letter from Mayor Gaynor to Q Brook

Talking with friends since the draft.
Ing Of the McAneny report on subways,

This does not seem at all clear In
view OF the fact that the condition up
on which the b. II. I. gets entrance In
TO Manhattan as far north as fltty-
ninth street under the McAneny report.
Is a nve-cent fare upon all their els-
waited lines to Coney Island.
Comptroller Prenlersast and Presi-
dent Mitchell of the Board of Aldermen
have advocated the c!ty's construction
of an Independent subway both before
and after their election, and they nave
also favored the municipal operation IF
THE LOCAL COMPANIES DID NOT

This position OF tho Comptroller and
Mr.. Mitchell represents the spirit OF the

be content.
THAT the passengers brought over TO

lines should rave a line through Man

the arrangement proposed Is that only

TO DIE FOR HORRIBLE CRIME
Three Women Murdered, One OF
Whom Was His Wife-case
Long in Court.

Savannah, Ca, Dec. 20.-Only a re
spite from Governor Slaton can save
from the gallows ]. C. Hunter, the
triple murderer whose fight for life
has been the most remarkable in the
criminal annals of Chatham county.
For nearly two years Hunter has been
confined in the Savannah jail while
eminent legal talent has worked to
have the verdict of death set aside.
Three times he has been granted a
respite when almost ready to mount
the gallows. Meanwhile the case was
carried to the supreme court of Geor-
gia, which body by unanimous vote
refused to interfere with the verdict
of the trial ocurt. Hope that Governor
Slaton might grant respite is now
practically abandoned, and 1t is gen.
orally believed that the condemned
man will be executed day after to-
morrow.
Hunters crime was the murder of
three women in a house on Perry
street in this city on December 10,
1909. One of the victims was his wife.
from whom he was separated The
other victims of the mans jealous fury
we're Mrs. Eliza Gribble, 70 years old
and her daughter, Mrs. Carrie Oh
lander. The three women were liter
ally hacked to pieces with an axe.
A peculiar feature of the case was
the general assumption that the crime
was that of a negro assailant. Follow
ing the statement of neighbors that a
negro was seen to leave the house oc-
cupied by Mrs. Gribble and her daugh-
ter, where Mrs. Hunter was living
temporarily, the police began a round
up of negro suspects, Within twenty
four hours $50 negroes were taken
into custody
Hunter, the husband of one of the
victims, was arrested few days after
the crime. At midnight he was taken
to the morgue to look upon the dead
face of his wife. He was asked if
he desired to kiss her, and did so
Throughout the terrible ordeal ha
showed no signs Of fear or emotion
other than sobbiEg
hunters tfial resulted in verdict
OF guilty and sentence of death.
Ihep began the long legal battle to-
save the life of the condemned man.
In February, 1910, Bingham Bryan, a
negro, made his entry into the famous
case, with the result that public opin-
ion as to Hunters guilt was consider.
