SAYS HUBBY ASKED HER
TO LET HIM WE'D ANOTHER.

Mrs. Fannie Powell, 10, pretty and
handsomely gowned, appeared before
Judge Hahn in the First Precinct
Police Court today and told Of her
marital troubles. In a very excited.
high-pitched voice Mrs. Powell said
tina her husband, Charles X. had
neglected to support her for the past
two months, and had found more
pleasure in the company of other
women. She dwelt especially on his at
tentions to q young woman who is m
pIoyed In a local department store, -
whom she says he has become engaged.
She averred tina he has told her ne
no longer cared for her and asked "
she would not deny that they wera
married, so hat he could elope with
the woman with whom he was NV
enamored.
Mrs. Powell stated that last summer
Powell was engaged in managing n
theatrical troupe at the Highlands. and
when the company failed they went to
live at Little Falls. Here" she said,
II worked in a dry goods store for s.
a week, and gave him the money
Powell denied he was counting an
other woman. Mrs. Powell shouted:
He was never true to me in his
life"
1t was with difficulty that Mrs.
Powell was quieted. Powell is at
the present time engaged by a wealthy
resident as chauffeur, and earns s25 a
ween. Mrs. lowell lives with her
mother at 1A North Fifth street.
Judge Hahn ordered Powell to pay

SEARS, CR|NG|NG
IN FEAR, CARRIED
TO DEATH CHAIR
Negro, After Tearing Up Comics.
sion, Pays Laws Penalty
of Double Murder.
Especial TO the Newark Star.

TRENTON. March 16.-John Sears is
dead. The slayer of the little 7 tch
Neck clergyman and his wife was car
ried to his heath In the electric chair
last night by keepers, and almost died
Of fear before the current claimed him.
When 1t did 1t found a hapless, cring-
ing, crying victim, with a confession
of the double murder upon his lips.
Up from the deaf there seemed to
rise the living, human forms of the
Rev. AMI L. Armstrong and Mrs.
Armstrong to haunt Sears during the
last moments. The mulatto prisoner
was tormented day and night by the
fancy that he saw his victims ever be-
fore him. He wrote a confession dur
ing his last hours. barring to the keep
ers the sordid details of his crime, nd
the figures seemed satisfied. They went
away, Sears said. and as soon as they
had one he called for the confession
and tore it TO scraps. Then the figures
returned, Sears seemed to think, and
stayed with him to the end. They were
with him as keepers carried him from
his cell-fear had .,aralyzed his legs
and he closed his eyes that he might
not see them on his way to the chair.
Sears entered the death chamber at
$40 o'clock last night. The prison
chaplain and another clergyman were
present. and as Sears was placed limp
and helpless in the chair the clergy
men persuaded him to pray.
One Shock Kills.
A prayer of feal assembled from the
parted lips as the keepers stood aside,
waiting for Sears to finish before turn
ing on the current. The mask and
other apparatus w adjusted and the
touching of a lever brought the end.
He was pronounced dead when the cur
rent was turned off. six minutes later,
but there vas little doubt that the
first shock had killed him outright.
Although Sears confessed his crime
there was little need for him to do so,
so clearly had 1t been established. The
clergyman and his wife were slain IN
Thanksgiving eve. Sears shot the aged
man to death with a shotgun because
he coveted a diamond ring the clergy
ma wore. Mrs. Armstrong saw the
crime, and with the last ounce of her
feeble strength hurled a paper weight
at the perpetrator. That act cost her
her life, as Sears had not intended to
kill her until she struck him. Then he
became er--ged and fred the contents
Of the shotgun into her breast at close
range.
Sears then sought the ring. but failed
to find 1t. Psnic-stricken, his first
thought was TO establish an abb, 80
he went to New Brunswick and made
himself conspicuous to several &C.
qu~aintances. This done Scar returned
to the farmhouse and told the neigh
bors OF his find. sears's arrest quickly
followed.

DENTIST EXONERATED
FOR PATIENTS DEATH,

No blame is attached today to the
dentist by any of the members OF Miss
Stiehle's family for her death, which
took place yesterday while Miss Stiehle
was having a tooth extracted at the
dental office of Joseph P. P. Knef, 1873
Ferry street.
The dentist says ne examined her
carefully and saw no reason why she
should not TAXI the anaesthetic.
81 have administered the ~anaesthetic
in thousands of cases n nave nevef
had any trouble. The a~naesthetic l
and other dentists administer he
said. us so mild, the duration of the
anaesthetic period so short, that we
never have cause to fear fatal re-
suits. What happened to her might
have happened under any circum-
stances and could not be avoided"
Mrs. Pauline Christie. a sister OF
the dead woman. was with her at the
time, and says that she had recovered
from the anaesthetic when she col.
lapsed and died.
Miss Stiehle was 40 years old. DR..
Mckenzie said that death was due to
shock.

