and keep yourselves from all covetous-

FREE AFTER YEARS in
SHADOW OF GALLONS
Woman Pardoned by Governor of
Pennsylvania After Being Under
Sentence of Death l3 Years.
KILLED HER HUSBAND in 1901

Reading. Pa. Feb. ia pardon for
Mrs. Kate Edwards, convicted Of the
murder Of her husband in 1901, was re-
ceived here last night. and she was re-
leased from prison at o'clock this
morning. The woman had been SEN
tenced to be executed and during the
thirteen years she was incarcerated the
death penalty hung over her.
Her case was the most remarkable in
the history Of Pennsylvania courts Be
cause of her sex none of the governors
who have served since her conviction has
cared to order her execution by fixing
date for carrying out the mandate of
the court. Since her Incarceration she
has learned to read and write.
Mrs. Edwards was hurried secretly out
Of Reading by her counsel and prison
agents. She arrived in Philadelphia at
o'clock this morning, accompanied by
her attorneys, and was hurried to a pri-
vate home. where she will remain in
seclusion for time
Mrs. Edwards, who is about sixty
years old, was convicted Of the murder
along with a negro who was employed
with her husband in a quarry near her
h9me at Stou~hsburg. The husband was
found dead with his head battered in.
The woman later confessed that the
negro was innocent and he was granted
new trial and acquitted.
Mrs. Edwards, in statement this
morning, said:
ITO the newspapers of the country and
the 10000 persons who have stood by
me in the ordeal OF my trial and i'm
prisonment:
'.It is through your efforts and the
effect on the board of pardons and the
grace of his excellency, the governor Of
the Commonwealth, I today renew my
place in the world as a free woman. To
ali who have assisted me offer my
most heartfelt thanks and wish them
Godspeed.
'I shall, by living a life Of purity In
the future, endeavor to redeem the past
Iassure you shall not do anything that
might betray your confidence.
81 pass out Of seclusion and II Is my
desire that pass into seclusion. So, for
the last time, I subscribe myself,
Most sincerely and most thankfully
yours,

combined State and Federal constitutional
question upon the legality of procedure
which has existed in Connecticut for g75

westport wreck OF October 5, 1912.
The issue involved is whether the Su-
perior Court has the right to issue

the States attorney unsupported by am
davit or affirmation Of any character by
some other person.
Counsel for Mr.. Mellen claim that this
act was contrary TO the State and Fed

ments, Judge Tuttls reserved decision
and adjourned court until Tuesday.

H. G. Baer Attends Meeting Of Com

Providing Exposition Building
WOULD MEAN ABOUT $4,000

H. G. Baer, secretary of the Be-
midi Commercial club returned yes
terday from Minneapolis where he
was in attendance at a convention of
the state Federation of Commercial
clubs, held Friday and Saturday.
The convention had been called for
the purpose of considering the rails
ing of a fund of $4,000 for the build
ing of a Minnesota building at the
Panama-Pacific exposition which is
to be held next year.
George Authier, secretary to the
governor and State Treasurer Walter
Smith were present at the meetings
and were in favor of Minnesota re-
presentation at the exposition. It
was suggested that the finances of
the building fund he taken care OF
by the state treasurer's office.
One of the chief points in favor of
the building was loyalty to the state.
1t was shown that nearly every other
state of the nation will be represent
ed and it would be a disgrac for as
great a commonwealth as Minnesota
not to he. Beltrami county will be
asked to subscribe toward the build
ing.
