CONDEMNED WOMAN
CALLED A BAD ONE
Countrywomen of Mrs. Ma
politana Are Willing to
See Her Executed.

Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. July 11.--Hun-
dreds of thousands OF sympathetic and
perhaps iii informed women OF the
United States are vitality interested in
the case OF Mrs. Angelina Napolitana,
who Is to die on the gallows for the
murder of her husband, Pietro, one
month after she becomes mother
The execution was postponed until af-
the stork's visit.
Regardless of anything save that
she is a woman and about to become
a mother, the women of the United
States demand that Angelina Napoli-
tana shall not hang.
Thus the warm hearted, emotional
women of the United States are delug-
ing Canadian authorities with petitions
for the pardon or Communication of the
sentence OF Mrs. Napolitana, while the
colder women Of Canada seem to be
quite content to let Mrs. Napolitana
hang.
Makes White Slave Charge.
Mrs Napolitana accuses her hus-
band OF trying to induce her to become
a white slave for financial gain. She
killed him, she says, because he SOU
ght to morally enslave her. For this
she is being lauded as noble wom-
an" and Napolitana is being called IAN
inhuman monster"
While 1t is true that at her trail
Mrs. Napolitana's attorney did urge
that Napolitana had tried to induce his
wife to become a moral outcast, and
while Mrs. Napolitana herself testified
at her troal that Napolitana had broa-
ched the subject to her, there is album
dant circumstantial evidence which
would tend to diminish the weight of
this direct evidence.
When she was Rrst arrested and at
her preliminary hearing when she did
not have an attorney, Mrs. Napolitana
did not mention the white slave" fea-
ture Of the case.
Investigation reveals that Pietro Ma
politana was not bad man. In his
stupid peasant way he seems to have
been a average good father to his CHI
dren and an average good husband to
his wife.
italians Call Her Wicked.
His countrymen, Of whom there are
some 5000 in this town Of $4,000. in
sist that he was very good man and
that Mrs. Napolitana is a very wicked
woman. Her countrymen will not have
anything to do with her. Contrary to
their almost invariable custom, they
will not subscribe a cent toward her
support or defense. Yet it is the Ital-
ian custom to come forward very lib
orally when one of their countrymen
or women find themselves at odds with
the law.
The Italians hold that she slew her
husband while he slept and that her
only reason for so doing was that she
hated him and preferred another Ital'
ian, Nicola Nish, to him.
