WILL REFER IT TO COUNCIL.
Governor Foss to Let Them Decide Wom-
an Murderer's Case.

Boston, May 2s.--The petition of Mrs.
Lena Cusumano for Communication of her
sentence to death by electrocution viii
be referred to the executive council for a
hearing by Governor Foss.
Governor Foss made that announce
ment last night after consultation with
the attorneys for the condemned. The
council will give hearing on the matter
at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Cusumano and Enrico Masciol
were sentenced to death for the murder
of Mrs. Cusumano's husband at Hull in
September, 1910, and their executions
were set for the week of June 2.
Mascioli has already been transferred
to the death cell at the Charlestown
state prison, but Mrs. Cusumano is still
in the Plymouth county Jail.
Strong efforts have been made to have
the sentence of the woman commuted,
on the alleged ground that Mascioli actu-
ally killed Cusumano, and on the grounds
of sentiment that the killing of a woman
would be disgrace to the state.
The last execution of woman in the
commonwealth occurred 1874 years ago,
when Mrs. Bsthsheba Spooner and three
soldiers were hanged Mt Worcester for
the murder Of the woman's husband.
The governors council has the final
judgment as to whether the sentence of
death may be committed to life impris
although the governor may re-
fuse to allow such petitions TO be acted
upon by that body.
