GIRL so PRETTY,
HE'D LET GEN co!
But She's Held for Theft of 500
Diamond-Remorse of Her
Accuser Too Late.

Frederick C. Alden, elderly and dis
tinguished Of manner, almost lost his
nerve in the West Tooth Street police
station last night, when it came TO &C
cusing Miss Pearl Hslpern, young and
pretty, of stealing 500 diamond from
his apartment, at 200 West lO9th
Street.
He met the girl on Broadway at
109th Street and had Pstrolman Powell
arrest her. Alden began his tale with
heat, but his first glance at Miss Hal
perm, pale and nervous, as she stood
before the desk, almost tied his tongue.
He struggled on for a while, trying
to tell Lieutenant Lawson how he had
been deceived Then he glanced a.
Miss Halpern again, demure and chic
in tailored suit and cloth topped boots.
"Say, lieutenant" he broke off. isn't
she pretty, though? I'm sorry this has
happened. She's a pretty girl"
His remorse was too late. Lieuten-
ant Lawson insisted that the girl be
held. She admitted, the police say,
having taken the gem when she went
10 the Apartment of Alden. who had
been described to her by a girl friend,
she said, as a good thing" She said
she had given the jewel away.

ABOLISH THE CHAIR,
DOOMED MEN URGE
Three to Die Friday Beg Whit
man to Let Their Execu-
tiOus Be Last.

Albany, Feb. 23.-An appeal for the
abolition of capital punishment, IN
form said to be probably the most re-
markable document that ever issued
from Sing Sing prison, wi h its au-
thors three men who are to die FRIDAY
morning in the electric chair, is
awaited here tonight.
Women were the victims OF the
three murderers. Vincent Campanelli
shot his wife; Robert Kane killed Anna
Klein, in Brooklyn; Oscar Nogt slew
Mrs. Agnes Gurth, in her apartment
IN Manhattan.
The wish TO relieve posterity OF the
disgrace of capital punishment is the
purpose of their appeal, the men de-
clare. No hope that it will have any
bearing on their own cases influences
them, they say, since they are re-
solved to make no further attempt TO
escape the penalty for their crimes.
They argue that capital punishment
never has been, and never will be,
deterrent against murder, as their own
cases prove. The state, they add, mas
no right to take that which it cannot
give-life.
The appeal was issued by the doomed
men with the knowledge of Charles
Becker, whose cell is alongside that Of
Kane. Becker is said greatly to have
encouraged the preparation OF the
document when the plan was trst sug-
gested by the three siayers.
