The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1913-11-29

ara r
full and unwarranted the carrying out
of the court edict that Mrs. Wakefield
shall be hanged.
From every corner of the state the
protests Of the women are being voiced
in the form of publicly circulated petit
tons to which many thousands Of
names are being signed daily. in pub
licity campaigns and in personal de-
mands being made upon members of
the state board of pardons, legislators
and jurists. Although Mrs. Wakefield
still is in a cell in the prison death
house, no word yet has been received
by her indicating what will be the re-
suit of the unique crusade.
If Mrs. Wakefield dies for the muir
der of her husband, in the actual COM
mission of which she was not accused
of having taken a hand, she will be
the first woman put to death in the
state since 1856.
Connecticut's leniency toward women
who have been convicted of murder is
explained in part by it's efforts to atone
for it's unsavory record in Colonial
days, when six women were burned or
hanged as witches. In 1745 Elizabeth
Shaw, feeble minded girl, was hang
ed on her fathers testimony that she
had killed her infant child. She was
executed after she had ridden a mile
to the scaffold seated on her coffin and
crying aloud to be saved. But since
Connecticut became state only one
woman has been legally put to death
within its limits.
Mrs. Wakefield is twenty-four years
old and is one Of six children Of Mr..
and Mrs. Hiram Webster of Middle
bury, an uncultured, but honest, cou-
pie, who for years have eked bare
living out Of rocky farm.
The daughter received practically no
education, and she was only seven
teen when she was married to Wake
field, Bristol farm hand. She became
housekeeper for James Plew, Middle
bury farmer.
Plew and Wakefield soon quarreled
about her. Wakefield was found slain
last June. Plew confessed the deed,
but he and Mrs. Wakefield blamed
each other for plotting the murder so
that they could be married. Plew,
who has wife and child, and Mrs.
Wakefield. who has two children, have
been sentenced to be hanged on March
4, 1914.
It has been stated in the Connecticut
press that the vote Of the board must
be unanimous to commute a sentence,
but the law was changed four years
ago to make favorable vote of five
members effective.
Mrs. Wakefeld's children are with
her parents. The boy, who Is six years
old, and the girl. who is four, know
nothing Of their parents fate, and they
daily say to their grandmother, MAN
ma will be home today
The fact that many women have
been convicted of single handed and
premeditated murder in Connecticut in
the last half century, and that all have
escaped the death penalty, and that
Mrs. Wakefield is not even charged
with part in the actual killing Of her
husband, has melted widespread re
volt against the decree Of the extreme
penalty In her case.

THEIR HONEST GRAFT,

The tenacity with which congress
holds on to it's many perquisites and
privileges has been shown again dur
ing the present session. Though the
postmaster-general has pointed out in
an emphatic statement the abuses of
the franking privilege, there is not,
at this wiring the slightest indica-
ton that there will be any curtail-
ment of abuses. During the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1912, the postal serv-
ice handled 61,377,000 pieces of
franked mail. Postage at the ordin-
airy rate on this matter would have
netted the government nearly $780,
100000. About one-sixth of this was
political matter, sent by congressman
to their constituents and to the gen
eral public. During the primary cam
paign of April, May and June an ex-
traordinary quantity of this matter
was distributed. 1t comprised every
kind of document thought to be use
full for molding public opinion, and
even included complete political
campaign book which had been made

CRANBERRY SAUCE AND JELLY
Best Way to Prepare Them for Thoss
Who Like This condlmsnt With
Their Birds.

Cranbsrries are In the market now,
and there are many who prefer their
tart sweetness to any other sauce
with birds, says New York Sun
writer. They are best when jellied,
and should never be sent to the table
in any form without being strained
FREQ Of SKINS An excellent way to
Jelly these berries SO that their deli
cacy and crisp flavor shall be pre-
served 10 the following:
Pick over and wash two quarts Of
cranberries;. put them In Z saucepan
with cold water. Stew the fruit over
= slow flre until it may be pressed
through hne sieve. To each pint OF
the pulp add pound Of hne white
sugar; then place over the fire to boil,
stirring briskly for about fifteen min
utes or until the jelly thickens on q
cool saucer. Then pour in molds and
let It stand till nrm. e
This jelly ID also an ideal accom-
Danimsnt for the broiled or planked
spring turkey or guinea fowl Tho
birds are ct their very best now when
they are small and young. They
should be well buttered and bits Of
bacon pinned over them for either
planking or broiling. Very hot plates
and plenty Of best quality butter are
nscessary for the perfect service o.
birds.

after another application it is restor-
