on the bed and wept, ,wept for hours, her
very heart being torn by the grief.
For days she thought of nothing but
the shattered romance which had
blighted her life. Thoughts of no one
but her husband filed her mind, and
frequently at night she would awaken
with loud scream of joy and with the
name of the man she loved on her lips.
so, I dreamed he had returned" she
would murmur, and then for hours her
sobs would sound throughout the little
room and her pillow would be soaked
with tears.
Saturday she felt she could stand it
no longer. The little money which had
been left by her husband was expended
and the few dollars he had sent during
the first weeks of their separation had
followed. Without employment of any
kind and with no hope for the future,
the little woman felt she was indeed
alone in the world, with none to cher
ish or no one to love.
Purchases Poison
"I can stand it no longer" she mur-
INJURED to herself Saturday night, and
donning a wrap left the place and with
her last few pennies procured the poi
son with which to end her life.
Returning to her rooming house she
encountered the landlady, Miss Matte
Carson, anu requested SHe De given u
small amount of sugar. Her request
was granted, and a moment later the
girl had hastily carried the bottle con-
tanning the poison to her lips. A roomer
who was passing saw the action and
before the landlady had time to move
had jumped forward and dashed the
bottle from the girls lips.
A physician was hastily summoned
and the young woman was hurried to
the hospital. There she was revived
and told her pitiful tale to the attend
ants.
She promised she would not again
attempt her life. and was given per-
mission to return to her room.
Tender hearted officers who heard her
story have signified their intention of
communicating with her husband, at
present in Modesto, and telling him to
return and care for the woman he wed.
What they intend doing has not been
told the GIRL as it is feared that dis
appointment. in case he does not re-
turn, would break her heart
Meanwhile she lies in her little bed
at the Hill street rooming house. every
breath one of pain, but still suffering
less from the burns than from the
thoughts of the fact that the man she
loved is absent and that she is de-
serted wife.

The stick of dynamite, which was

done and was yesterday turned over
to Capt. Auble at the central police
station.
According to the story told by the
boy, he and several playmates from

sticks of the explosive a short distance
from the school a few days ago.
I'VE took little pinches of 1T and
put 1t in the ground. Then we threw

What happened?" asked his father.

According to Capt Auble, children

to get 1t from them. Some of it is

ORCHARD TO
BESENTENCED
ON BIRTHDAY
SLAYER DESIRES TO BE SENT
TO GALL0WS
Assassin of Former Governor Steunen-
berg of Idaho Refuses to
Change His Plea to
"Not Guilty"

BY Associated Press.
BOISE, Idaho, March 15.-On the
morning of his forty-second birthday,
next week, in the district court of
Canyon county, Harry Orchard, the
self-confessed murderer of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg, who was killed by
the explosion of bomb at the gate
of his residence in Caldwell on the
evening of December 80, 1905, will face
Judge Fremont Wood prepared to hear
the death sentence meted out to him.
Harry Orchard, of his own Volition,
and against the urgent pleadings of
his attorney and others, refused, when
arraigned on March 10, to let his pre-
vious plea of mot guilty" stand. He
also refused to plead to a lesser de-
gree of murder than first degree. He
said:
II am guilty and am ready to take
the punishment. / have told the truth.
| understand fully what must be the
consequences"
Among some expressions are made
that they believe Orchard has been
guaranteed immunity of some sort.
This Is denied by those in authority
and by Orchard himself. Those who
have been in close communication with
Orchard, prison authorities and those
who have added spiritual comfort to
the man, express the opinion that after
being sentenced, should an effort be
made to commute his sentence or par
don him, Orchard will refuse to ac-
cept it.
1t is the general belief that Orchard
expects to die--and that he wishes to
die. and that he wishes to receive the
extreme penalty for his crimes.
Orchard refuses to be interviewed or
to make any statement for publica-
ton. He Is very quiet and spends
much time with his books, the Bible
and works of religious nature. That
he earnestly wishes his confession to
be believed is known, and 1t is thought
that he believes his own punishment
in full for the crime he committed viii
tend to prove the truth of his con-
fession.

OCEAN PARK, March 15.-Harrold
Fabbri, the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs Louis Fabbri of 656 San Juan ave-
nue.. and Kenneth Standefer, the z
year-old son of Mrs. Henry Standefer,
living at 443 Tent City, were struck by
Los Angeles automobile, whose num-
ber and occupants have not been
learned, at the west end of the grand
bridge of the canal section, while re-
turning from Sunday school in the
Tent City about this afternoon.
Fabbri sustained concussion of the
brain. Young Standefer escaped with
severe scalp wound over the left eye
Both were taken to the Office of DR..
Sands in the rear of the Venice Drug
company. There Standefer's wound
was sewed up. 1t was nearly two
hours before Fabbri showed signs of re-
turning consciousness. AT later hour
he was taken to his home and will
probably recover. The Fabbri lad is
quite frai and sustained terrible
shock to his system. which the doctors
fear more than the brain concussion.
How both lads escaped death is little
short of marvellous. The two automo-
biles were approaching the bridge at a
high rate of speed each endeavoring
to beat the other to it. The machine
which struck the two children crowded
the other machine. driven by man
named Morton, from Fifth and Main
streets, Los Angeles, to the rear
The two little boys stepped out of the
avenue into the road just as the autos
came whizzing over the bridge. Be-
hind them came the miniature train
whose track they had just crossed. 1t
was q case of chance with death with
the train behind and the autos in front,
and the boys tried to crowd close be-
tween.
Both were struck by the unknown
machine and hurled a considerable dis
tance, while the auto disappeared at
high rate of speed. Morton pulled up,
hastened with the injured victims to
DIR. Sands office, and then went for the
parents of the two children.

Future of Great System Is in Doubt,

Special TO The Herald.

Special TO The Herald.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The
Hartman railroad system is under fire
of government prosecutors in SO many
instances that the question arises as
to the future of the great combina-
ton built up by the magnate.
In addition to the suit instituted by
the government to dissolve the merger
of western roads, the state railroad
commission of California, using the
data obtained by the interstate COM
merce commission, is prosecuting the
Southern Pacific for giving rebates.
The attacks recently made by Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the great corpora
tions are believed to have a special
significance as regards the Hartman
lines, as charges of combination in re-
straint of trade have been preferred
against the great system that links
the east to the west, and which is con-
ceded to have great political power in
the Pacific coast states.
