Invites Shame To Save Friend.

s Chicago, April 24-Neither Balzac
nor Dickens ever wove more dra-
matte story than the one just barred
by the confession of Mrs. James
Schmidst, of ST. Louis.
Voluntarily she brands herself with
the Scarlet Letter to save from a life
in prison Dr. Haldane Clemenson.
Convicted of poisoning his wife,
Nora, in Chicago two years ago, the
Doctor fought hard to prove his in
nocence. Everything was against
him, and only Thursday the court of
last appeal affirmed the sentence of
life imprisonment.
At any time during his trial Of the
late DIR. C1emenson could have proven
an alibi, for Mrs Schmidt's avowal
makes it plain that he was with her
the whole of the night the murder
was done, but he preferred to suffer
the penalty for a deed he did not
commit rather than to drag into dis
grace the woman who could prove
him innocent.

stripiinq Denied Pardon Ey Governor
/. Brown.

Atlanta, Ca, April 24.-In denying
the application for pardon filed by
Thomas Edgar Stripping, former pc
lice chief of Danville, Va, under SEN
tenee of life Imprisonment for the
murder of William ]. Cornett, in
review of the case made public, Gov
ernor Brown excoriates the ''unwfit,
ten law" which Stripping plead in
justification of his act, as euphem
ism, presenting, when unmasked,
sethe hideous feature of anarchy"
zone of the most dangerous evils,
menacing our institutions is laWless-
ness, declares the Governor. The
mob executing in wild disorder its
victim and the individual wreaking
his own revenge for wrongs real or
imaginary, the man or interest treat
ing with contempt the laws of the
land and trusting to gold or 'influ-
ence, FOR safety, are striking mani
festations of this spirit of Iawless-
ness"
While expressing profound sympa-
thy for Stripling's family and high
respect for the impulses which
prompted his friends to apply for a
pardon for him, Governor Brown says
that sympathy and personal friend
ship have no right to supplant an
oath-bound duty to execute the laws
of Georgia.
STRIPPING Makes No Comment.

fined in the county jail here awaiting

nett. was informed that the Governor
had declined to approve the recon
mendation of pardon by the prison
commission. STRIPPING displayed ns
emotion and when asked If he hats
nv comment, merely replied:

Mid-ocean Grave For Maine Wreck.

Havana, April 24.-The wreck of
the old battleship Maine, which is
now being raised from the harbor
here, will probably be taken out in
deep water and sunk in midocean.
This disposition of the old hulk was
indicated in a statement of the pro-
gress of the work of raising the
Maine given out by Secretary of War
Dickinson. The statement was as
follows:
"Thc driving of the steel sheet
piling of the cofferdam has been com
pIeted, and the filling of the Golfer
dam with dredged material is in pro-
gress and may be completed during
the coming month AS soon as pos
sible after the filling in is completed
and has became reasonably compact,
the unwatering of the cofferdam will
begin, probably next month, by pump
ing out the inclosed area. This will
proceed slowly, in order that the fill
ing in the cylinders may consolidate
and the outside pressure be exerted
gradually.
.'rhe level of the water will be
lowered by successive stages. AS
the decks are uncovered search will
be made for bodies, personal effects,
stores, ETC. Everything of that char
acter will be preserved for proper dis
position. No positive plans for the
removal of the wreck have as yet
been determined upon. Tt is probable
hat the wreck, after being stripped
all parts of value, will be sunk ir
'eep water"

Mrs cudahy Will Take Steps to Sc
cure the Custody of Four Little
Ones.
Los Angeles, April 24.-Mrs. Jack
Cudahy. who has been here visiting
her four children, will leave for Kan
sas City probably today to ask the
court in that city to give her the
custody of her little ones. She says
she can no longer live without
them, and if her husband is willing
to act properly she will become re
conciled to him.
For the first time she discussed
some of the hitherto unexplained
phases of the sensational episode i'll
Kansas City a year ago which made
her one of the most talked-of wo,
men in the country-the attack upon
Jere Lillis by Jack Cudahy and the
subsequent Cudahy divorce. Mrs.
Cudahy declares that there is a
popular misconception of the affair
in which she was the central figure,
and because of this she consented to
speak.
Mrs Cudahy also declared that the
plan under which she and her chill
dren have lived apart is a failure,
both from her point of view and
theirs.
Mrs Cudahy told her version of
the famous story while on the sands
at Loug Beach with her four children
playing near by.
It was an interview punnctuated
with childish Interruptions from the
little Cudahys, laughing, soft-voiced
replies from their mother, and now
and then tear and tremb1e of the
voice as she talked of things near
her heart.
Mrs. Cudahy spoke frankly of the
agreement she entered into with
Michael Cudahy, the millionaire faith
er Of her husband, who has since
died, by the terms of which she Sc
cured an annuity and gave the care
of her children into the hands of the
packers family.
