Was He the Murderer?

Governor Glenn admitted yesterday
that about as strong a case had been
made against another man as could
be made against Adams. All the evil
dence against the prisoner is purely
and totally circumstantial, and many
say that it is not conclusive enough
to convince a perSGn beyond a reason
able doubt that Adams is guilty. The
"other man" is BridgerS, the husband
Of the murdered woman. 1t has been
represented to the Governor that on
the afternoon of the murder there
was a disagreement between Bridgers
and his wife, and that he killed her.
The crime, the representation con-
tinues, was witnessed by Bridgers'
children, and to cover up the crime
he attempted to kill his children, who
were eye witnesses to the deed. Con-
cealment by some one has been well
effectd. To add color to this thory, it
was stated that even before the first
trial in the case was held, Bridgers
was engaged to be married to another
woman, and that within six months
after the commission of the murder
he was married again.
To this is added an incident that
took place in the sheriff's office some
time ago. Bridgers went in and asked
permission to witness the hanging OF
Adams. An officer in the room said
to him:
1.-THE Governor thinks you are the
man that killed your Wife
And relating it, the officer said that
great drops of perSpiration, as large as
the end of his fingers, StOO out on
BridgerS' forehead

Requests for PardOns.

1t is surprising to know the large
number of requests received by the
Governor for pardons. His mail is lit
orally flooded frequently with petitions
for pardons, and often the correspond
ent evidently knows very little of the
case of which he writes, Than all 9TH
er considerations combined, the rec
ommendation of the trial judge and
solicitor have more weight. Sentiment
will have small influence with the gov
ernor in determining his course re-
garding such an application to him,
and the strongest most effective APP
peal to him is that of reason, and when
he interferes with the execution of q
sentence it will be based upon some
sound reason.

MAY BE COM MUTED
Suspicious Circumstances on the Par
of the Husband of the Murdered
Woman May Influence the
Governor to Inter-

A doubt in the mind of Governor
Glenn may save the life of Will Adams,
the negro in Wake county Jail, under
sentence of death. A few weeks ago,
on the very eve of the time set for
his execution, he was granted a re-
prieve, but the date of his death again
draws nigh, and a hard fight will
be made by his counsel, Mr.. VIM. s..
Snow, in the face of a refusal from
the Supreme court to authorize a new
trial, and the failure of the trial judge
and solicitor to recommend clemency,
to have his death sentence committed
to life Imprisonment. Once the SUI
preme court allowed the prisoner a
new trial, but on the second appeal,
although the Supreme court said that
there was very little evidence against
Adams, yet what there was, had been
found correctly by the jury. TO the
minds of the judge and solicitor
Adams is guilty, but there has been
raised a strong doubt in the mind of
Governor Glenn, and it is possible
that Adams will not hang

RUST as Mr.. Bowser reached his
gate the other evening as he
came home from the office a man
~ drove up with a patent fire es-
cape in a wagon and sought to interest
him. He had called a day or two pre-
viously, and Mr.. Bowser had been in
terested and almost ordered one. but
now be gave the thing a careless look
ing over and said:
ut may be a good thing and doubt
less is, but 1 don't care for it."
But I must show you how it works.

Yes, l know, but we'll let it go.

should be turned down. She had fur
Their cause for wonderment when Mr..
BoWser entered the house. He was
calm and serene. One of his umbrellas
had fallen from the rack to the floor,
but he picked it up and replaced it
without a word about that being the

AS he got off the car at the corner
the butchers boy had handed him a
bill for 60 cents as balance on the
weeks account. Ordinarily he would
have produced it with a great flourish
and demanded if Mrs. Bowser was do

III A S
Question TO Continuing Hearing by
Senate Over to Next Session.

Washington, January M-In view CT
to the Senate Of the Houses articles Of
impeachment of Judge Swayne, many
Senators have been engaged today in
considering that question and Senator
Plat, Of Connecticut, chairman Of the
special committee acting for the Sem
ate has taken a leading part in the
work.
Some of the Senators, especially Mes
Sis. Frye and Hale, of Maine, advane-
ed the opinion that the case might be
postponed until next session, out after
an examination of prece-
dents and consideration of the case,
Mr.. Plat announced his inability 10
agree with them. He said he did nor
believe that out Of justice to Judge
Swayne the insuiry should be postpol-
ed for any length of time after 1t is
brought to the attention of the Senate,
and he doubted whether if sthis point
were eliminated, the Senate could make
the postponeInent. 1t might be compe
tent, he thought, to defer trial after or
ganizing the Senatorial court, but if
that course should be decided upon, the
present congress would terminate, new

there Is no other way open than to

GRAFTON of the case. Senator Spooner
and other senatorial lawyers concurre5
in his opinion
Those who advocate p-ostponement
take the ground that as the Senate is
q continuing body it is competent for
it to defer action until next session f
it so desires. They also say that with
only six weeks of the session left it Will
be extremely difficult for the Senate to
enter upcn h Swayne trial n also
continue it's consideration of legisla-
tive business.
Speaker Cannon did not name thu
committee to present the articles Of the
House today, having received informa-
ton from Senators that they desired 10
have the matter delayed. There is =
precedent for delaying in presenting ar
ticies of Impeachment cases until the
day before the expiration Of the term
which throws the trial into the next
congress. 1t rests with the House, hcw-
ever. to decide what course shall be
pursued.

