MRS, PATTERSON IS
MADE OLD IN DAY
Question as to Whether Iury
Would Hang Her Breaks
Her Spirit.
(Nationa1 News Association


DENVER. Col, Nov. 21.-Beautiful
winsome Gertrude Gibson Patterson,
on trial for the murder of her husband,
Charles A. Patterson, of Chicago, has
been made an old woman in a day.
Haggard and drawn was her face,
tear-stained and sleepless her eyes,
and even her great head of hair, al
ways SO carefully dressed, showed a
bit of carelessness or haste. as she
came into court today for the second
day of her trail.
The demand for her life as punish
ment for her crime is the blow which
has broken down the high spirited
little woman. When Prosecutor Ben
son asked the first talesman who was
examined today whether he objected
tot sentencing a woman to death, the
prisoner fairly shook with fear and
emotion. This never ended until the
question of the prosecutor. who hard,
cold, emotionless demanded of each
juror whether he would vote to hang
woman, has torn the nerves of Mrs.
Patterson fairly to shreds.
One reply seemed even a harder
blow to the woman.
We'll we let women vote here !;
they are our equals in almost every
thing. They ought to be our equals in
murder trials" said the talesman.
The pretty prisoner covered her face
with her hands and sobbed.
The whole courtroom was stirred.

PLANS ABOUT READY
For the New Hawkins Park
and Lake.

That hydraulic engineer Miller, of
New Castle, who has had charge of
the work on the plans for the park to
be built on the Hawkins property. will
submit his plans for consideration by
the directors of the Richmond Lake
and Park company some time the lat
ter part of this week, was the an
nouncement given out Tuesday by
Charles w. Jordan, secretary of the
company Engineer Miller has given
most of his attention recently to the
Richmond project.
1t is thought that the plans as pre-
sented by the New Castle expert will
show fully how the new park is to be
improved. and il they are approved by
the directors, everything will be ready
to begin the construction of the mu-
nicipal play ground. The directors will
meet the first of next week to consid-
er the plans as submitted by Miller. 1t
is not probable that, even if the plans
are accepted, work will be commenced
before next spring.

forty days in Jail or five hours in
which to get out of town, was offered
James Kidwell, an old offender Tues

vantage of the opportunity to shake

he almost forgot his worldly effects,
which the kindly arresting officer had
removed from him Monday and taken
into the office for safe keeping. The
effects were-one pocket knife.
kidwell is a weezened, grayheaded
little follow of apparently sixty years.
On Monday he had been imbibing so
frdequently that the patrolman could
not dodge him. He plead guilty to the
offense of public intoxication when be-
fore the mayor and the mayor after
debating the question decided to give
Kidwell chance to poster some other
city administration. II he was found
in town after O'Clock he was to be
arrested and put in Jail for q hundred

old offenders. They are doing every.
thing they can to break into the bas-
tile, the mayor says, and he declares
that since some are succeeding and
can not be prosecuted for housebreak-

The old offenders are not going to

through the stole veil of his indiffer-

OF religion.
Young Reattie, who has been pic

would go to his death with a sneer
on his lips, now prays daily, not once
but several times, in the solitude of
his cell in murderer's row, according
to the Presbyterian minister
The Rev. Mr.. Dennison visited Beat
tie in his cell today as he has done
daily for week or more.
The young man has given himself
up to prayer" said the clergyman to
those who questioned Beattie's SINGER
ity. THE boy prays many times daily.
1t is not right to picture him as indif-
ferent to his fate. What has passed
between us is sacred

He is no longer the dandy who sat
in the prisoners dock beside Judge
Watson when he was on trial for his
life. But two more days of life lie
before the young Virginian.
Reports have become current that
Beattie has confided to the Rev. DR..
Dennison, not in order to gain the re-
spite promised by Gov. Mann, but to
clear his conscience. The clergyman
refuses to answer question on this sub
ject. reiterating his relations with
Beattie are those of spiritual advisor
and sacred cOnfessor.
