SAYS WRONG MAN DIED
Dr.. Mary Walker Start|es New

DEATH PENALTY IS HER THEME
Woman Doctor Assert That State Elec-

Who Was Under Sentence Of Death
in Auburn Penitentiary.
tsreeIal to the Daily press.l

ALBANY. Jan. 25.-Dr. Walker, of
Oswego known throughout country
by reason Of her adoption years ago
Of male attire, today asserted before
the Assembly Committee on Codes
that she knew a case at Auburn Prison
where negro sentenced to death for
murder had escaped that fate, another
negro being executed in his place.
The assertion was made at the hear
ing on the Eagleton bill for the abo
lition Of the death penalty in this
State. When pressed for data by mem
bers of the committee. DR.. Walker
could only say that she had heard the
story from man who was once In
her employ.
How long have you known of this
incident at Auburn to which you have
reference" asked Assemblyman Temp
kins of DR.. Walker.

That's long time for woman
to keep secret, isn't it?" asked Chair
man Phillips.
Members Of the committee seen af-
terward smiled at the assertion of DR..
Walker.
At the State Prison Department the
statement was not taken seriously.
Superintendent Collins was out of the
city, and no one in authority was will

ERRORS OF SPEECH.
coE Abuse OF the Verbs to Get
to Lny md to Lac.

Common Abuxe OF the Verbs to Get,
to Lny md to Lac.
The verb to get Is one of Nur much
misused words. 1t means to acquire,
win. obtain. and primarily 1t signifies
the putting forth of effort to nttaln
something. Consequently 1t IS not only
superfluous, but incorrect, to speak Of
Il man rs getting drowned" or "get-
ing Sick" and you may unfortunately
have cold" but 1t Is impossible that
you have got cold" At this mo-
ment no exceptions occur to the writer
- the rule that got should never be
nsed In connection with have, which
alone sufficiently expresses possession.
Say II have the picture" not ~ have
got the picture" The dog has II
broken leg" not "The dog has got n
broken leg"
The irregular verbs lay and lie are
frequently COMPOUNDED. Lay IS an ac-
tive or transltive verb, and lie Is pas
sivc or intransitve. We lay things
down or have laid them down, but we
and things lie at rest. You lie down,
Lave lain down. will lie down ar are
lying down; she lay down We crGay
ami is going to lie down this afternoon.
i frequent error Is TO confound the
past lenses Of these verbs. One should
say. MARY laid the book on the table
nnd lay down herself" but the book
lies on the table.
