surface all that life with Edwards had
suppressed. She has become the gentle.
womanly woman she was meant to be
and absolutely incapable of such a crime
as she undoubtedly committed.
On the strength of this change the
strongest appeals have been made TO
Governor Pennypacker from all over
the State. Ten or twelve times the
hanging has been postponed. The Leg
islature has interviewed with a law de-
signed especially for this case. Mrs.
Edwards admits her part in the murder
but Greason steadfastly maintains his
innocence. The fight for his life has
served as reprieVe for Mrs Edwards
for If he is granted a new trial she
will be needed as a witness. Meanwhile
those who have interested themselves
in the womans fate are working hard
to secure her pardon. The case came
before the Pennsylvania board of par
dons In June, when an application 10
