Unfortunate Woman
Prays That President
Will Spare Her Life

One Of the readers of The Times who
sent In a letter on the Lomax case yes
terday asked this question:
why all this discussion about com
mutati ton of the death sentence Of
Matte Lomax before we know how the
woman feels about It? Does she want
her sentence commuted? Perhaps she
would prefer death on the gallows to
life imprisonment. I certainly would.
Before using any more energy in her
behalf, let US find out what she would
like to have done"
In response to this letter, The Times
is today able to present a statement
from Matte Lsomax, declaring very en-
phatically that she would Hike to have
her death sentence commuted to life
Imprisonment. In company with one Of
the woman's lawyers, a representative
of The Times saw her at the District
Jail today. To him she said:
II appreciate, more than words can
express, the efforts being made by The
Washington Times and the men and
women Of the District who are trying
to induce President Taft to stop my
execution. Most certainly l want the
sentence commuted. / appreciate every
thing that Is being done, both by white
people and by people of my own race,
and J hope and pray President TAFT
will be moved to spare me-"
Attorneys for the condemned woman
have informed her almost daily of the
events in the movement for commuta-
ton of her sentence, and she has shown
the keenest interest in them. Her
spirits are good and she feels confident
her life will be spared.
