Application For Writ Of Error Denied
BY Justice Harlan.

Washington, Feb. 10-Justice Har-
Ian, OF the United States supreme
court denied an application for a writ
of error in the case Of J. Samuel Nc
Cue. tho former mayor of Charlottes-
Vile. Va, who is under sentence Of
death and is to be hanged for the muir
der OF his wife. Justice Harlan based
his denial on the ground that no fed
eral question was presented in the ap-
plication for the writ His formal en-
dorsement on the application was as
follows:
"The record presented to me dis
closes no ground whatever for a review
OF the judgme ut of the supreme court
of Virginia by the supreme court of
the United States. The application for
a writ of error is therefore denied"
The ground OF the application for the
writ presented by McCue's counsel was
that McCue did not have a fair trial
as guaranteed by the constitution.

MRS. EDWARDS ADMITS
SHE MURDERED HUSBAND
DECLARES THAT SHE ALONE COMMITTED
THE DEED ANO EXONERATES GREASON
THE NEGRO ACCOMPLICE WHO is
CONDEMNED TO DIE

Reading. Pa. Feb. lO.--Mrs. Kate
Edwards. who is under sentence TO be
hanged with Samuel Greason on
Thursday xt.for the murder Of her
husband. made a statement to her
counsel. in which. it is said, she exon
crates Creason from completely in the
murder The statement will not be
given to the public until it is presented
TO the board of paEd0ns, but the infer
ence Is left that she has admitted that
she alone committed the crime.
Mrs. Edwards and Greason. who is
a col0red man, was convicted OF the
murder Of Edwards, and since the
death sentence has been pronounced
extraordinary efforts have been made
10 save them from the gallows. The
board Of pardoDs has heretofore re-
fused TO interfeye. and the state su-
prene court has affirmed the lower
courts verdict.
Mrs. Edwards confession, It is
thought, will place the case in an en-
tire new aspect before the board OF
pardons. The board will meet at Har-
risburg February 10, the day before
the date fixed for the double execution.
II the woman's tstatoment is accepted
by the board It may save the mans
life. II the woman is spared, It will
therefore be entis,ly on sentimental
grounds, as strong pressure is being
brought before the l)oard not to permit
the woman to be mnged. In the trial
much testimony was presented TO show
that Edwards was a dissolute charac-
ter. that he drank heavily and treated
his wife in a brutal manner It wal
shown that Edwards was killed whilo
he lay drunk at his homo.
It is expected th &. the execution
will. az least, be postponed in view Of
the statement Of Mrs Edwards It rs
said Mrs. Edwards conscience has
been troubling her since she has been
receiving the spiritual ministrations Of
her former pastor. Rev. stephen
schweitzer and that she could restrain
herself no lonaar and sent for her
lawyers and madc the statement That
she has not made q statement before

ras desired to chiold her daughter,
