spared my after years. But Gods way
is not our way
There were many other letters, some
OF which had been published in the
papers of the day ard carefully clipped
and preserved by friends. And those
days and the personality Of Mrs. Cobb
live in the minds Of her friends. SO 1t
is that when she is whisked in an auto
mobile over the sixty-mile journey
from Hartford tomorrow. she. will
find friendly eyes and fervent hand
clasps to speed her on her new life.

we're but just. Her mother was taken
from her when she was eight years old,
and the pain of the years IS written
plainly on her face. She and her
brother. Charles Cobb. who rs IN the
shoe business in Norwich, have adopted
a policy Of absolute silence m regard
to the imprisonment and pardon OF
their mother.
All Say Debt l. Paid.
What stands out in the whole affair
is the attitude OF the people, botn IN
the countryside about Lebanon and IN
Norwich. where Mrs. Cobb spent her
life and where the crime was COM
mitted. When approached on the sub
iect. the farmers think II over Tor
minute. clear their throats, and low
she'd had enough
In Norwich there are many VINO re-
member Mrs. Cobb and who knew the
details Of the double crime Of which
she and Wesley Bishop were convicted;
Risbop's wife and Mrs. Cobb's husband
were poisoned, and Bishop turned
states evidence, duplicating the woman.
But to-day there are some who main
tain that Mrs. Cobb never committed
he crime. and that Cobb was given
strvchnine In an orange by Bishop.
Be that as 1t may, there will be no
turning aside OF heads when Mrs. COBB
returns. The hand Of friendship VIII
be extended on all sides.
Judging from the spirit IN evidence
today IL needs only some one 20 take
the initiative 70 organize great DEM
onstration of welcome.
One Of the most frequent remarks Is
that Mrs. Cobb never should have Deen
convicted on the evidence, when was
purely circum mstantial, aside from the
testimony Of Bishop. Five years ago.
when one Of Mrs. Cobb's petitions was
before the Board Of Pardons, eH-GoV-
ernor Thomas Waller. of New London
who. as District Attorney, had proseeuI-
ed her. appeared IN her behalf.
One prominent citizen OF N0rWlch
said to-day that many local people VINO
were conversant with state legls'aVloil
believed that Mrs. Cobb's predicament

Of the twcnty-odd firms Of New York

Franklin Kennedy, Assistant Attor-

the completed record of the investiga-
tion would show that the controlling
power was the New York Mercantile
Exchange, whose executive committee,
ne maintained, was performing the
duties formerly assumed by the quota

being three times discredted in the

prices are fixed This publication is
issued by the Urner- Barry Company,
members of which belong TO the eX-
change. Instances have been known,
according to Mr.. Kennedy, where trad
ing on the Chicago market has been
suspended until the arrival o. the
Currents quotations.
Mr. Kennedy placed on che record
evidence to show that members OF the
discredited quotation committee were
