DOOMED WOMAN
GETS LIFE LEASE
Mrs. Edwards Gains by Reprieve
Of Negro Who Was to Die
-. = 49, -

Harrisburg, Pa, March l5.-The
Pennsylvania supreme court having de-
cided to send the case of Samuel Grea-
son, colored, under sentence Of death
in Reading for the murder Of John Ed
wards in 1901, back to the Berks county
court, the board Of pardons today
granted a continuance in his case and
also in that of Mrs. Kate Edwards,
white, who is also condemned to death
for the same crime. The decision acts
as a stay, pending the disposal Of the
case by the eBerks county court
Greason and Mrs. Edwards had been
sentenced to be hanged on Feb. 16, but
on Feb" Is attorneys for Greason,, ap-
peared before the board of pardons and
submitted evidence to the effect that
Mrs. Edwards had confessed that Grea-
son was innocent Of the crime Of kill
ing her husband. The board thereupon
reprieVed Greason so that his case
could be, further investigated and re.
prieved Mrs. Edwards in order that she
might be used as a witness in Greason Is
behalf. 49,
Nothing has been done looking
toward a new trial for the condemne ed
woman, and after the Greason case is
disposed Of by the Berks county court
her application for a communication OF
sentence will be acted upon by the
board of pardons. That tribunal has
twice refused communication Of hel
sentence:
Both Greason and Mrs. Edwards have
listened to the reading of the death
warrant ten times and both have beer
under the eyes Of the death watch fol-
two years.

CRIME IN DEATH
OF MRS. STANFORD
Murder Charge Against Some One
Is Expected Soon in
Honolulu.

Honolulu, March 15.-Action will
probably be taken at San Francisco
after the arrival Of the detectives sent
here to Investigate the recent death of
Mrs. Stanford in this city.
Captain Callundan says this action
will be along criminal lines, as all the
work of the detectives is along those
lines.
Both the detectives now here say
they had positive instructions not to
talk about the case. Both refuse to
discuss Professor Jordan's opinion that
Mrs. Stanford IS death was not due to
'strychnine poisoning. 1t is now be-
lieved that if the death had been nat;
ural this conclusion would have b9en
announced in due course by the detec-
tives, and their attitude and replies to
questions indicate strongly possibilities
that murder charge will be. made
against some one.

Jealousy and the rampant spirit of ca

CONFUSION incident to the evacuation of
.Mukden and the forced retreat to Tie
pass.
Order to Retreat.
; With the entire Russian strategic re-
serves already. engaged, it became i'm
possible to meet the danger Of the situa-
tlon, and at 8 O'Clock in the evening
Of March 8, the order to retire to Tie
pass was given. Thru the narrow boot
leg passage, scarcely five miles wide, a
densely packed mass Of transports
pressed northward, coming under the
ire OF a small squadron of Japanese
cavalry and four mountain guns, which
earlier in the battle had managed to
dart across the Russian line of commun.
;lcatlon and conceal themselves in the
mountains to the eastward. The forces
of General Iserpitsky began an orderly
retirement from the boot toe, and dur.
ing the march Kuropatkin successfully
held at bay the Japanese who were try
ing to reach the railway.

Shortly after 9 o'clock came the order

including the hasty embarkation Of the

SMALL-ARMS FIRE BAD
Neither Japs Nor Russians Are Highly
u. 1.; Effective with Rifles.

New York Sun Special Service - a.,
Washington, March 15.-Authentic
advices received in Washington by OBJ
servers Of the campaign in Manchuria
indicate that the small arms fire of both
armies is poor. The artillery fire on
both sides is good, but better with the
Japanese than with the Russians, altho
the latter have the better ordnance. The
frequent handto- hand fighting, neces-
stating the use of the bayonet, is at.
tributed to inaccuracy of the small-arms
fire and to the practice of the Japanese
Of = attacking at night. The famed
bayenet facility of the British soldiers
had no show in the. South African war
because the Beers were such deadly
marksmen.

GUNS THROWN INTO RIVER
Russian Artillery Losses, Unexplained
- by CAPTURE. Are Accounted For.

: Niu-chuang, March 15.-The military
men here advance the theory that the
difference in the number of guns the
Japanese are reported to have captured
and the number General Kuropatkin is
reported to have lost is due to the fact
that the Russians, when routed, drop
ped guns into the rivers thru the ice
and abandoned others in ravines and
gullies. It is expected that as soon as
the present rush at Mukden is over
search for the lost artillery will be
well rewarded. -.

Nelson Marked for Defeat.

Minnesota will have an opportunity
next year to show her colors. Senator
Knute Nelson is marked, for slaughter
by. the railroads just as Bard was
marked in California. He is offensive
to James J. Hill and to the Hill poll
ticians, and they will try to retire
him. The game will probably be
played somewhat: differently than in
California, but it will be the same old
game, just the same Senator Nelson
is entitled to Hills illwill. He was
strongly antimeerrger during the time
eral years ago, and is steadfastly sup
porting the president today on all mat
ters of railroad regulation.
