GIVEN LIFE SENTENCES
Swan and Mrs. JosIyn Each Receives
Life Judgment.
sEvERE WORDS FROM THE JUDGE
Woman Who Poisoned Her Husband
Too Weak to Stand When Sentence
Was Passed-Jury Out Only Fifteen
Minutes in Swans Case.

Mason, Mich, Feb. 21.-Within q
half hour Isaac Swan and Mrs. Carrie
Joslyn, accomplice and principal in
the poisoning of the latter's husband,
William A. JOslyn, last December
were late Monday afternoon sentenced
for life in Jackson prison. Mrs. JOS
lyn will serve her life sentence in the
Detroit house of correction.
Through the trying ordeal Swan
maintained his cool demeanor, but
Mrs. JOslyn was so unnerved that she
was allowed to sit down during the
time that Judge West was passing
sentence on her. She broke into tears,
the first time she has displayed any
feeling since her arrest, and had to
be led away by Sheriff Steele and her
physician, DR.. f. Il. Thomas.
The Jury in Swans case was out
only Is minutes. 1t was understood
that the defendant would go on the
stand but at the last moment the
plan was changed and the attorneys
on both sides consented to let the jury
take the case without argument.
The jury retired at $40 and very
promptly brought In verdict OF
Judge West at once ordered Swan
to stand up. His father sat on one
side of him and his uncle, Frank
Swan, on the other. Asked If lie had
anything to say, Swan replied In a
low voice that he had not.
The judge thereupon sentenced him
for life at Jackson. The only tears
shed were by Swans younger broth
er, Charles-the go-between in the
clandestine correspondence of Mrs.
Joslyn and Swan-who shed q few
tears and muttered:
"The sentence isn't against Isaac
alone, but against the whole family
Pronouncing sentence the Judge said
to Swan:
"There Is no excuse for the exercise
Of leniency in your case. You helped
to kill man who had much to live
for. You had no excuse for the crime
except your own lustful desires. You
can never practice those desires
again. You can never break up an
other home. I trust that your example
may be severe warning to those who
are following the pathway of unholy
love-"
AS soon as swan n6d Deen LED away,
Mrs. Joslyn was brought over to the
court room. She asked that her at
torney, l.. T., Hemans. be present when
she faced the judge. He was sent for,
but failed to arrive in time. Owing
to her weakened condition Judge
West allowed her to sit with her
physician, DR.. r. e. Thomas standing
at her side. To Mrs. JOslyn the judge
said in part:
yours was most cold-blooded
and deliberate murder. You have two
children whose father you planned to
kill. You sacrificed him on the shrine
Of unholy lustful desire. You have
never known such a thing as love. 1t
was only passion. Poisoning is coolest
crime of the murderer. For two long
weeks you stood at the bedside OF
your husband waiting for him to die
1t was the acme of cruelty"

FIFTY BODIES RECOVERED.
Narrowing Scenes at Alabama Mines
When So Many Were Slain.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 22.-Of the
&C mineIs of Virginia City who entered
the mines Monday afternoon, thus far
only fitty bodies have been recovered.
Tile recovery already of lifty lead
bodies precludes any idea that life
may still remain anon gthe unfor-
tunates.
With the first ominous rumble of the
coming catastrophe, by common I'm
pulse, every one in the village rushed
TO the mouth Of the main slope. The
scenes at the mines are the most
narrowing that ever have been wit
messed in the mining section of Ala
bama. The corpses were frightfully
mangled and. disfigured and Identified
ton is almost impossible Many of
the bodies are so bruised, twisted and
discolored that negroes cannot be told
from white men.
At all hours at the mouth of the
mine are waiting and moaning women
and children whose relatives are
among the unfortunates One hundred
families and 800 children are left
destitute and without means of sup
port by the calamity.
AS thC DoulCS VI Tue NlCtl1lS, WHICH,
In. many cases have been gathered
together a piece at time, are brought
to the surface, they are placed in rows
on a rough, improvised platform.
Later, ambulances began the removal
of the bodies so far recovered to
Bessemer.
Since the list of dead probably will
go to 100, the local undertakers have
wired to adjoining cities for collins,
as il was found there were not enough
suitable collins In the district to bury
the victims.
Out OF the fifty bodies recovered, one
was found about o'clock Tuesday
afternoon In which there were faint
chickering's of life. The body was
carefully taken from the mine, and
heroic methods resorted to to bring
the NAV to consciousness. He is stlll
alive, but scant hope is held out for
his tttCNcry.
