SUBWAY CROWDS
SEE ARMED THIEF
KILLED BY TRAIN
Fugitive's Pistol Cows
Throng Hit as He
Darts Across Tracks.

In an attempt to escape arrest, Ed
ward j. Kelly, notorious burglar,
known as "St. Louis" Kelly, leaped, re-
volver in hand, from the downtown
platform of the Seventy Street
subway station last evening, and was
hurled twenty feet and then crushed to
death by a Bronx express crammed with
homeward bound men and women.
Shouting at the top of his voice, Kelly
plunged down the stairs Of the station,
flourishing his revolver. Close behind
him came Mrs. Michael Kelly, of 100
West Seventy-ninth Street, screaming,
"Stop. theft The crowd on the plat
form gave way before the man. He
ran to the edge, hesitated a moment,
and then jumped, and started to run
across the tracks.
Fifty persons saw the express bear
down upon him. Kelly did not realize
his peril until it was too late. The
motorman of the train slammed on the
emergency brake, just as the forward
platform Of the car hit the fugitive in
the back. 1t threw him through the air
fully twenty feet. He fell on his face
and the forward truck of the first car
passed over his body before it came to
a standstill.
The train was packed with men and
women workers. For moment after
it stopped, panic reigned in the cars.
When the emergency brakes gripped the
wheels hands were torn away from the
straps to which they clung and many
persons were hurled to the floor.
Screams arose, and several women
tainted.
Police and subway employees pulled
the mangled body out from beneath
the wheels.
Late yesterday afternoon Kelly, who
had just completed years term in d
New York prison, picked the lock on
the front door of Mrs. Kelly's house
and entered. The woman was upstairs
when she heard footsteps in the hall
below. She crept out TO the stairs
and when she saw the man screamed
The burglar fed. with Mrs. Kelly IN
pursuit, yelling stop, thief"
From Columbus 10 Amsterdam Ave
nue. she chased the invader. Patrol
man Kotschau saw Kelly dash across
the avenue. He shouted at him, and
then jumped into passing automobile
/ When halfway to Broadway the burglar
stopped for a second, aimed revolver
at the woman, who still followed, and
pulled the trigger. No report fol
/ lowed. Later, when the pistol was
/ found beside the body, ore cartridge
was dented from the firing pin. Be
. fore Kelly could fire again he sa"
/ the policeman bearing down upon him
and took to his heels.
He beat the automobile to Broadway
and dived into the subway kiosk to
meet his death.
Finger prints of the man, who had
nothing upon his body to identify him
except the initials "E. J. X" tattooed
on his arm, were sent to Police Head
quarters from the SiXty-eighth Street
station. There Identification was made
/ lie had a long criminal record.
The burglar was quietly but eXpen-
/ sively dressed In pocket OF his blue
serge suit was found a small pocket
| book containing two wedding rings

/ crime A. Boland as having been stolen
/ from her when her apartment, at jlS
( West Forty-sixth Street, was entered
! several weeks ago.

CALLS AFFIDAVlTS
NOT MATERIAL
Has No Power to Order
Rehearing of Case Un-
der the Statutes.
LATE HOUR DECISION
Court Says Proceedings Should
Have Been Taken Before
Governor Whitman.

Charles Becker must 60 to the
chair.
At 1915 o'clock last night Su-
IRENE Court Justice John Ford an
nounced that he had denied Becker's
motion for a new trial.
There is no appeal from this de-
cision. Governor Whitman holds
Becker's life in his hands, but. as
Mr. Whitman has repeatedly said he
will not commute the condemned
mans sentence, the former police
lieutenant will be executed at 5:45
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Justice Ford finds that Becker's
statement and the afidavits submit
ted along with this to the court do
not constitute new evidence, are
without weight, and that, for the
most part, this evidence is cumula-
tive.
Furthermore, Justice Ford holds,
he is without power to grant a new
trial.
In handing out his written opin-
Jon 10 newspapermen last night the
justice said;
The power of court in a
criminal case of this kind is linn
tied. When l came to look up the
authorities l could not find that |
possessed the power to order new
trial. l suppose there are reasons
Of public policy why this should be
so.
1--WE arc all familiar with the de-
laws in obtaining convictions. If
trials could be granted on motions
Of this kind, supported by afidavits
such as these, there never would be
any executions. | suppose that is
the reason why we are restricted IN
our powers.
This is a very serious situation
that presented by this case. But l
have hewed to the line, lets the chips
fall where they may. This proceed
ing belonged before the Governor,
and that is where it should have
teen taken"

