Startling words came from the lips of Charles Shaffer yesterday morning prior to his being re-sen- fenced to death by Judge Frank B. Laine for the murder of Edward Giles of Winkelman in 1911. When the court asked Shaffer if he had any legal cause to show why the judgment and sentence of the court should not be pronounced upon him, Shaffer astonished his hearers by saying:
 "I did not have a fair and impar- tial trial. I was railroaded to the penitentiary just the same as lot of others over there in the same fix, 1 was convicted before 1 ever came to this court. They had 1t all fixed up before even got there. I didn't have money enough to hire good lawyer. I am a man of few words. If there is just God you can't fool him. You might fool the people but you can't fool God. Ii there is a just God you and your kind are in a hell of a fix If there isn't I am in a hell of fix, if am in wrong"
 "Shaffer having finished his state ment, Judge Laine continued.
 There being no legal cause to show why judgment and sentence of the court should not be pronounc- ed upon you, you are hereby sen fenced to be executed on the ninth day of May, 1913, within the walls of the state penitentiary at Florence Arizona, by being hanged by the neck until you are dead"
 "You sit up there and pass that sentence upon me and you don't know a thing about the case" said Shaffer, when Judge Laine had fin ished.
 Take the priosner in custody, MT Sheriff." said the court. And the defendant was led out of the court room"

"littIe Women"

William A. Brady's production OF
Little Women" a dramatization of
Louisa M. Alcotts immortal story, will
be presented at the Auditorium, Thurs
day, Dec. 4, exactly as it ran for
solid year at the Playhouse, New York.
Little Women,,' as it is = -ured ty
Miss Alcott in her book of that name,
is in truth the story of the four Aleott
girls, the daughters Of Amos Bronson
Alcott. Brought up in the atmosphere
Of plain living and high thinking"
with Emerson, Thoreau and Haw-
thorne and neighbors and family
friends, what wonder that the reader
of today is startled by the modern
spirit which Miss Alcott, the 10 of the
story, has put into her little book?
1t has taken years to get the Alcott
heirs to consent to having Little
Women" put on the stage, but the argu-
ment which finally prevailed was that
the play would actually reproduce the
book, and that Miss Alcott. herself,
with her keen love for the stage and
her delight in playwriting, would have
been the first to welcome her story in
stage form.
The first three acts are laid in the
Alcott sitting room, which is repro
duced, the room in which the little
women actually lived and from which
Meg went forth as a BRIDE where 10
wove her little romances and watched
the children as they Jared forth to try
their fortunes, from which little Beth,
the household saint of the Alcott fami-
ly, went out into the Great beyond;
and from which Amy, the Alcott baby,
stepped forth filled with hope and am
billions for an artistic career only to
find all her happiness in the love of the
man she subsequently married
Sver since William Brady announc-
ed his forthcoming production of Lit
tie Women" his office has been delug
ed with letters both of inquiry and sug-
gestion. "Pleas7 make 10 marry
Laurie" is one of the favorites which
recalls to those familiar with Louise

CAP A COLD FOR Csc
MEXICAN POLICY
Meets APPROVAL
ALL PARTIES APPLAUD WILSON'S
STRONG STATEMENT ABOUT
HUERTA REGIME.

Washington, Dec. 3.-The most i'm
pcrtant development in the Mexican
situation here was President Wilson's
outline in his address to Congress of
the status of affairs in the southern
republic. His declaration that "Mexi-
co at present has no government" that
attempts to maintain one by General
Huerta at the City of Mexico, had
broken down and a mere military des-
potism" set up, his remuneration of
Huertas usurpation of power and the
prediction that the Huerta regime soon
would crumble we're received with
close attention and enthusiastic ap-
plause by members of Congress of all
political parties.
The remark that Huerta had "for
feited the respect and moral support
even of those who were at one time
willing to see him succeed" and the as
sertion that Huerta's isolation meant
his gradual elimination with the col
lapse not far away" were phrases
much stronger than had been used by
the President heretofore in referring
publicly to Huerta.
