ANOTHER WOMAN IN CASE.
Appealed to the Governor for a Pardon
Some Time AGO.

Harrisburg. Pa. Feb. "a mysterious
woman recently called upon Governor
stone and pleaded with hin to pardon
the Biddlc brothers. who escaped yester-
day from the PittsbuTg Jail. The woman
was about % years OF age, dressed in the
height Of fashion, and made "A special re-
quest of the governor not TO disclose her
name. The executive declined to pardon
the brothers, but granted a respite, that
their case might be heard by the board OF
pardons, on Wednesday next, on an APP
plication for a Communication OF sentence
TO life imprisonment. When the governor
learned that II was reported that Mrs.
Soffel, wife OF the prison warden, was the
who visited him, he gave out a
statement denying that his visitor was
Mrs. Sonel. Ills statement follows:
"The lady who called upon me was not
Mrs. Soncl and had no possible connection
with her. She Is "A lady Of responsibility
In Pittsburg, who came merely out OF
sympathy from reading the proceedings
OF the trial, as mar other sympathetic
people come, She can have no possible
connection with the escape OF the prison
ers. She did not wish her name disclosed.
To give her name would cXpose her ana
her family to an unpleasant and unncc
ossary notorlety. Any Information de-
sired by the district attorney Of Pitts
burg Will be given to him In confidence"

ASSAULT THEORY
LARGELY BELIEVED
How Else 1t Is Asked Gould
ConnoIIy's Face Have
Been Bruised.
OLD MAN WILL LIKELY DIE
Various Stories Told Explaining How
Splinter Was Driven Into the
Aged Mans Head-Doctor's
View.

Elk Point, S. D., Feb. Richard
Connolly. the farmer from whose head
a splinter was pulled by DIR. Rhoden
yesterday, is still alive. DR.. Rhoden
say there are good chances for re-
covery, but flood poisoning. inhamma-
ton of the brain or an abcess may
follow. in which case he cannot live.
The impression is growing here that
Connolly was the victim of an assault
and not of an accident. The theory is
borne out by the fact that h.s-fJce is
bruised, which is hard TO explGi- IL
he was injured simply by the collapse
Of a chair. When the injuries were re-
ceived, there was no one in the home OF
Connolly's brother, Michael, where it
occurred, except the latter's family
and a relative, whose name has not
been learned. At Michael Connolly's
home ii is said conflicting stories are
told as to how the brother was hurt.
one is that he fell down stairs, anoth-
er that he was STOPPING over, when he
fell. These stories are necessary to eX-
plain the bruises oil his face.
If Connolly dies, as 1T is expected he
will, n c%oroner's inquest will be held TO
satisfy those who are not disposed to
believe the story that Connolly was in
iured by the collapse Of a chair. DR..
Rhoden believes there are ~circumstan-
ces that point to the accident theory.
The stick which entered Connollys
head was four inches long, three
fourths OF an inch wide n three
eighths of an inch thick at the smaller
end. The two and a half inches that
entered the skull are covered with gray
hair, brain matter and blood.

ACTRESS WAS RELEASED.
Matches Her Obstinacy Against Per-
versity Of Managers.

Gustav Kobbe relates in the Woman's
Home Companion how a American act
ress-Emma Eames-had her own way
with certain Partisan managers. Says
Mr.. Kobbe: Returning to Paris, she at
last closed an engagement with the
Comique. She was 10 sing ''Traviata,"
but after she had prepared for her debut
she was told that She could not be allowed
to make her first appearance in such an
important role. Then she studied BiZet's
les Pecheurs DIES Perles." But she was
told, w cannot trust this i'm the hands
of a debutante." She was at sea until
she learned that a French composer was
using his influence with the directors to
prevent her debut and in favor OF another
singer.
In the midst OF this distressing s!tua-
ton she received an offer from the opera.
What should she do? Here was an offer
that wou at once start her on her ca
Ieer. Yet she was bound by contract 20
Paravey of the Comique. She asked him
for a release, but the singer for whom
intrigue had secured a debut had utterly
failed, and the young American was told
that now she was to have her chance.
The opening of the exposition was APP
preaching, and the manager thought that
having the only American singer would
be a feather in his cap. She insisted that
she wished to be released. He was obdu-
rate. Finally, at a meeting of the direc-
tors, she walked into the cabinet and said:
NOV i want TO know If you will let me
off"
WE are paying you for not singing"
was the reply.
II am not gcing to leave this room un-
til you have sent for my contract and
torn 1t UP before my eyes,
This is not the time. Come back to-
morrow"
II am not coming back, for I am not
going until you have done what Nv asked
you 10 do
AS a result of hs stand-American pluck
versus French perversity-her contract
was sent for and torn up In the directors
meeting, The next morning ParaVey read
the announcement that she was engaged
for the opera, and he was furious.

