Prominent bankers in this city said
this morning that they did not predict
any decided unfavorablc effect on the
stock market by reason Of Mr.. Nor
gans death. The reason for this, they
explained, was that the recurrent ru-
mors of his serious illness had pre-
pared the market for any possibility
and enabled those engaged in market
operations to prepare for just such a
situation.
There was no excitement or marked
change in prices during the opening
session of the Consolidated Exchange,
which opens half an hour in advance
OF the stock exchange. Prices were
from Ia to "a under the London
opening. and 1-2 to L IA below Satur-
days New York closing.
Please don't speak to me now" was
the request of ]. p. Morgan, Jr.-now
J. p. Morgan-to the small army OF
newspaper men who greeted him when
he left his home in Madison avenue
this morning. Mr.. Morgan was bound
for the home of his mother, a few
doors away. Before he entered her
door. however, he added: 1.-TWO cable
grams have been received from Rome.
One was received at Sis and the
other at $50. They have not yet been
translated. A statement will be given
out later at the offices Of J. P. Morgan

Counsel for the defence said that this
was one Of those cases in which the
woman paid and there was not per-

urung with pity for her. The jury
found her guilty and recommended her
tn mercy. Justice Ridley, having no
optjon under the law, sentenced her to
death.
When asked by the clerk of the court
if she had anything TO say the woman
pleaded that she was about to become

courts. put in the jury box and sworn.
The Jury OF matrons after deliberation
