ADMITS MURDER.
Mrs. Kate Edwards Exonerates Sam
uel Gleason For Husbands Death.

Reading. Pcnn-l., Feb. 9-Mrs. Kate
Edwards. who is undc!. sentence to be
hanged with Samuel Gleason on Thurs
day next for the murder of her hus-
hald. made 4 statement to her coun-
sci today. in which. it is said, she ex-
onerated Gleason from completely in
the murder. The statement will not be
given to the public until it is presented
to the Board of Pardons. but the infer
ence is lent that she mas admitted tina.
she alone committed the crime.
Mrs. Edwards and Gleason. who is a
colored man. were convicted of the
murder of EdW ards. and since the
death sentence mas been pronounced
extraordinary efforts have been made
to save them from the gall0ws. The
Board of Parflons has heretofore refus-
al to interfere and the State Supreme
Court has affirmed the lower courts
verdict.
Mrs. Edwards confession IL is
thought will place the case in an On
tircly new aspect before the Board Of
Pardons. The board will meet at Har-
risburg. Feb. Is. the day Lefore the date
fixed for the double execution. If the

the woman IS spared. i. will therefore
be entirely on sentimental grounds, "a
strong pressure is being brought before
the board to no. permit the woman TO
be hanged. In the trial much testimony
was presented 10 show that Edwards
was a dissolute character, that ne
drank heavily. and that he treated his
wife in a brutal manner. 1t was shown
that Edwards vas killed while he lay
drunk at his home.
1t is expected that he execution will,
at least. be postponed in view OF the
statement of Mrs. Edwards. 1t is said
