How can this automatic trio ex.
pect mercy from the jury after the
startling and positive evidence Of yes
terday?
We all have natural desire for
mercy, not wishing harm to any indi-
vidual, but who could look about that
courtroom and note the sad faces of
women dressed in deep mourning and
then expect mercy?
There was Soveas mother, Mrs.
James Mcmahon. She was robbed of
her son by these men. There was Mrs
Driscoll. She was made a widow by
them. The wives of Officers Drscoll
and Quinn might have been present to
see the men who shot their husbands.
There sat Mr.. Stewart, father of young
Stewart, murdered in cold blood by the
wretched trio. In the face Of all
this, how can we expect these desper-
ADDE'S to escape the inevitable end?

pity Mrs. VanDine and Mrs, Med
ermeyer-two absolutely different
types of women, but mothers, with the
mothers love deep-rooted.
1t is evident that VanDine had some
love for his mother. In the testimony
yesterday 1t was related several times
that when he was captured after the
Indiana dug-out fight he exclaimed:
For Gods sake don't shoot. sur
render. ! am ready to die; but want
to see my mother and my sweetheart
before | die"
A feature of the trial yesterday was
the presence of so many well-dressed
women, craning their necks and stand
ing on tip toe in an eager desire to see
the defendants.
Strange how curiosity will attract so
many of the tender sex to a court
room.

the Art.

One of New York's wealthy women
has this year become singing teach
er, not for the sake Of the money she
might earn nor purely from her in
terest in the art. She has studied
singing herself, knows its principles
from study and practice and is quite
capable Of doing well the work she
has undertaken. But had 1t not been
for her desire to help a teacher in
whom she was interested she might
never have undertaken to transmit
her knowledge to Others The desire
to keep together the pupils OF teach

LEFT SEAT IN CONGRESS.
Recent Action Of Congressman Sha-
froth Had Precedent.

Mr.. Shafroth of Colorado is not the
first Democrat who refused to accept
a seat in congress because he believed
his election had been tinged with
fraud. When j. c. G, Black of the
tenth Georgia district ran against
Thomas E. Watson he was elected by
a good majority, but 1t was charged
that there was much irregular voting
in Richmond county. When Mr..
Black learned of this he forwarded his
resignation to the governor, who or
dered a new election. Mr.. Black was
chosen again. Mr.. Shafroth, by the
way, was champion chess player Of
the house while there, being one Of
those who took part in the game by
cable between the house Of represen.
tatives and the British house of com.

So many have been the complaints
against the numerous fortune tellcrs of
New York that Police Commissioner

who advertise freely, A list of the

upon the public has been handed to
Police Commissioner McAdoo and he
will assign two plain clothes men to
the work of driving them from their

is said that there are in New York city
not fewer than 300 fortune tellers who
have developed several degrees of i'm
