PLEA FOR MERCY

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 1S.-On the
plea that he had ben reared In a god
less community, seventy-ive citizens
of Breathitt county, Ky, have sent
letters and petitions TO Gov. Patter-
son, of Tennessee, pleading for COM
mutation of the death sentence of Ed
Turner, formerly of Breathitt county,
who has been sentenced to hang on
February II for the murder of his
wife last April. The plea of the pc
tItioners is that Turner was brought
up in a goddess community and that
he never had an opportunity to know
the right from. the wrong They point
out that his parents died on the same
night. when he was very young, and
that he had lived about as best he
could. They claim the wickedness OF
his wife unbalanced his mind and that
he killed her not because he hated
her. but because he loved her.

Ostracized and Stunned, She
is Friendless and Penniless
in Old Home.
Feels Sting Most For Her Two
Little Children,
CANNOT FIND EMPLOYMENT


Salt Lake City, Feb. 1S.-Utterly
shorn of all her old-time friendship.
|ostracised and stunned, with the
gaunt wolf stalking at her door, Mrs.
Anna NJ. Bradley is paying the bitter
price. Womankind rejoieed when a
Washington jury justified her killing
of Arthur Brown, former senator and
father of her two illegitimate chill
dren. But in the hour of her greatest
need womankind has turned a cold
shoulder toward her.
Today she is living in the most ex-
IRENE poverty in two miserable rooms
in shed like rear kitchen in one
of the poorest quarters of the city.
The walls are thin and the winter
wind sweeps through the cracks. Only
a little kitchen stove warns them.
Fuel for this the thinly clad children
gather where they may. Every lump
of coal is a treasure to be guardeS
carefully.
Hunger is frequent visitor. Heart
hunger is constant lodger. The wo-
men who once delighted to honor this
woman, whose brilliancy and talent
were the envy of them all, now shun
her as a pestilence. The neighbors
warn their children not to play vita
her little sons.
1t is the latter which gnaws deepest
into the aching heart. That she is
shut into world composed of her
self and her children she does not
otherwise regret.
Long ago she came to realize the
weight of the stain upon her name.
She has walked miles through the
streets in search of employment, per-
sonally replying to want ads" She
has answered scores of others. In
variably the result is the same. TheS
do not say ii is because she is Mrs.
Bradley they do not want her.
But she knows.

WHAT ONE DAY DID
FOR JOHN BULGBR,
THE BOOTLBGGBR

One days freedom was too MUCH
for John Bulger, and last night he
fiourished a pistol in the grocery and
saloon of Lee Hite, Tenth and Hus-
bands streets, and had things going
his way until placed under arrest by
Patrolmen Doyle and Owen. Bulger
has been in jail on a charge of boot
Logging, but yesterday he took the
debtors insolvent oath and was re-
leased. In the afternoon he took on
too much whisky and went to Lee
Hite's grocery and fought Sam Ed
wards, colored brakeman for the
Illinois Central. In the fight he
knocked Edwards down and kicked
him in the face, II Is said.
Hurrying off TO prevent arrest he
did not appear again untf1 last night
at 10 o'clock, when he reentered the
grocery. II Is alleged he pulled pls-
tol and pointed IT at the porter. Doc
Blue. colored, and then when the
clerk, Columbus Helmentoler, went
to answer the telephone. Bulger
thought he was telephoning for the
police and pulled the pistol on him
and refused to allow the clerk to an
swer the phone. Bulger then went In
front of the grocery and met Emma
Martin, colored. Seeing Patrolmen
Doyle and Owen approaching BulgeI
gave the pistol to Emma and told hei
to hide II. The cases against Bulgel

CITY WHARF RENT
MAY BE INCREASED
TO PAY EXPENSES
Since County and State Assess
Property of City at High
Valuation.
Regulations May Be Changed
By General Council.
TWO HUNDRED FEET OPEN WAY

Before the special wharf committee
of the general council reports, 1t is
probable that a complete revision OF
the wharf ordinance will be made,
changing wharf charges, as well as
reapportloning the space. 1t is cert
tain, too, that at least 300 feet will
be left open for boats to reach the
bank with their freight.
One reason for the proposed change
in wharf charges, is the ruling of the
court of appeals, making the wharf
property taxable for county and state
purposes. This case has been APP
,pealed again, but II the assessment
against the city of $4,000 stands,
with back taxes due, the city will find
the wharf a losing proposition. At
present the charges for wharf space
are 81 per front foot annually, the
same charge being made to coal COM
panies for the river front privilege.
The Bette Owen. which occupies,
or is supposed to occupy, $50 feet,
commencing at Kentucky avenue and
extending south, does not pay any
wharfage. The Paducah Wharfboat
company occupies space of 1928 feet,
while there are 1855 II feet north of
that for coaling purposes.
The Paducah Wharfboat company
does not use all the wharfboat space
and the Fowler lines are asking for
200 feet for a wharfboat for their own
private use. The West Kentucky
Coal company also asks for more
room. while thedry docks have to be
considered, and the councilmen have
in mind the 200 feet free wharf space
The &C feet now allotted is not avail
able. because the space is encroached
upon and boats cannot get to the bank
except by wriggling in.
Another trouble will be remedied
in the rearrangement. When the river
reaches a stage of about 2S feet, ii is
impossible to land on the bank. and
the new regulation probably will pro-
vide that when such a stage is reached
the wharfboat companies shall allow
boats to cross the wharfboats to the
bank with their freight. This only
happens about twice year and then
for short periods.
