the Century Magazine entitled "Peru,
the Roof of the Continent" tells of the

with the Governor, Mrs. Becker sat
alone in a darkened room. Meantime,
the halls outside filled with newspaper
men and photographers and several
of the curious. Included in the latter
was one man who was quite certain
that If he whispered one word into the
Governors ear Becker's life would be

began to talk.
AS between Mrs. Becker and the gov
ernor, she appeared to have her nerves

was flushed, his collar wilted and he
stood YEARLY clasping his hands togeth-
er when he saw several newspaper men
after he had left her.
II suppose he said very slowly, that
you want to ask me If I have seen Mrs.

Turning then to Mr.. Johnston, the
governor said You had better make

Mr.. Johnston then explained the legal
points in the case which he had raised
and the governor told on what grounds
he had refused to consider them just
cause for his interfering with the execu-
t1on. AS the governor finished talking
he moved over to a chair and sat down

slipped out side stairway and entered

The governor denied vigorously tonight
that he ever told Charles B. Pitt that he
intended to pardon Becker il he became

Mr.. Johnston declared tonight in the
presence Of the governor that he never
knew of Becker offering to plead guilty.
to second degree murder. The governor
said positively that any quote from him
to the effect that Becker had made sucb
an offer was unwarrented, but he added
that he would not deny the truth of such
q statement.
