LONDON, April II. - May Stewart,
the militant suffragette, who with a
elcaver tried to demolsh a case of val
liable porcelains in the British museum
April 9, created such a disturbance
when arraigned today that the police
magistrate was compelled to adjourn
the trial. When the public prosecutor
started to open the case Miss Stewart
shouted: 81 have not come here to
listen to YOU today
The magistrate demonstrated, but the
prisoner declared she would not desist
50 long as Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
was being tortured, and she then blew
It ball of paper at the magistrate,
whereupon he and the public prose
cutor gave up in despair and ordered
the hearing postponed.
Later in the day May Stewart was
identified as Catherine Wilson, who
was arrested March l6 in the House

rying dogwhip. At that time she was

on the hearing to be held before Su-
preme Court Justice John w. Golf. on
q motion for a new trial.
1t is doubted whether the hearing
before Chief Justice Golf is concluded
today, III which event it is expected
that District Attorney Whitman will
join with the counsel of the gunmen
in requesting Gov. Glynn to grant a
respite
Unless the respite is received by War
den Clancy of Sing Sing before the
time set for the execution he has made
ii plain that the original program of
the execution win be followed.
Until the word of the eleventh hour
fight in their behalf was carried to
them in the death house last night
the four gunmen were preparing for
death.
They refused to believe that any
hope remained of escaping the electric
chair.
This new evidence, in the form OF
af1idavits, was presented to Justice Gof
by Charles c. F. Wahle of counsel fot

one affidavit swore that man whom
he could identify and who was not one
