Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, February 1. (SpeciaD.-Liv-
erpool did not respond to our advance OF
Yesterday, which was disappointment
70 the local buyers, who had expected the
foreign. markets to follow. Apparently
Manch Ter and Liverpool have all the
cotton III hand for their present wants.
Our market slowly declined about 6
points and then halted all day. The
movement continues on larger scale;
il will probably gain over $4,000 this week
as compared with last year. On the other
hand. the southern mills are reported to
be buying more freely, despite the lower
quotations for yarns. and the improve
ment in the stock market has brougnr
some buying orders to cover short sales
made last week. October was in demand
because of the dry weather in Texas,
with the Atlantic states selling on the
advance.
We think the local short interest has
been reduced to small proportions this
week. March seemed to be for sale all
day; in fact. more than the other months.

find that his wife had planned a sur
prise dinner on the anniversary of
his seth birthday. Mr.. Taylor did
not seem to realize that such a nice
surprise had been planned for him
until a host of his relatives and
friends began to stop to take din
ner with him.
Every one enjoyed the dinner
and the entire day immensely, but
none enjoyed it more than Mr.. Tay-
lo-..
There was an abundance of good
things to eat and all seemed to be
delighted.
After a heartfelt talk by Rev.
Nell and a general love-feast SEES
sion, the crowd was dismissed and
every one departed feeling greatly
benefited, spiritually as well as So
cially. Many If not all will have a
pleasant remembrance of the day
until God calls us to a better home

PUT OFF HANGING WOMAN
ANOTHER LIFE COMING

SaUlt Ste. Marie. Ont, May 10
Angelina Napolitana, who is young,
was to-day sentenced to be hanged
on Aug. for the murder of her
husband.
Several months ago Napolitana in
a jealous rage slashed his wife with
n knife. She was at a hospital for
eight weeks. during which time the
couple apparently became reconcil-
ed. AS it turned out, the woman
was only biding her time for an OPP
portunity to take revenge. 1t came
on Easter morning. While Napoli-
tana was asleep she Drained him
with an axe.
The date of the execution was set
at a distant date because the woman
will soon become mother.

ed in the criminal court of Jeffer-
son county for the murder of little
Alma Kellner. OF course the de-
cision was righteous one, but yet
the sentence seems to have fallen
short of full justice. Vending was
either guilty or innocent. If gull
ty. his life would have been poor
forfeit; if innocent, he should have
been freed. There can be little
doubt. however. that the third-de-
gree, brow-beating manner in which
he was treated while enroute back
to Kentucky, had much to do with
softening his sentence in the eyes
of the trial jury.

MRS. GEO. LYNCH SENT
TO JAIL WITHOUT BAIL
Held to Grand Jury for Murder
of Ambie Buck, Son.
in Law.

After an examining trial that last
ed for six hours at Owensboro, Fri
day, Mrs. George Lynch, charged
with the murder of Ambie Buck,
her son-in-law, was committed TO
the county jail and was denied bail.
She will be incarcerated t1ere till
the May term of court. which con-
venes May 22, when size will be
tried The case WAS one Of the most
eagerly watched that has ever been
in the courts recently.
There were warrants against
George Lynch, Homer Powers and
Hardin Beningfield, charging each
with murder, and when the cases
were called the Commonwealth
elected to try all of the defendants
at the same time.
This was agreeable to the attor-
neys for the defendants and the
trials were entered into at once.
At the conclusion of the evidence
and when all of the attorneys an
nounced that they had rested the
cases for their clients, Judge Owen
prefaced the rulings of the court
with a summary of the evidence
and his opinion of the matter. He
said, in substance, that it was the
province of the examining court to
hold alleged offenders to the grand
jury, in cases where it appeared
that reasonable grounds were found
IN which a conviction could be Sc
cured.
He said that while in his opinion,
the three men that accompanied !
Mrs. Lynch on her trip to the Buck
home had made an honest effort to
dissuade her and to secure posses
sion of the gun, that it also occur
red to him that three men of aver !
age intelligence and ability should |
have been able to prevent the need |
less homicide. He then said that |
he did not think that the three men
were parties to the murder and that |
he would therefore dismiss the |
charge as to them. He then turned |
his remarks to the acts of Mrs. |
Lynch. He said that every bit of |
testimony went to show that the
willing was done premeditatedly and |
with malice aforethought He said
This woman went to the home of |
Buck, with either some real or i'm
wrong, and there shot him
down in cold blood, just as she
would shoot a hog or a dog. l |
dismiss ethe warrants as to the |
three men and order that Mrs. |
Lynch be confined in the county Jail
till the May term of the grand jury,
that she be confined without bond,
as the charge is murder"
