White Girl Found Guilty of Murder.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.-AuguSta
Edwards declared Saturday morning
that she will never serve {, term IN
the penitentiary, limiting suicide.
Attorney Mooney, counsel for Miss
Edwards, declared that they probably
will seek a new trial, on the grounds
that the verdict is not in accordance
with the law and the evidence. Fail
ing this, there is no recourse fol
Augusta Edwards except to have he1
mental condition examined by alien
lists, to see if she is presently sane.
The girl received several letters OF
encouragement at the Parish Prison
during the day offering aid in secur-
ing further legal services for a new
trial.
District Attorney Luzenberg has
shown himself as satisfied with the
verdict.
I'll never go to the penitentiary!
said Augusta Edwards, biting out
each word distinctly. That stain
shall never be on my name. See?"-
pointing with slim fnger-'I have
this vein in my wrist. A little vein,
a little wound in it, and then just
to lie still and let the blood drip
until darkness comes and l meet
George
The girl whom a jury Friday night
found guilty of the murder of George
w. Riehl sat in Matron O'Connor's
ante-room Saturday and told how she
killed her paramour, how she was
deceived by him, how she fought
blindly to throw off the shackles of
his love when she. discovered his du-
plicity, and finally how the weight OF
her sin and wrongs drove her to req
madness.
Love him? Out there in the
cemetery where he is crumbling -
she rose, and her shivering body
seemed almost to illustrate the dis
intergration she sought to picture
I'D go to-day if they'd let me blow
out my brains at his tomb! Then the
worms might gnaw this pain out OF
my heart-fat worms!
I'm willing to die for love, by gal
lows or fire or water or lead. ! won't
be locked away with nothing but pain
for my company.
They say if YOU slay wrongly the
dead will come and look at you with
eyes that cry, but don't see. Since l
have been her he has come once in
a dream. The dream was cast far
away somewhere and all l could re-
member of it when l awoke was that
it was sweet Three times when l
lay awake he came and put his head
here" She made a hollow in her
shoulder, and smoothed it, as one
smoothes a pillow. Just as he used
to: and he said: ! deserved it all,
forgive me as l forgive you!'
The girl placed her hands above
her heart and jumped up. The ges-
ture was so dramatical, that. if it
were not for the dead earnestness OF
her face and the freshet of tears, it
would have drawn laugh on any
burlesque stage. She raised both
hands and smiled with sudden CRATE
fulness.
''Oh, thank God, l can cry again.
Thank the dear Cod"
She was as changeable as April.
Now and then she smiled brightly and
the next instant unexpected tears
would be racing her round cheeks
down, to be followed by fitsul guests
of temper, by bitterness, by accusa-
tions of unfairness. She called the
trial unfair, her jailers unfair and
onHcr. the matron unklnd.
She said the jurors were untrue to
their oaths, when they failed to find
a death sentence with the verdict or
guilty.

PIER I5A TO
Be COMPLETED
IN NEAR FUTURE

The Board of Harb0r Commissioners
is contemplating the completion of
Pier Is A. situated along Queen street
at the mouth of Nuuanu stream and,
in connection with this project, pro-
poses to join the O. r. and L. and
Rapid Transit tracks with the wharf
in order that both companies may Ope-
rate their cars on the wharf. A plan
of the project has been submitted to
the board of supervisors showing the
general scheme of the improvements
and also the amount of work which is
to be done on Queen street.
LAS the care and maintenance of all
streets are under your direction, we
offer this matter to you for any
criticism or comments which you may
desire to make reads a portion of the
letter submitted to the supervisors.
The Rapid Transit and the o. r. and
l.. also have been informed of the pro-
posed project and have been asked to
assist along certain lines outlined by
the board.
At a meeting of the board this morn
ing, Chairman C. R. Forbes reported
tools which are the property OF the
body collected, properly marked and
made ready for immediate use. The
board has addre sSed a communication
to the Chamber of Commerce placing
before it the matter Of providing at
Pearl Harbor emergency wharfage Cor
ships of belligerent nations coming to
the islands The war department,
however, already has notified Rear
Admiral c. B. T. Moore that such
project is inadvisable at this time.
Chairman Forbes reported that he
will leave Honolulu for Hawaii Sep
TENDER on a tour of inspection. Sew
eral chunks of copper, highly corr0dCd,
were brought into the meeting as oX-
hibits to show the poor grade Of metal
which has been used to sheath the I'M
der-water portion of the piles on sew
CraI local wharvcs. The work Of re-
pairing this SheathinS was commenced
some time ago, and Chairman Forbes
has suggested that, instead CT trying
to patch IN the present COPPER, an eX-
perienced diver shOu.d be employed in
order that Il thorough job might be
made of resheathing the piles.