longer we naturally use more gas"
But the amount Of this gas bill is

"People are prone to complain of the

are honest men. I have no doubt we

She had another card to play. Hunt
ing up the euchre deck, she laid it on
the table before him and said:
You have Dragged around what q
good -euchre player you are, but I'll
show you that you know nothing about
the game"
On other nights that challenge wauld
have been met with snOrts of defiance,
but on this occasion Mr.. Bowser softly
laid aside his literature and picked up
the cards with a smile. She won both
tricks, bat he hadn't a word to say
about fools luck. She won one trick
on the second hand, but was not;eharg-
ed with cheating.
AS a matter of fact, she sent him to
Chicago in three hands out. and when
she clapped her hands and laughed the
cats heart jumped into her mouth, and
she said to herself:
eff that don't make the old man get
up and howl and smash furniture. then
he's 4 :goner for sure"
I'm an easy mark at any game of
cards." was Mr.. Bowser's answer to
the outburst of elation, and even when
it was found that he had won only one
game out of seven there was no row.
There was just n thing more Mrs.
BOwser could think of, and in her des-
peration she applied it.
There are times" she said in q
trembling voice. there are times when
you threaten to apply for a divorce.
If you want a divorce, why don't you
go ahead and get one?"
Eyes, any dear, there are times,
many times, when / make a fool of
myself, and you are very foolish to
pay any attention to anything I say.
1t will be a sad day when l really feel
that I ought to get a divorce from
you"
Nothing more could be said. While
Mrs. Bowser pretended to read, al
though her eyes were filed with tears.
Mr.. Bowser kay down on the lounge
and stretched cut and played with the
cats tail and was presently asleep.
When he began TO snore Mrs. Bowser
tiptoed over TO the telephone and call
ed up the family doctor and stated
facts and fears and wound up by ask
ing:
~ have tried every means. and he
cannot be reused. For mercy's sake
tell me if anything further can be
done?'
Nothing whatever" was the reply.
"Such men as Bowser have lucid inter
walls now and then and behave like
other folks. and the only way is to
humer their whims. These intervals
are generally brief, and let us hope
that within the next t~wenty-four hours
your husband will be paying So apiece
for Leghorn hers and raising eight dol
lar eggs. IL. QUAD.

a dead failure. He continued to read
his paper for two or three minutes and
then quietly answered:

house and demanded how she dared
run in debt when he gave her a stipu-
lated sum every week, but Oh this oc-
something was said.
81 presume this is for you, but if you
don't happen to have the change I'll
give it to you"
. The cook had burned the steak, and
the potatoes were UNDERGONE, and Mrs.
Bowser had been in fear and trembling.
She expected something to be said, and
something was said:
''This seems to be one Of the times
when the cook is off," remarked Mr..
Bowser without feeling and at the
same time doing his best to make a
meal.
Eyes, she has spoiled your dinner,
and I am very sorry for it."
"Oh, well, we can't expect too much
from hired help! She'll probably do
better tomorrow night"
AT other times Mr.. Bowser would
have taken advantage Of the occasion
to pound on the table with his fist
and vow by the beard Of his father
that he was not a dog and would not
be fed like one, and he would have
gone on to say that there was no sys-
tenn in the house and he expected to
become q pauper within q year. His
conduct appeared so inexplicable that
Mrs. Bowser took three or four furtive
glances at him and hen asked:
care you not feeling as we'll as usual
this EVENING"
Just the same, dear, or even bet
ter"
Just then a belated banana peddler
came along and stopped in front of the
house and yelled and shrieked and
screamed for five minutes. On other
occasions about the fourth scream
would have brought Mr.. Bowser to
the door with blood in his eye, and if
the noise had not been u off short
the banana man would have felt a
house hit him, but this evening no at
tention was paid to the sounds.
Mrs. BOwser couldn't make things
out. She had a feeling that Bowser
was not Bowser, but some one else.
After a little elaboration she said:

"Yes?" he replied. well, I suppose
I put it in pretty thick in those old
days, though I don't know as I would
take anything back now"
His old love letters have always been
a sore point with him and have had to
be only casually mentioned to set him
working his ears, and there was some
thing almost like spite in Mrs. Bow
ser's heart as she continued:

Washington. January 1S.-Walker
d. Hines. representing the Atlantic
Coast Line and the Louisville and
Nashville roads appeared before tie
House committee on Interstate COM
merce today. He stated on behalf Of
railroads generally that there was no
effor to deny the propriety OF neces-
sity of effective regulation of the rail-
roads. The public, he said. certainly
expected ii.
The question TO be considered most
carefully, he continued. was what
would be the actual effect OF pending
legislation authorizing the interstate
commerce commission to FIX rates.
when IL should declare them to be un-
reasonable There was, he said, oniy
one way 10 construe this authority. II
it CAV authority to fix one rate. 1t
gave authority TO fix all. Mr. Hines
said hat the most expert traffic man
ager did not make a classification
without finding that something else
was to be done after. he had finished
it. He said I'm view OF the complex
condition bearing on rate making. ft
would be impossible TO exaggerate the
situation hat would exist after the
commission had been at work on it
for four or v years. they would have
changed so many rates. The develop
ment OF commerce, he attributed 10
the rapidity and fexibility with which
railroad men had met new conditions.
Rapidly was the essential thing. he
said. and remarked that III they had
to come TO Washington every time an
adjustment was TO be made. 80 much
time would be consumed that the con-
dition sought 10 be met would have
disappeared before action would be
finally taken.
