Women TO Fight.
Assistant District Attorney Jsmel
Donnelly, who conducted the case
against Mrs. Ferols, says that IL the
women's clubs take notion to inter
cede for her the case may be prolonged
indefinitely.
She's the first woman TO be con-
demned TO death in this state since tn.

One woman who can be depended
upon TO protest against Mrs. Ferola's
execution, If it comes TO that, is Mrs
lnez Milholland Boisseyain. But not
wholly because the person to be ex-
ecuted is a woman. Mrs. Boissevain Isl
too good feminist to ask special priv
ileges for any member of her sex. She
objects to capital punishment, and is
one OF the leaders in the movement TO
have it abolished in this state.
'As for Mrs. Ferola," she told me

Csrmello Canistrale, a man much
younger than Mrs. Ferols, promised to

However, Horace y. Downs, her
counsel, took more liberties with the
dread substance Of the testimony.

asked about that gruesome exhibit.
NO; there was nothing in that. II
was established at the inquest that
the dents in Mr.. Ballou's head and hat
could not have been made by the fat
iron. The mark on the hat which
the police thought at first had been
made by some one throwing the iron
were on the front OF the crown. The
marks or the body were on the back
of the head, below the level Of the
hat line. The stains on the hatlron
were proved 70 be not blood.
The only new bit Of evidence we
shall introduce is the fact that the
hall was dark when Mr. Ballou left
Mrs Angles apartment. That makes
it obvious that he must have fallen
downstairs"
The mystery in the case which i'm
PEELED the coroner TO hold Mrs. Angle
responsible for the death is her own
strange behavior on the night of the
tragedy. Instead of rushing TO the aid
of the injured man, she locked herself
in her room, and denied all knowledge

Afterward she gave out an interview
in which she said that she had dragged
his body out 10 the sidewalk and left
il there, fearing that she would be
compromised by its presence at the
foot Of her stairway. Il now rests
with a jury TO decide whether these
acts had any criminal intent, or were
merely the result Of the hysteris Of
