CALM AND UNAFRAID
James Plew Was Hanged This Morning
for Staying William Wakefield
Last June.

Hartford, Conn, March 4.-James
Plew, who murdered William Wakefield
at Middlebury last June in order that he
might marry Mrs. Wakefield, was hanged
in the state prison at Wethersfield early
this morning.
In cell in the death row." not many
hundred feet away, was Mrs. Wakefield,
under sentence of death for completely
in the crime. She was originally SEN
fenced to die with Plew, but by a strange
coincidence, arguments were made for a
new trial before the supreme court on
the very day she was sentenced to be
hanged-the appeal acting as stay, OF
execution.
Mrs. Wakefield was awake and pray
ing at the hour Plew paid the penalty
of the law. Plew made a request that
he see Mrs. Wakefield before he died,
but this privilege was denied him by the
prison rules.
Calm and unafraid, he entered the ex-
ecution chamber at 1902 o'clock. Twen-
ty-two seconds later he was strapped,
the death cap and moose adjusted and
the trap sprung by Warden Garner. At
l2:l3 o'clock the physicians pronounced
him dead.
No Written Confession.
Plew made no written confession be-
fore his execution, but talked freely of
the crime to the prison chaplain and Off.
cials. During the day he was visited
by his brother, Isaac Plew of Salisbury
Mills, n. Y, and his sister, Mrs. Mary 4,
Sedenburg of New York.
The condemned man was taken from
the death house few minutes before
midnight. He evidenced no nervousness
and seemed oblivious to the fact that
he was soon to die. He expressed no
regrets for himself saying that he com
mitted the murder and was ready to paw
the penalty. He displayed some interest
when he heard that Mrs. Wakefield's
case was argued before the supreme court
to-day and he hoped she would be grant.
ed new trial.
If no error is found and the sentence
is carried out, Mrs. Wakefield will have
been the first woman to hang in Connec-
ticut since colonial days. Many promi-
nent women and suffrage leaders through.
out the state and country have interested
themselves in her behalf. Governor Bald
wins office has been flooded with thous-
ands of letters begging him to interfere.
The governor, however, has no jurisdie-
ton except as one member of the board
of pardons. Several thousand letters
were received by the governor to-day.
