MRS. EDWARDS DOOMED
Pardon Board Refuses a Communication, ant
There is No Appeal.

The State Board of Pardons has
finally disposed of the case of Mrs.
Kate Edwards, the Berks county
woman under sentence of death tor
the murder Of her husband, by re-
fusing to grant her Communication.
There is no apps al from the decis.
ion of the Board, which has twice
refused to commute her sentence,
and Governor Pennypacker will fix
the date of her execution later.
The case OF Samuel Greason, the
woman's alleged negro paramour,
which has been before the Board for
more than two years, was stricken
from the list. Greason was con-
victed of first degree murder, sem
fenced to be hanged, refused COM
mutation and afterward given new
trial and acquitted on the strength
Of confession, made by the wo-
man last winter, that he had moth
ing to do with the murder
Mrs. Edwards was in April, 1902,
sentenced to be hanged and three
weeks later the first application for
a communication was filed. The ap-
plication was based on the ground
that she was all epileptic at the
time OF the killing and was, there
fore, not responsible for the crime.
The affidavits of two distinguished
physicians to this effect were pre-
sented by her ATTORNEYS at the final
argument last week.
A petition, containing $50, 900
signatures, asking that her sentence
be committed was presented by
Mrs. Anna Fitch, of Cleveland. 1t
is reported that the final vote on
the question was two for commu-
tation and two against. The vote
was taken at the executive sessions
OF the Board and this report can
not be verified.

Mrs Edwards New Hope
Hint Dropped in Pardon Board May Prolong
Life.

A Reading dispatch says: "Well'
WE'LL" was all that Mrs. Kate
Edwards would trust herself to say
when she learned Thursday the
seemingly irrevocable edict that she
must be hanged, as the Pardon Boart
had destroyed her last hope of com
mutation. She wrung her hands
and paced her cell, mute in her
agony, until, when her attorneys,
Oliver Lentz and Ellwood II, Dey-
sher, left the prison she mustered
courage to exclaim:
"I know you will do all you can
for mel"
Her lawyers have taken the faint
est possible hope, however from a
remark dropped by one OF the even
ly-divided four members OF the Par
don Board Wednesday.
why was not the theory that the
woman was an epileptic laid before
the supreme court as the basis for
a new trial?" asked one Of the men,
bers of the Board of Pardons.
That hint may be acted upon,
The after-discovered evidence bear
ing upon Mrs. Edwards malady
and that of her father may be laid
before the highest tribunal in just
such all application for a new trial
as was made successfully in behalf
of Greason, Mrs Edwards black
paramour.
Meanwhile the governor is not ex-
pected to issue the new death war
rant or fix the date of her execution
before his return to Harrisburg next
Wednesday.

We LOST THE FIRST.

The recently organized Blooms
burg Athletic Association base
ball team opened the season at
Milton on Saturday, and were de-
feated by the score of s to ?. Con
sidering the fact that the team had
only practiced together three or
four evenings and also that the
Milton outfit is pretty much pro-
fessional, all of them salaried men,
the showing made by the locals
was not at all discreditable. Aside
from a little off color work by
Brooke in right field, who, at criti-
cal stages, dropped two or three
fly balls, the game was a good one.
All of the in6eld played good ball,
particularly Gillen on short. The
game developed the fact that the
boys are weak at the bat and this,
being as it is, such all important
factor, the manager should strive
to overcome by giving them more
practice. Once or twice in Satur-
days game, they had the bases
filled and nobody out, but they
couldn't hit safely.
The boys say it was almost like
playing the Normal team. Long
pitched, Schmaltz played short
stop, and Seal and Titman covered
out-feld positions.

Then, when a fellow draws bead on you you

But here in New York every little sneaking
son OF a gun who has got the price OF pistol
buys one and carries it. You can't go Into d
