DEATH CHAIR.

Auburn, n. Y, August Mrs. Mary
Farmer, the condemned murderess of
Mrs. Sarah Brennan of Brownsville.
is under sentence to die in the cleo
trio chair at the State prison here next
week, but steps taken by her counsel
looking to another trial will serve to
prevent the sentence being carried
out at the present time. The prevail
ing impression is that the sentence
ultimately will be committed to one
of life Imprisonment. The woman
herself has displayed little emotion
since her conviction and appears to
be Indifferent TO her fate.
Mrs. Farmers crime was one of the
most fiendish in the criminal annals
Of Northern New York. Her victim.
who was 50 years old was her neigh
Dor and intimate friend and the mo-
tive was to gain possession of the
Brennan home, deeds of which Mrs.
Farmer had forged Mrs. Brennan
was hacked to pieces and her body
stuffed in a trunk. Mrs. Farmers
husband is also under indictment on
a charge of murder in the first de.

reelected to the legislature from this
district without opposition. an
nounce that MIR. Davis will be can.
didate for speaker of the house of the
! Thirty-first legislature.
Mr. Davis, who served with dis.
tinction and made many friends in
/ the last legislature. is only 81 years
Of age, and was reared on farm in
/ Walker county. coming of very fine
parentage. His father was a mem.
Der of the Twenty-second leg

graduated at Baylor university.
Waco; attended the university law
school at Austin and took special
work in political economy and history
at the University of Chicago; was ad-
mitted TO the bar in Grimes county in
1903; was principal of the High School
at Bryan for two years, and has prac.
ticed law successfully at Bryan for
the last four years. AS stated. he was
member Of the legislature from
Brazos county. and although a new
member. soon took front rank among
the leading members of that body.
Mr.. Davis was a warm supporter of
Senator Bailey during the investiga.
ton, but his friends say he will not
make the race on this issue. and that
If elected speaker every member will
get square deal, as he is a broad
minded man and free from prejudice
or spite. All who know Representa-
tive Davis agree that he is a high

tleman and If successful in his candi-
dacy for speaker he will administer
the duties of the position with credit

With ability, energy, courage and a
tact for making friends. there is every
reason to expect for him a great ca.

to which he aspires is one that offers
him a wide field for the exercise of
his talents in serving the public and
in winning honor and increased in
fluence for himself. The people of
Bryan and of Brazos county are proud
of Wilbur c. Davis and will feel hon
ored in his promotion.