my terror of the captain. and, as /
opened the parlor door. cried out the
words he had ordered in O trembling
voice.
The poor captain raised his eyes. and
Mt one look the rum went out of him,
and left him staring sober. The express
sion Of lis face was not so much OF
terror as of mortal sickness. He made
a movement to rise. but l do not be-

We 10Th obeyed him to the letter, and
I saw him pass something from the
hollow Of h!s hand that held his stick
into the palm OF the captains, which
closed upon it instantly.
And now that's done" said the blind
man; and at the words he suddenly
left hold of me, and. with incredible
accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out
Of the parlor and into the road, where,

WHEN ROOSEVELT WAS SWORN
Incident That Prevented the Making
of a %istoric Picture,

A New York man who was present when
Mr.. Roosevelt took the presidential
oath at the home of Ainsley Wilcox in
Buffalo relates this in the New York
Sun:
There is no photograph in existence
Of any vice president taking the oath
as president. When Johnson succeed
ed Lincoln the art Of photography was
not so swift as ii is now. When Arthur
took the oath as Garfield's successor 1t
was in n private house. No artist was
pr esent.
These facts were stated to Mr..
Roosevelt when he reached Buffalo to
become president. He was asked If,
under the circumstances, he would per-
NIT a photograph TO be made while he
was taking the oath in MIR. WilcoX's
house.
AT first he was inclined to protest.
AT the earnest solicitation Of several
persons who were to be present he
finally consented, but it was with the
distinct understanding hat the pho.
tographer was to keep himself in tho
background. Nothing was to be DOM
which would mar the dignity Of the oc"
casion. Secretary Cortelyou vas to ar
range that.
"A young man who had accompanied
President Mckinley on the California
trip, and had been with him at Buffalo
up to the time Of the tragedy, was Sc"
lected to photograph the scene in the
Wilcox residence. He was there with
his camera in advance Of the Roosevelt
party and was concealed as well as he
could be.
When he got there ne found another
one Of his profession in the room, who
had a camera big enough to take a
skyscraper. Just how he got in l shall
not say, but he was net there officially.
However. he insisted on remaining.
Just as Mr.. Roosevelt was about to
take the oath the big camera collapsed
and caused a racket. This naturally
grated upon the occasion, and Mr..
Roosevelt. seeing the other camera,
permission for who's presence there
had been given, he asked that it be
removed.
"And hat is why there is no pic.
ture OF that event, except as IL was
made from Imagination or description
It was a matter of regret to those who
arranged for what would have been n
historical picture, but they could not
insist, the opportunity was lost.
II have never seen any explanation
Of it given, although no secrecy was
enjoined, so far as l know"

I lost no time, Of course, in telling

The tracking Of the fugitives I'm their
flight by the detectives was very COM
plete. Early yesterday morning the
Pittsburg police were notified that q
horse and sleigh had been stolen early
Thursday morning from the barn OF a
Perrysyille farmer. Frequently during
the day reports were received at head
quarters that two men and a woman,
the description OF whom Tailed with
the Biddles and Mrs. Soffel, had been
seen going through different towns
along the route. From the description
furnishedNit a clear to the police that
lney were the IuBlllNeS, anu ueNSCNlNS
were Immediately sent after them. n
Eutler officials were at once notified,
and by telephonirg to the surrounding
small towns IL was learned that the
party had turned away from the direct
road into Butler, and were going
through the wooded country to the
north OF Butler.
The Butler officials at nee went In
the direction In good sleighs provided
with fast horses. They Don found
they were on the raj of the fugitives,
and at 3 o'clock wired the Pittsburg
police that they had learned they were
only thirty minutes behind the sleigh,
