PARDON A WOMAN
AFTER 36 YEARS
Board Members Free Mrs.
Cobb, Given Life Term in
Dual Poisoning.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. 19.-Mrs. Kate
Cobb of Norwich, who has been con-
fined in the state prison at Wethers-
field nearly Sc years for the murder of
her husband, was granted a pardon
today by the state board of pardons.
She was sentenced to life imprison-
ment in 1879.
The pardoning of Mrs Cobb. who
is now &c years old, recalls one of the
most sensational crimes in the annals
OF Connecticut courts. Her husband.
Charles Cobb. was tax collector of the
city of Norwich. He was found dead
in January, 1879. Soon afterward Mrs.
Wesley Bishop, a member of another
prominent Norwich family, also died
suddenly. Both families were init
mate.
The coroners inquest showed that
both Cobb and Mrs. Bishop had died
of poisoning under suspicious circum-
stances. Mrs. Cobb and Bishop were
arrested, and il developed in the evil
dence during a remarkable trial that
the two had planned separate murders
that they might be free to marry.
The evidence however. was mostly
anu II was llOl uhlii
Bishop turned states evidence that
the motive and details were brought
out. Both defendants were sentenced
to life Imprisonment. Bishop died in
prison two years ago.
Although confined in cells not many
hundred feet apart. the two prisoners
never saw each other after the day
they were sentenced. 1t is said Bishop
had requested that he might see Mrs.
Cobb before he died. but she declined
to see him.
Mrs. Cobb petitioned the board of
pardons six different times for Glenn
ency.
Although in prison more than half
of her life. Mrs. cobb retains many
traces of the beauty for which she was
noted when she lived in Norwich. She
has two offspring living.

Attempt of Russians to
Get Supplies to Field

BERLIN STILL JOYOUS
Continues Celebration of Re-
ported Victory in East,
Though Lacking Details.

Amsterdam, Dec. 19.-According to
a Budapest newspaper an armored
train enroute from Lemberg to the
Carpathians with ammunition and food
has been blown up. The route, Lem
berg to Carpathians," makes it appear
the train was sent by the Russians,
who have held Lemberg some time.
The report, if true, would indicate a
line of Russian communication with
their forces operating in the Carpath-
ians has been successfully attacked.
Results of Battle Awaited.
London, Dec. 19.-German announce
ment of an overwhelming victory in
Poland still fails to bring a response
from Petrograd. Berlin, puzzled by
absence of details, is said to be ex-
periencing a shadow of disappoint-
ment,' although still celebrating the
reported victory. Newspapers point
out it will require several days before
the net results can be approximately
set forth. Meanwhile various rumors
are in circulation concerning the very
large number of prisoners taken by
the Germans.
Petrograd dispatches say a new
Austrian expedition across the Carpa-
thians into Galicia has been checked
and that the Russian forces near the
Silesian frontier are holding firmly.
Claim Capture of Rouers.
London newspapers reviva report
that the allies have captured Roulers
in one of the most furiously contested
regions of Flanders. Like the rumored
capture of Westende, however, this re-
port lacks official confirmation.
England is preparing to express
gratitude for help to war sufferers ex-
tended by the United States by cabling
a message of thanks at Christmas
time.
1t Is indicated by the German war
Office today that the offensive in the
west now rests with the allies. Ber-
lin speaks of a series of hostile at
tacks, which are said to have been
rspulsed. A French statement how
ever, asserts further important advan-
tages have been won by the allies,
who apparently are making an effort
to push back the German line at a
sharp angle north of Paris, where it
swings eastward AT Albert the all
lies claim to have pushed through to
the entanglements in front of the Sec
ond line of German entertainments.
At several other points ground has
been won and German trenches occu-
pied. In two instances it is admitted
the Germans made progress.

GIVE NATURE A CHANCE.

Health officer LanGis said in an in
terview the other day:
Prolonged exposure to an over
heated, polluted atmosphere Is the
main cause of pneumonia"
That there is more illness in this
climate in Winter than in Summer is
not because cold air is less wholesome
than warm. 1t is because, in trying
to escape from the cold, we overhead
our homes, offices and places of pub
lie meeting, and are too successful in
keeping out the fresh air. Ne other
highly civilized nation keeps it's
dwellings as hot in winter as we do
and it is probably on this account
that no other people are quite as sub
ject to colds, sore threats and SINH
lar illness as we.
1t will be a happy day for the
United States when the average
American gets it into his head that
while fresh air does not hurt any
body a polluted atmosphere has kill
ed more people than the high-powered

Because She Was Induced to Leave
Her Husband.

Allegations that William HI. Barnard
induced her to leave her husband,
William w. Wood, of Philadelphia, by
promise to secure divorce and marry
her, if her husband divorced her, and
by promise to pay her $4,000 in cash
and 500 a week for the rest of her
life, are made by Mrs. Gertrude A.
Wood, of Philadelphia, in suit for
$4,000 damages which she filed in
New York a few days ago against
Barnard
Mrs. Wood alleges that her husband
obtained a divorce Gecree but that
Barnard failed to fulfill his alleged
agreement.
Mrs. Wood swears that she repuls-
ed Barnard's alleged advances at first,
and told him to never again enter her
home, but that he renewed his atten-
ton and told her that her husband
was too friendly with other women
although Mrs. Wood AYERS, he knew
this to be false. She says Barnard
induced her to leave her husband and
come to New York.
Wood then began suit for divorce
Mrs. Wood says she told Barnard that
she intended to testify that she was
blameless in so far as her forced rela
tions with him were concerned. She
asserts that Barnard told her he
could not testify in her behalf, as his
wife and daughter were with him.
Then, Mrs. Wood AYERS, Barnard
made her the financial offer and, be
llieving her unsupported defense would
be useless, she did not defend the di
vorce suit, and Wood won the decree
