addressed to her personally in which
he had asked her to elope with him,
and she fearful that her clandestine
love would be discovered had followed
out his instructions.
His plans for the getting rid Of her
husband and for her subsequent mar
riage to him had been carefully nursed
by her. She wanted pretty clothes and
Stackpole had sent her money with
which to buy them.
She had selected her wedding clothes
to be used at the ceremony following
her husbands death and had made all
the preparations for the wedding.
Then Stackpole had returned and she
had hurried to meet him.
"He sent for me to go to his room
and I went" she testified.
IT went there the first day and again
on the second. Then he insisted that
again yield to him and refused.
"Taueht Me to Drink"
"He taught me to drink and coaxed
me till drank as much wine as could
stand. Then he would kiss me and
finally got me to drink whisky with
the wine till didn't know what I was
doing.
HE took me to Elysian park and to
the beaches. With him I went to the

"The drinking did not seem so bad
to me after that and I did not really
appreciate our criminal love, for he
swore to marry me as soon as he killed
my husband.
''IIe came to the house and we played
cards, he brought liquor there and
finally he told me that he would kill
my husband that night and he bade me
be ready to do my part.
Somehow began to turn then; He
had killed my love for him with his
brutal manners.
Piles Her With Morphine
"He had gotten to give he morphine
when l attempted to argue with him
and was very weak.
"On the night of the murder he
played pool with my husband before
leaving the house. He shook hands
with my husband and at that moment
he was repulsive to me. but the look
In his eyes told me that to tell would
mean death. That is why lied at the
coroner's inquest why l told falsehood
after falsehood as he had schooled me
to tell, because feared for my life
and when he was arrested and Jailed I
told the truth and that is what I am
telling now.

and turned out the light and my hus-
band asked me II l had locked up,

I had left 1t open for the coming OF
the murderer.
The Last Kiss
"Then I went back. My husband was

Just as he had said ever since our mar

Pensacola, Fla, March 1.-(Special) Who shalf- occupy the position of Street Superintendent of Pensacola took on a new phase today, when the present incumbent, J. E. Long, whom the Council had ordered removed by the Board of Works, secured an in- junction against the members of the board restraining them from carrying out the orders of the Council. This came unexpectedly and just few min utes prior to a special meeting of the board when the question was to have been considered and put an effeetual stop to any proceeding looking towards the removal of the present incumbent
 Some months ago. during the time that yellow fever existed. Charles H. Gingles. at that time superintendent, obtained indefinite leave from his du- ties and left the city. Later he was called upon to return but did not do so. The. board then ordered that he be removed, and J. E. Long &as elect ed in his stead Later, when he re- turned, Mir. Gingles wanted his job back, but the board refused to con- sider this matter. He then went be- fore the Council, and the latter body decided that he had been illegally re- moved and ordered that the Board of works reinstate him immediately, re- moving the new man.

Fight Against Northrup.

A fight, which is being viewed with interest by Pensacolians, as well as persons all over the State, is now be- ing made against the reappofntment to offlce of Postmaster W. H. Northup. The present incumbent has been en- dorsed by the Republicans of the State for the position and has strong backing elsewhere. which will have It's weight with the President, but those who are endeavoring to defeat him have begun an organized fight and are making 1t exceedingly interesting for the post master. Those who are endeavoring to defeat tho reappointment Of Captain Northrup do not ask for the appoint ment of any particular person, and are only requesting of the President that he do not appoint the present post master. The situation Is peculiar. In that the Democrats are taking as active a part in 1t as the Republicans, and recently The Daily Journal, in a lengthy editorial, dwelt upon the nn- fitness for the position of Captain Northup.
