LAST RESPITE
FOR ROBERTS
Counsel Will Seek New Evil
denCe to Save Man From
GallOWS
CONDEMNED MAN
PLEASED WITH NEWS

Following the respite of Reese Rob
erts by Governor S. S. Pennewill yes
terday afternoon much comment re-
garding the case was heard on the
street today. The respite for Roberts
was obtained in order to give J. Frank
Ball, his counsel an opportunity to
hunt up new evidence in the case. This
new evidence bearing on the case was
recently obtaind and it will require
some time in which to prepare the
same to be presented TO the Board of
Pardons
Mr.. Ball when asked regarding the
case said it would require some time
in which to prepare the testimony
should such testimony be forthcoming.
Reports affecting the case have been
in circulation and it will necessitate
weeks in which to hunt up such evil
dence as is reported.
On many sides the action of Cover
nor Pennewill in granting a respite
was commended today. IL is under
stood that this is the last time the
Governor will intervene in the case. Il
is known that he received a deluge of
letters requesting him to grant the re-
spite to give a further opportunity TO
| investigate Roberts case and the
Governor took the view that Il the re-
| spite does not show Roberts innocent
no harm will be done and If he should
be shown innocent the greatest good
would be done.
The scaffold at the Workhouse upon
which Roberts was to have been
/ hanged this afternoon, was taken down
this morning and again slowed away
When Roberts was told by Warden
| Crawford yesterday afternoon that his
execution had again been postponed
the prisoner was glad. He showed how
! pleased he was, but said very little
and in fact has had little to say a
any time since his Incarceration. HI
knew that an application had beei
made for a respite for him and he ha,
little hope that something would b
done.
Nobody knows what agony I hav
been suffering" he said to Mr. Craw
ford.
Perhaps the most pleased man ii
Wilmington when the news of the re
spite was received here was ]. Franl
Ball. counsel for Roberts, who ha
worked hard for respite. He went q
the Workhouse last evening and per
sonally told Roberts Of the respite al
though the latter had heard Of it ear
lier in the day.
At a meeting Of John W. Laytol
Lodge, No Is, A. F. and A. NJ. las
night, resolutions were unanimousl
adopted. following an address by tn
Rev. Dr. Albert Price. thanking Gov
ernor Pennewill for his action il
granting Roberts a respite and ais
thanking J. Frank Ball for the "man
~ effort he has made 10 save the lif
OF one believed to be innocent of tn
} crimes he is accused Of"

PEACE NOT
NEAR In MEXICO
Rebel Leaders Believe That
President Diaz Will
Fight
TO MARCH ON THE CITY
WITH ARMY OF 10000
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
Ell PASO, Texas, May 12-A-
though Francisco Madero and his
newly-organized Cabinet met in a
conference today during which the
next step towards bringing peace was
discussed. no announcement was vol
unteered by the provisional president
OF Mexico.
Several members of his Cabinet de-
clared this attitude had been adopted,
because, while the insurgents leaders
sincerely desire peace. they do not
want the impression 20 get abroad,
that they will accept any humilitating
terms.
It is pointed out that the capture
OF Juarez has put the rebels I'm a po-
sition to demand from President
Diaz and his Government much more
than could have been demanded n
week ago.
Say Diaz VIII Fight.
Few Of the insurgent leaders now
believe that Diaz will discuss peace.
They think he will elect to fight the
battle out to the end and that it will
be necessary for the rebels to cap
ture Mexico City before the revolu-
tion will end. SO strong is this feel
ing that a large part Of the confer
ences between the insurgent chief
tains at Juarez is being devoted to
discussion of the most feasible way
of approaching the national capital
and the easiest way to capture it.
10000 TO March on City.
The insurgent leaders expect 10
have upwards of 10000 troops by the
time the Mexico City march is under
way.
Meanwhile General Orozco has
completed his plans for engaging the
relief forces of Colonel Rabago and
I General Luque. who are marching
against Juarez. Orozco expects to
experience no difficulty in disposing
/ of these forces.

The Thirty seventh congress opened
very quietly under the "REMINISCENCES
The Hon. Gaiusha A. throw WAS tht.
speaker of the house. IN the senate
Charles Sumner Of Massachusetts was
BY all odds the greatest figure. Many
Of the giants Of Tie senate had gone
out ut the close of the iast congress
to join the Confederacy. Summer had
engaged in many word battle with

great debater and a man of power.
His deliberations on the Mason-Slideh
case had great influence in the final
solution of the problem involved by
this violation OF the rights Of neutrals.
Sumner was an abolitionist. Just
at this period the slave question was
uppermost because the friends of ne

to declare itself. 1t was held by the
abolitionists that the negroes whowere
found in southern territory which was
captured by Federal armies should be
SET free
The question of the nation finances
