six counts for highway robbery, with
firearms, a crime punishable by death

The victims of the highwaymen were

1t appears that about ten days ago
the gypsies We're hauled into a Nor
folk county magistrates court and
fined for trespassing on property OF
the Virginian railroad. When the
gypsies paid their fines they pulled
from their pockets big rolls OF biiis

the gypsy camp was raided by three
highwaymen who boldly lined up the

and stole one horse.

The most sensational feature OF the

SURPRISE TO LAWYERS

DENVER, COL. Nov. 20.-Easf-
ness men of Denver are willing to
vote as Jurors, for the hanging OF a
woman, If her crime should deserve
the extreme penalty.
They so declared themselves to-day
at the trial of Mrs. Gertrude Gibson
Patterson, charged with the murder
Of her husband. Charles A. Patter-
son, which opened before Judge
Allen In the West Side Criminal Court
this morning.
So general was the declaration by
prospective jurors that they would
act in the case OF woman exactly
as they would In the case of man
under the same circumstances. that
both prosecution and defense were
surprised. and the probability that a
Jury would be finally sworn in to-
morrow increased. although no jurors
were in the box when court adjourn
ed this afternoon.
Man after man declared that he be-
lieved that man and woman should
be equal before the law and nearly
all those who said they had no con-
scientious scruples against capital
punishment added that they would

woman as for the hanging or a man,
II the evidence should justify the
death penalty.

One juror. Michael J. Zeuzies, a
fruit dealer, caused a good deal o.
amusement by his attempts to get
out OF serving. Fvst he said he
had formed an unalterable opinion

the district attorneys objection to the
ltalesman on that account, Zeuzies an
nounced that he would not hang
