Extenuating Circumstances in
Case Of Sailor Homicide.

ALBANY. n. Y, June 24.-The discov-
cry that Emil Totterman, the sailor
sentenced to death for the murder OF
Sarah Martin IN Kelly's Hotel, New
YORK., N December, 1904, and who has
bees reprieyed until August ], holds
ts.r.e hero medals. may save him from
tie death chair.
4 plea has been made that Totterman
committed the crime when Intoxicated
Papers have been presented showing his
record in Finland was clean.
Governor Higgins said
II have found that Totterman holds a
medal from Congress for bravery on
the battleship Iowa In the battle OF
Santiago that he holds another Con-
gressionai medal for bravery, and was
further awarded q medal for the saving
OF lives at sea.
I would consider these extenuating
circumstances TO prevent the taking OF
life in the electric chair at least"
1t Is believed Tottermans sentence will
be commuted to life imprisonment

be given In the penitentiary, the court
made It ten centuries and one day over.
The negro asked the court TO pass
