Kept a Secret Fifty-Two Years.

She came back to the United States
to find the house of her father, a
wealthy Canadian merchant, shut
against her. Mrs. Norris. though under
no obligation so to do, has kept her
knOwledgeof the identity of the ''veiled
murderess' a secret through all the
years since her arrest and conviction
on the charge of killing Timothy LAM
gan and Catherine Lubee in Troy, N.
Y, fifty-two years ago. The Chicago
woman went to Sing-Sing prison more
than thirty years ago to see Charlotte
Ward, then prisoner at that institu-
ton. She was with her for am hour
When Mrs. Norris came from her talk
with the woman convict the prison all-
thorities begged her to tell them who
thier charge was. She declined. know
ing that her old schoolmate did not
then wish her identity known.
Charlotte Ward a Beauty.
In telling her story Mrs. Norris said:
''There is no question about the identi-
ty Of the yelled murderess' She was
my classmate for years at the Emma
Willard school, and she spent the whole
of one vacation as my guest at my
home in Utica, N. Y. Charlotte Ward
was a beauty and woman of the high
est accomplishments. She was hard
student and remarkable linguist. She
knew half a dozen languages WELL
Charlotte had three sisters, all of whom
at one time or another were pupils at
Miss Wizards.

Lied from Beginning to End.

Lied from Beginning to End.
In the middle of the justices re-
marks the reporters were asked to
leave the room, but before they had
reached the door they were called back
by the speaker, who said that he left
1t to their discretion as to just what
parts of his speech were to be used.
1--WE have heard a great deal in the
public press of late of severe criticism
of Mr.. Rand and his conduct of the
trial." said the justice. "You can't
prosecute criminal without telling
what you believe to be the truth. In
the second trial before me the defend
ant went on the stand, and It was
quite obvious that that she was telling
fa1sehoods from beginning to end. The
very air seemed charged with the fact
that she was lying.
Worst Feature of the Case.
''Yet she was a woman. She was
young. 1t was natural that the pub
lie should sympathiZe with her. Peo-
pie seemed to know that she was not
telling the truth, and the great public
of New York said: why shouldn't she
lie? Let her lie. Let her get the bene-
fit Of her lies,' But today, in the light
of the last disagreement, / feel sure
that most people are convinced-that
majority of the people believe = that
the pistol that killed Caesar Young
was held by Nan Patterson; was dis
charged by her; was bought by j. Nor
gan Smith, in an attempt to get money
from Caesar Young for the support OF
the combined family.
Not Premeditated Murder, However.
'I don't mean to say that she took
the pistol from the reticule and shot
him in the side, but I do believe that
she had the pistol and showed 1t to
Caesar Young. An argument followed
and he took hold Of the weapon. In
the conversation and consequent strug-
gle the pistol went off and the man
was killed. believe, moreover, that
had she told the story on the witness
stand as 1t really happened-in other
words had she told the truth - that
second jury would have acquitted her."

of the greatest demonstration that has
been seen at a steamer departure for

local people departed on the liner and
the pier was so jammed with humanity
that it was almost impossible for one
to move. The Hawaiian band were on

.KUH|0 MAY
RUN AGAIN
Tells Friends He Will Be
a Candidate for the
Nomination.

The report comes from one of the
other islands that Delegate Kuhio has
made the statement to certain of his
friends that he will be a candidate
before the next Republican Territorial
| Convention for the Republican nomin-
| alton for Congress.
This is a long ways ahead to do
| politics, possibly, but the announce
ment is none the less full of portent
| for that. 1t has been a more or less
open secret that Kuhio was nominated,
| the last time, as the result of a bar
gain-or, rather that when Kuhio was
nominated last time there was a bar
gain, perhaps agreement would be the
better word. to the effect that Kuhio
| was to be given that nomination and
honor next time. The matter has been
discussed, in the newspapers and
among politicians, and nobody has ever
denied that some such understanding
existed
Consequently, the announcement now
that Kuhio has concluded not to abide
by the terms of the agreement-if, in
deed, he ever entered into it at all
will be apt to give the National Com
imating heart failure. Because, no
matter how strong the machine that
Robertson may succeed in building up
between now and the time for holding
the next Republican Territorial Con-
vention, it is beyond question that
without the support of Kuhio's friends
some very important cogs in the ma
chine will be lacking, Indeed, with
huhio AID Robertson at outs, it is en-
tirely likely that the Republican ele-
ment that is favorable to neither,
which is a formidable element, would
hold the balance of power. In fact,
that element might be able to name
some other man altogether.
Kuhio, of course, will have the native
element behind him, and in certain con-
tingencies might command the support
of the other element hostile to Robert
son. whom most politicians aside from
the gentleman himself admit would be
a weak candidate outside of Oahu. The |
candidacy of Kuhio, at all events,
opens up decidedly interest |
ing set of contingencies, and the fact
drawing of lines in the Congressional
fight than anybody had anticipated. |
Kuhio, at present, is on Hawaii.
