WOMAN KILLED
HER HUSBAND TO
SAVE HIS SOUL
Bridgeport, Conn.,, ~
Saturday, May q, 1911.
Especial from United Press,

New York, May 6-'I killed my hus-
band to save his soul and I am ready
to take whatever punishment man may
mete out to me. I know God does
not blame me- said Mrs. Francis
O'Shaughnessy, wife Of year, when
Coroner HolZhauser held her this af-
ternoon, without bail ON a charge of
murder. She killed her husband,
George O'Shaughnessy, last night, be-
cause he told her he was going to
leave her for another woman. AS she
was being led to the Tombs Mrs.
O'Shaughnessy paused and penciled
an order that her small savings of a
year, money that she had planned
should be used for trip to Ireland
so that her child might be born there,
be paid over to a priest for masses
for the soul of the man she killed.
81 can't say that I am sorry I kill
ed George she told the policeman.
Cal the time. for the last three weeks
1 knew he was going to desert me for
that other woman and I had to think
of the disgrace that he was going to
put on our child not yet born. I
thought first I would kill myself. Then
I thought if I did George would dam
his soul and I didn't want that. So
after he told me he didn't love me
any more I just had to kill him. AS
he lay upon the floor after 1 shot him
I fell on his body and kissed his lips.
Then I gave myself up. I want them
to punish me before my child is
born"

err Of the saloon at 80 State street, has
purchased the former home of the
Calumet Club at Main and Gilbert
streets, opposite the Y. M. c. A. build
ing. The property has a frontage CT
So feet in Main street and depth %
los feet in Gilbert street. There are
two mortgages on the property, one
for 5000 held by William e. Burn
ham, and the other for $1,000 held by
Mcneil, Louis Neuberger,
S. C. Osborne and Frank A. Whitney.
BY the sale and the transfer of the
to Rock, the interests of the
Calumet Club come to an end. The
club which ceased to exist only a short
while ago has nqridated all its bills
and still has sufficient funds to de-
clare dividend among its members.
In celebration of the closing of tine
club and the successful turn in
finances, the club members, most Of
whom are members of the Algonquin
club, are arranging for banquet
themselves to be held at the

tain his intentions in the place. he

have resolved to keep hands off as
long as possible" Sulzer added. I'm
tervention in Mexico would not bene-
fit this country and 1 fail to see any
obligation on our part to pacify the
country south of the Rio Grande.
Intervention would cost thousands
of lives and millions of dollars and
would probably unite the now opposed
factions in Mexico against us in a
guerilla warfare that would keep us in
the field for years.

land he then said that he believed
Intervention inevitable and that it
would take 100000 men to conduct
the American operations. I was told
this by member of the committee
Members of the committee, today,
said that the only basis for the story
was that after Wood had testified
some of the members asked him in
formally about the situation in Mexi-
CO and that he said, if it should be
necessary to intervene, that he be-
iieved it would take 100000 men.
No member Of the committee would
confirm the report that Wood said
that intervention was inevitable and
Wood, himself, fatty denied that

SUFFRACETTES
PARADE DOWN
FIFTH avenue
Especial from United Press.)

New York, May approximately
100000 suffragettes and about 100 per-
fectly behaved men tramped down
Fifth avenue, this afternoon, in pro-
test against the New York Assemblys
refusal to pass the suffrage bill.
According to Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch, high priestess of the cause,
kind yet attempted, will influence
the people to such an extent that the
Legislature will no longer be allowed
to treat with indifference and even
contumely the greatest event of mod
ern times.''
The skies were kind to the skirted
marchers but the crowds that lined
Fifth avenue and flowed into Union
Square, where the speech making was
INDUCED in seemed to be more amused
than impressed by the demonstration.
There were goodnatured jibes for
coarse verbal assaults upon the trou-
sered section of the parade.
Had it not been for the foresight
of the police in displaying an ample
guard it is probable that the ebul-
lient spirits of the onlookers would
have reached the point of actual in
reference.
Many Of the women carried camp
stools on which they sat while wait
ing for the parade to come along. The
various professions in which women
were prominent were classified in the
parade and there were numerous floats
to show that women really are a ne
cessity in this world. The parade was
headed by company of Scotch pipers
and in the forefront were the College
Equal Suffrage league and the Wom-
ans Political Union representatives.
Mrs. Blatch graced this section. Then
came dressmakers, milliners, 1aun-
dresses, hair dressers, artists models
(but not in their working drapery),
actresses, decorators, musicians. news
paperwomen, women farmers from
Mrs. Belmont's cute little dairy and
many other branches of women's
work
Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton and
Miss Annie Peck, famous mountain
climbers, Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gill
man and scores of other notables
were in the lineup.
The biggest banner in evidence bore
this inscription: I'VE Prepare the
Children for the World; Let Us Pre-
pare the World for the Children

He circled far about over the Sound

Especial from United Press

Guild Hall, Va, May 6EThe battle
of the experts was on inn earnest to-
day, when the trial of Mrs. Florence
Dodge. for the alleged murder of Will
liam Heath, was resumed. AZ posi-
lively as the experts produced by the
State swore Heath could not have
killed himself, the doctors called by
Mrs. Dodge's attorneys have sworn he
might have accidentally shot himself
by dropping the revolver on the floor.
The contention that Heath committed
suicide, however. has played no part
in the defense.
The strain of the trial began to show
upon Mrs. Dodge today more than at
any time since it began Last Monday.
She was still cheerful when she en-
tered court but there was a touch III
pallor in her cheeks. 1t was said
