Stricken with horror at
the tragedy of the man with
q child's mind who was
cOOped up near him in the
death house, the convict got
word to a lawyer of the Mu-
tual Welfare league, the
Sing Sing convicts' society.
"Inez Millholland Boissevain
and Mrs. Grace Humiston, the
woman lawyer who has already
saved two persons from the chair
became interested. Seven times,
as the hour for execution neared,
Stielow was given reprieves to al
low counsel to gather evidence
for a new trial. Gov. Whitman,
himself, issued five consecutive
reprieves.
But the motion for a new trial
was finally refused and execu-
ton set for sunrise on Satur-
day morning.

1.-TWO days before Stielow was
to die David White, his counsel,
and myself, with Mrs. Stielow

FEAR INCENDIARY
FIRE; GUARD DOCK

Large numbers of uniformed
and special policemen were rush
ed to the waterfront Tuesday
night and Wednesday, to act as
guards at FIGURING mills and ware
houses, as the result of the dis
covery of a phial of PHOSPHORUS
crystals in a wheat car near the
Sperry mills Tuesday.
"a Employers fear that an at
tempt is to be made to burn
down their plants. Police head
quarters announced Wednesday
that the special guards were be-
ing used for fire prevention pur-
poses only.
Deep mystery surrounds the
phial OF phosphorus. 1t was found
in a wheat car on the bluff above
the Sperry mills, 200 feet from
the plant. A chemical solution

No Change In
Police Head,
Says Petit

No changes in the heads OF the
Tacoma police department are
contemplated at present, and none
will be made until the civil serv-
ice board holds examinations for
promotion of police officers.
Commissioner Petit denied
Wednesday that he had any in
tention OF removing Detective
Capt. Fackler and replacing him
by Night Capt. Geary.
"Of course, the police depart
ment will have to be re-arranged
as soon as the officers take their
examinations" said Petit.
~ do not believe that Mr.. Fack-
Ter will take the examination for
captaincy, and l will have to APP
point some other civil service ELI
gible to his position. But l have
made no definite plans, and will
do nothing until the examinations
have been taqen."
1t was rumored Wednesday
that Petit had In mind a promi-
nent police officer, for the posi-
ton of either chief of police or

to make the liquid more inflam-
mable. Part of it had leaked out
and set fire to three sacks of
wheat, but because the car was
tightly sealed the fire did not
spread.
II believe that the person who
placed the bottle in the car be-
lieved that the chemical would be
carried down the grain chute IN
to the mill, and set fire to the
plant" said Capt. Geary Wednes-
day.
The wheat car was sealed
when 1t left Oregon early in July,
and re-sealed by the Sperry mill
inspector. No evidence can be
found that it has been opened
since reaching Tacoma. How the
bottle was placed inside the seal
ed car is puzzling police detec-
tiyes.

In Judge Adolph Rodenbeck's
