1910 X street northwest.
The body Of Julia Hengesbach has been
placed In a vault at Holy Rood cemetery.
Mrs. Pailesen's remains Will be buried at
Prospect Hill cemetery.
1t Is expected that the facts of the homi-
eide will be presented to the grand jury as
soon as Mrs. Hengesbach Is able to appear
and give her testimony.

whom Judge Brown has refused 10 extra

We have respectfully 10 present that
while We approve the legislation of Con-
gress for the extradition for trial of those
charged with crime in other lands yet We
perceive the dangerous inconsistency in its
failure 20 enact the proposed legislation
for the removal from one State 10 another
OF men indicted in our own country for
crimes committed against It's laws.
1t seems commendable to eStr2dite
those accused Of postal crimes in Cuba for
trial in that country, but While the great
est haste is made II expeditinS the re-
moval OF American citizens for trial before
a Spanish court. il seems impossible. III
view OF the absence Of the necessary legts-
lstiOn. to remove men for trial charged
with the crimes OF the highest magnitude
from one United States district 20 another
We recommend our Representative in C-H-
gress to do all in his power to cause the
passage Of the law proposed by the Atto--
ney General which VIII have the effect CT
compelling Judges OF the United States
courts to conform to the established prae-
tice in such matters.
Surely it is no more important to re-
move for trial from New York to Cuba
men who are charged with pecuIation in
the amount Of an hundred thousand Collars

embezzlement of more than two million of
