White Wife Fights to Save
Life of Her Yellow Husband

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-"My husband
must not die In the electric chair.
He must not. He is innocent.
will fight to the end to save him"
Such is the frantic cry of Mrs.
Mary Charles of this city.
Her husband is Wary Charles,
Chinaman. In the criminal
courts of Boston, number of his
countrymen, one after another,
arose and gave evidence pointing
to him as one of the five Chinese
hatchetmen who "shot up" China
town last summer, killing four
men. The jury called Charles
guilty. Judge Brown says he
must die on Oct. IT.
But Mrs. Charles says NO.
"The men who testified against
him were paid to do So" she cries.
"They were paid by the men who
have been after my husband for 20
years. Now they have got him-by
perjury.
"They were after my husband
because he was honest-because as
government interpreter he spoke
die him. They hated him, so they
are going to get him killed.
-Four good men testified that
my husband was out of the city
at the time the shooting occurred,
yet the jury believed those per-
jurers.
"If the state of Massachusetts
sends my husband to the chair, the
state will commit murder"
Charles has lived in this country
many years. He has two sons one
a jewe1er in New York, the other
Spanish war veteran, and now a
member of the New York police
force.
The Hip Sing Tong, of which
Charles is a member, subscribed
$40, 600 for a defense fund for him
and the four men condemned with
him. The Army and Navy Union of
New York, of which Charles son is
a member, and many men around
the country, some of them in gov
eminent positions, are working in
his behalf.
But the main fight is that of
Charles white wife. She is fighting
in the newspapers and the courts.
If all else fails, she will appeal to
the governor.
The shooting which brought
Charles arrest came as the climax
of a bitter rivalry between the
Hip Sing Tong, Charles tong, and
the On Leong Tong. Five men
Min Sing, HON Woon, Joe Guey
Leong Gong and Wary Charles
were arrested. tried and convicted

Tacoma theater last night. Dus-

who had become sad and down.
cast. A new sail was manufac-
tured out of the tent, and about
10 o'clock, the little sloop sailed
out before the wind.
She made quick passage. find
ing abundance of open water. 1t
was certainly easier to get away
from the pole than to get to it.
But Hatteras knew nothing
that was passing around him. He
lay full length in the boat, per-
fectly silent, with lifeless eye and
folded arms, with Duke at his
feet. Clawbonny frequently adj
dressed him, but could get no re-
ply.
On the 18th they sighted Alta
mont harbor, but as the sea was
open all along the coast, they de-
termined to go round to Victoria
bay by water, instead of crossing
New America in the sledge.
The voyage was easy and rapid.
In week they accompanied what
had taken fortnight in the
sledge, and on the 23d they cast
anchor in Victoria bay.
AS soon as the sloop was
made fast, they all fastened to
FIT. Providence. But what a
scene of devastation met their
eyes! Doctors house, stores, pow
der magazine, Notifications, all
had melted away, and the provi-
sions had been ransacked by de-
vouring animals.
The navigators had almost
come to the end of their supplies,
and had been reckoning on re-
plenishing their stores at FIT.
Providence. The impossibility of
wintering there now was evident,
and they decided to get to Baffins
bay by the shortest route.
I'VE have no alternative" said
Clawbonny. "Baffins bay is not
more than 600 miles distant. We
can sail as long as there is water
enough under our sloop, and get
to Jones sound, and then on to
the Danish settlements.
YES" said Altamont; "let us
collect what food remains, and be
off at once"
After a thorough search, few
cases of pemmican were found
scattered here and there. and two
barrels of preserved meat, alto
gether enough for six weeks, and
good supply of powder. 1t was
soon collected and brought on
board, and the remainder of the
day was employed in calking the
sloop and putting her in good
trim.
Next morning they put out once
more to sea. The voyage present
ed no great difficulties, the drift
ice being easily avoided; but still
the doctor thought 1t advisable,
in case of possible delays, to limit
the rations to one-half. This was
no great hardship, as there was
not much work for anyone to do,
and all were in perfect health.
Besides, they found little
shooting, and brought down
ducks, and geese, and guillemo OTIS,
or sea turtledoves. Water they
were able to supply themselves
with in abundance, from the
fresh water icebergs they con-
stantly fell in with, as they kept
near the coast, not daring to ven-
ture out in the open sea in so frail
a bark.
At that time of the year, the
thermometer was already con-
stantly below breezing point. The
frequent rains changed to snow,
and the weather became gloomy.
Each day the sun dipped lower
below the horizon, and on the
30th, for a few minutes, he was
out of sight altogether.

However, the little sloop sailed
steadily on without stopping an
instant. They knew what ia
tigues and obstacles a land jour
ney involved. II they should be
forced to adopt 1t, and no time
was to be lost, for soon the open
water would harden to firm
ground. Already the young ice
had begun to form. In these high
ATTITUDES there is neither spring
nor autumn; winter follows close
on the heels of summer.
On the 31st the first stars glim-
mered overhead, and from that
time forwards there was continu-
al fog, which considerably imped-
ed navigation.
The doctor became very uneasy
Fat these multiplied indications of
approaching winter. He knew the
difficulties Sir John Ross had to
contend with after he left his
ship to try and reach Baffins bay,
and how, after all, he was COM
PEELED to return and pass a fourth
winter on board. 1t was bad
enough with shelter and food and
fuel, but If any such calamity be-
fell the survivors of the Forward,
If they were obliged to stop or re-
turn, they were lost.
The doctor said nothing of his
anxieties to his companions, but
only urged them to get as far east
as possible.
At last, after 80 days tolerably
quick sailing, and after battling
for As hours against the increas-
ing drift ice, and risking the frail
sloop hundred times, the naviga-
tors saw themselves block in fon
all sides. Further progress was
impossible, for the sea was fro
zen in every direction, and . the
thermometer was only 10 degrees
above zero. Ueut
Altamont made reckoning
with scrupulous precision, and
found they were in II degrees Is
minutes latitude and So degrees 2
minutes longitude. Au5.5=
This is our exact position
then" said the doctor. 1--WE are
in South Lincoln, just at Cape
Eden. and are entering Jones
sound. With little more good
luck we should have found open
water right to Baffins bay. But
we must not grumble. If my poor
Hatteras had found as navigable
a sea at first, he would have soon
reached the pole. His men would
not have deserted him, and his
brain would not have given way
under the pressure of terrible
trial"
81 suppose, them" said Alta
mont, "our only course is to leave
the sloop, and go by sledge to the
east coast of Lincoln.
The rest agreed.
The little vessel was unloaded
and the sledge put together again.
