PISTOL. BULLETS, CANDY.
Girl Finds Them in Her Room and
Puts Detectives to York.

Miss Rose Orner OF No. 3S Buena Vista-ave-.
Yonkers. was the victim on Thursday evening OF
an experience which has unnerved her thorough
iy- She found that revolver, fifty cartridges
and box of candy had been placed a desk in
her room, and inquiry failed to reveal who had
placed them there.
Miss Omer. who is twenty-one years old, Is
considered especially attractive. She is just re-
covering from serious injuries received in a
trolley accident month ago. She was greatly
alarmed. When she discovered the articles she
thought that the candy might be poisoned Why
the pistol and bullets were there she could not
guess Miss Omer consulted James Gore. pri-
vate detective. of No. &c, ,Chestnut-st-. who made
certain discoveries and then turned the case
over to the local detective bureau. The results
of the investigation have not been learned, but
IT is stated, according to the authorities. that
young man had become hopelessly infatuated
with Miss Omer. There were reasons, IT Is said,
why he could not hope to win Miss Omers hand.
This young man sought by the detectives,

articles in the girls room, but asserted that he

Con.nputation Can Be added to

Justice BischoT of the Supreme Court yesterday
sustained the law which adds the amount OF COM
mutation en- a first term 10 the second sentence or
any his second conviction. The decision Is
the writ OF habeas corpus brought by Charles L.
lie Barber counsel for Edward J. Russell, who is
now confined IN Sing sing on second conviction
FOR felony. In 1883 Russell sentenced to eight
years and ten months. In 1884 he was discharged
because of g Communication OF three years for good
behavior In 1897. before the three years had ex-
pired he was again convicted OF felony and Is now
imprisoned under q ten-year sentence,
The contention of Nr. lie Barber was that, with
the usual Communication for good behavior the sec
ond term had expired. and because the period OF
Communication given for good behavior the first
sentence had been added to- the second. he was
unlawfuIly detained The lawyer declared that the
law was unconst titutonai. the ground that II
places the accused twice in jeopardy for the same
offence that the additional Imprisonment for
the revoked period Of communication IS without the
due process OF law" Justice Bischoff says:
Every constitutional right OF the convict IS OBJ

is sentenced 10 a definite term Of confinement
The second charge involves no Jeopardy under the
