pared for Death on Scatfold.
Seattle, Wash.-Fully cognizant Of
the punishment the law demands for
the crime of murder in the first de
gree, Esther Mitchell declares that
she had rather hang than obtain her
liberty, or even immunity from the
law on the grounds of insanity.
81 am not insane" she insisted
and before shooting my brother |
gave all the possible results of the act
the fullest consideration knew that
| would be arrested and that the ex-
cuse for doing what I did would not
be considered by the court"
Mrs. Creffield is also willing to sub
NIT to whatever punishment may be
In store for her. She. too, declares
that she is perfectly sane, and the
only excuse she offers for her share in
the killing is that she was as justified
in bringing about the death Of Mitchell
as he was in killing her husband.

killed Sunday after making a game
fight. In the Tia Juana arena in the
presence of 1000 spectators, about
one-fifth of whom were from Los An

one of the bulls to rush at him, and
Just as the animal was almost upon
him, he stuck the pole into the ground

Council Of the Russian Empire Accepts

st. Petersburg.-The council of the
empires acceptance without amend
ment of parliament's bill appropriating
81 SOC, O00 for famine relief, came as
a surprise but has occasioned the
greatest jubilation in the camp of the
lower house, as 1t is regarded as vote
OF lack of confidence in the Goremykin
ministry on the part Of the upper
chamber. While many speeches in the
council of the empire really favored
the adoption of the cabinets recon-
mendation, they recognized that 1t
would be a fatal mistake for the coun-
Gil to antagonize the lower house in
the present crisis. Moreover, those
on the inside who were aware that the
negotiations between the government
and the constitutional democrats were
entering the final stage were naturally
influenced by coming events.