TRIAL Of THIRTY
SIX CAMORR|STs
LIKE IN A DRAMA
With Hand on Heart, One AS
sures Wife Among Specta-
tors He's Innocent.

vITERBO. Italy. March 16.-The
make possible frequent dramatic iuci-
dents, n it was due to this that to-
days session of the trial of the Canon
rists for murder held the lively interest
of the crowd that occupied every avail
able square foot in the old church or
San Francesca.
When court opened the clerk resumed
the reading of the long indictment Of
the thirty-six prisoners, and this took
up the whole forenoon, the monotony
Of the recital, however, being broker
by Interruptions from the prisoners
cage or by others in the room whose
interests were in some manne in
volved.
When the clerk read the passage re-
ferring to the priest, Giro Vitozzi, the
aged prisoner was visibly affected, and
at the words although never con-
demned, Vitozzi morally is a criminal"
he raised his eyes to heaven and MUIR
INJURED:
"I offer my sufferings to relieve souls
in purgatory."
Assures Wife He Ia Innocent.
During the description of the murder
of Gennaro Cuoccolo n his wife
Maria, the Beautiful Sorrentina,'
Mariana de Gennaro, who is charged
with having been one of the actual as
s~assins, rose from his place in the steel
pen greatly agitated. The reading
clerk paused a moment and the pris-
oner, placing his hand over his heart
and addressing his wife. who was
among the spectators, said:
II swear to you 1 am innocent" With
! the words he burst into tears.
On another occasion, de Angels and
Amodeo protested their innocence and
demanded redress for having been
falsely involved by the priest, Vitozzi.
Their arrest was due to a declaration
to the police by the priest and in aid
of Errlcone, the alleged brains OF the
Camorra.
vitozzi Tried to Clear Erricoae.
When Erricone was first arrested VI
tozzi, who is his godfather, went to the
| authorities and with a great show of
secrecy confided to them that he knew
Erricone to be innocent. and that an
| other, one Ascrittore, had committed
the double crime.
AscTlttore was iouhu 70 10 d HeA
Der of the Camorra. n when pressed
he denounced as the authors of the
murders de Angels and Amodeo, both
criminals and then fugitives from JUS
tice,
Would Kick Artist Into Kingdom Come.
Erricone, whose proper name is En-
| rico Alfano, does not take kindly TO
newspaper artists. One of the latter
snapped his picture today as the pris-
oners were being brought into court.
When the bandit chief learned that the
photogr aph was for a paper hostile to
the Camorra. he spat in the face OF
the photographer, and In a rage swore
that h would kick the man Into the
next world" E~rrisone's shackles pre-
vented the execution of this threat.

three hundred Republicans from

Mysteries OF Theology

The fact that there is church
in this country whose members
are considered backsliders if they
vote and are expelled from the
church If they persist "A voting, is
probably news to most Americans.
Yet there is such a church, and
eleven members of that church in
a Colorado town were expelled
last Sunday for exercising the
franchise. The church is one of
the Presbyterian bodies, and its
members are locally known as
..Covenanters."
The reasen for this singular ac-
ton is that the Constitution of the
United States does not mention
God or Christ. Therefore, say
the Covenanters, this is not a
Christian nation; and. therefore no
true Christian may properly take
part in its deliberations. The
reasoning in closely allied to that
which for nearly generation kept
the" Catholic parry" that is, the
men who belived in the temporal
power of the pope, from voting in
Italy.
The trouble with such reasoning
is that, if true. il merely deliveries
the land over to the ungodly who
have no conscientious scruples
about the ballot. 1t worked that
way in Italy: the abstention OF the
papal adherents merely streng-
thened the adherents of the crown
and the plan has been pretty we'll
abandoned in consequence. In
the little Colorodo town the result
was the same; namely. added pow
to the party to which the non-vot
ers would naturally oppose. In
the Colorado town this opposing
party was represented by the IL
uuor dealers and it is an amusing
commentary on theological preju-
dices that the eleven mepbers
who were on Sunday cast from
the fold got into trouble by vot.