Finished Opinion at 10.


day by Justice Ford, the newspaper
men gathered in the reception room Of
the chambers of the justices Of the
Supreme Court, on the thirteenth floor
Of the Emigrant Bank Building, 81
Chambers Street at 10 o'clock last
night Michael Ford, brother of the
justice and his secretary, came out and
said:
His honor is just finishing the die
tating Of his opinlon."
Michael Ford, ewing no intimation
Of what the decision was, left the circle
Of waiting reporters and returned to
lis office. Ten or so minutes later he
Iesppeared.

Justice Ford, when his visitors were
grouped around him, put his right hand
on the original copy Of the opinion,
which lay on the desk in front of which
he was sitting ard. turning his eyes
upon it steadily, ne said:

His face was net set in an expression
Of unusual frmncss, but his voice had
that quality. He did not follow that
statement up with another for about
half a minute. Their he looked up and
said:
You'll find everything you want,
guess, in my written opinion"
When did you reach decision?" he
was asked.

minutes later he departed for MS
apartment.
"Such a motion could not be grant

Ford says, in opening his opihloh;
The power TO grant it was conferred
by statute in the laws of 1893, Chap

Ia This Locust Yesr7

We are not certain that this is or
is not locust year, but certainly IL Is
locust blossom year and whether or
not the pesky locusts will bother us
or not but drive through this sec
ton of Central Kentucky will reveal
the fact that there are many more
locust trees than even the close OBJ
servers would think. They are all
white with bloom and add beauty to
this favored section of Gods foot
stool. The foliage of all trees is un-
usually heavy but they do not hide
the pretty bloom of the locust, which
is distinguishable in every clump Of
trees in Lincoln and adjoining coun-
ties. BY the way. this beautiful coun-
try never looked prettier than now
and with good grass. bumper crops
coming and many things combining
TO make better times ahead there is
every reason that we should be glad
that we live in Kentucky, free coun-
try, where wars. pestilence and fam
inc are unknown and where every
prospect pleases and even man is not
so vile

French Remedy Aids
Stomach Sufferers

France has been called the nation
without stomach troubles. The French
have for generations used a simple mix
ture OF vegetable oils that relieve stom-
ach and intestinal ailments and keep the
bowels free from foul, poisonous mat
ter. The stomach is left to perform its
functions normally. Indigestion and
gastritis vanish.
Mr.. Geo. II. Mayr. a leading druggist
Of Chicago, cured himself with this
remedy in a short time. The demand
is so great that he imports these oils
from France and compounds them under
the name OF Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy. People everywhere write and tes-
fifty 10 the marvellous relief they have
received using this remedy-one dose
will rid the body OF poisonous accretions
that have accumulated for years and
convince the most chronic sufferer from
stomach. liver or intestinal troubles.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is sold by
leading druggists everywhere with the
positive understanding that your money
will be refunded without question or
bubble il ONE bottle fails to give you
absolute satisfaction.

Where Can He Buy II.

Where can a man buy cap for the
knees?
Or key for lock of his hair?
Can his eyes be called an academy be-
cause there are pupils there?
Is the crown of his mead where gems
are set?
Who travels the bridge of his nose ?
Can he use when shingling the roof
of his mouth,
The nails at the end of his toes?
What does he raise from the slip of
his tongue?
Who plays on the drums of his ears?
And who can tell the cut and style of
the coat his stomach wears?
Can the crook in his elbow he sent
to Jail?
And if so, what did it do?
How does he sharpen his shoulder
blades?
I'm sure | don't know, do you?
