DEATH SENTENCE
FOR MURDERER
Twice Convicted Negro Must
Pay Penalty by Stretching
Hemp

Philadelphia, June 5-Jerry Lee
Green, the negro who has been twice
convicted of checking Katherine Clo-
hesy, domestic, to death in the dark
shadow Of trees surrounding the w.
w. Justice estate In Germantown on
the night Of July 19, was sentenced to
the gallows by Judge Wilson today,
after the court had refused a new
trial.
Dogged as he has shown himself
since he was first arrested, Green
held up his head when he was asked
whether he had anything to say be-
fore sentence was pronounced, and re-
iterated the statement that he has al
ways made, that he is innocent Of the
crime and did not kill the little
woman whose body was found the
morning after the crime.
But for the investigation which
was brought about by The Evening
Times. it is probable that no effort
ever would have been made to bring
the murderer of the friendless Irish
girl to justice. For several days the
Germantown police insisted that Miss
Clohesy checked to death during an
asthmatic fit.
Reporters Found First Clue
1t was not until reporters from that
newspaper proved to Coroner Ford
that it would have been impossible
for her to have staggered back fifteen
feet, fallen over stone wall three
feet high and alighted after the fall
three feet from the wall, that real
investigation Of the case was begun.
Five days after the Germantown po-
lice were compelled to retract from
their first theory" Green was ar
rested.
Green has been tried twice for Miss
Clohesy's murder. Both times the
evidence was SO circumstantially
strong that the jury pronounced the
prisoner guilty. Edwin M. Abbott.
counsel for the negro, declared his
intention today to appeal to the SUI
perior court to have the sentence re-
versed
Rosary Found In His Pocket
When Green was arrested a rosary
which Miss Clohesy had carried the
night she was slain was found on his
person. A pocketbook which she had
had in her hands only a few min
utes before it Is believed she was
first attacked was discovered in pos
session of a negro woman who said
Green had given it to her.
Green's defense was that he had
passed the Justice estate and had
found the pocketbook and picked it
up, but that he had not seen its own
er and did not know that any one had
been murdered.
The body Of Miss Clohesy was found
lying on the grass a few feet inside
the Justice property, opposite the Ger
mantown Cricket club, on the morn
ing Of June 20. The body was lying
on its back and the turf around it was
torn up from q struggle.

Steamship Passengers Saw Sea Ser.
pent After Whales.

New York, June 5.-Passengers and
crew Of the White Star steamship
Celtic brought with them to New York
today a revival of the sea serpent
tales Of other years. They reported
having passed early yesterday morn
ing a formidable looking creature
which was going at high speed in
pursuit of a school Of young whales.
The monster. they said, had wings
although 1t appeared to be an aquatic
animal and rose frequently ten feet
or more from the water. Whales and
pursuer faded from sight within few
minutes.

Williams Jennings Bryan owes 1t
to his own fame, as we'll as to his fel-
low Democrats, to proceed warily and
60 slow In the matter Of censorship.
He should be very sure, both Of his

presidency not only bring him In life
long debt to his political associates,
but they admonish him not to be too

let we'll enough have q chance In the

"The Courier Journal will hardly be
accused, and cannot be suspected Of
a disposition to lower its flag in the
matter Of the tariff. It is the last
survivor Of the old guard of revenue
