vent the killing of Mrs. Ferola, on the
ground that no woman ever again

Mrs. Ferola has little daughter

TWICE Sn6 mas SDeon, convicted OF
numbering an aged, defenseless man.
Hot words between Monroe Bess,
: son-in-law to Sis Johnson, and
fnles Wilmington, on the latter's
arm, several years ago, was the be-
Ginning of the trouble.
Bess is said to have left the field
and reported his troubles to his
mother-in-law. Sister Johnson then
armed herself and went to the Whit
tington home with Bess, her two
sons, Johnnie and Zeke, and her
daughter, Mary Bess. 30.
Monroe Bess, the prosecution
claims, stepped onto the porch of
the Wilmington home and shot John
Wilmington to death. AS Whiting
ton fell he fired on Zeke Johnson,
who was instantly killed -
twas then that Sister Johnson
fired load of buckshot into the
breast of James Wilmington, aged
father of the family, as he started to
rise from his chair.
Bess made his escape and was at
liberty for two years. He was cap
tured In missouri and, on pleading
guilty to manslaughter, was sentenc-
ed to twenty years in the state
prison.
Sister Johnson faced trial first in
the spring of 1911 and was convicted
of murder the jury recommending
mercy. Her attorneys won an appeal
for new trial; but when the case
was brought up the second time the
introduction of the dying declaration
of the woman's victim convicted her
of murder in the first degree, with
out recommendation for mercy. IN
der the laws of Florado, this calls |
for the extreme penalty of death.
Sister Johnson sits in her cell to- |
day, sullen and apparently Indifferent
to her fate.

her any more than she seems to with |
