subjects and cared for their interests;
how during the siege Of Antwerp l
had repeatedly crossed the lines dur
ing actual fighting at the request OF
Field Marshal Won der Goltz to look
after German interests; how all this
service had been rendered gladly ana
without thought of reward; that since
the beginning Of the war we had new
err asked a favor of the German au-
thorities, and 1t seemed incredible
that they should now decline to grant
US even a days delay to discuss the
case of a poor woman who was, by
her Imprisonment. prevented from
doing further harm, and whose exc
cution in the middle Of the night at
the conclusion of a course Of trickery
ard deception was nothing short of
an affront to civilization. Even when
I was ready to abandon all hope, Lee
val was unable to believe that sthe
German authorities would persist in
their decision, and appealed most
touchingly and feelingly to the sense
of pity for which we looked in vain.
/ Our efforts were perfectly useless,
however, as the three men with whom
we had to deal were SO completely
callous and Indifferent that they were
in no way moved by anything that we
could say.
We did not stop until after mid
right, when it was only too clear that
there was no hope.
It was a bitter business leaving the
place feeling that we had failed and
that the little woman was to be led
out before a firing squad within a
few hours. But it was worse to go
back to the legation to the little group
Of English women who were waiting
in my office to learn the result of our
visit. They had been there for near
1y four hours, while Mrs. WhttIock
ard Miss Larner sat with them, and
tried to sustain them through the
hours of waiting. There were Mrs
Gahan, wife of the English chaplain
Miss B. and several nurses from Miss
Cavell's school. One was a little wisp
of a thing who had been mothered by
Miss Cavell, and was nearly beside
herself with grief. There was no
way of breaking the news to them
gently, for they could read the answer
in. our faces when we came in. All
we could do was to give them each a
stiff drink of sherry, and send them
home. Leval was as white as death

patrols I rang the bells of several
houses in a desperate desire to talk
to somebody, but couldn't find a
soul-only sleepy and disgruntled
servants It was a night I should not
like to go through again. but 1t wore
through somehow and I braced up
with cold bath and went to the lega-
ton for the days work.
The day brought forth another
loathsome fact in connection with the
case. It seems the sentence on Miss
CaveH was not pronounced in open
court Her executioners, apparently
in the hope of concealing their inten-
lions from US, went into her cell. and
there, behind locked doors, pronoun-
ced sentence upon her. It is all of a
piece with the other things they have
done.
Last night Mr.. Gahan got a pass
and was admitted to see Miss Cavell
shortly before she was taken out and
shot. He said she was calm and pre-
pared, and faced the ordeal without
a tremor. She was tiny thing that
locked as though she could be blown
away with a breath, but had a great
spirit She told Mr.. Gahan that sol
diers had come to her and asked to
be helped to the frontier; that know

she took she had helped them. She
said she had nothing to regret, no
complaint to make; and that If she
had it all to do over again she would
change nothing.
They partook together of the holy
communion, and she who had so lit
tie need for preparation was prepared
for death. She was free from resent

Garden City, Kans.-The verdict in
the murder case against Mr.. and Mrs.
Cred Gilmer is mot guilty"
This verdict was reported by the
jury at IL o'clock last night after
spending six hours in the jury room.
It was said this morning that the tes-
timony of one witness was all that
prevented the jury from reaching the

almost unanimous for acquittal on
the first ballot but one or two of the
jurors held out for a time on account
of the testimony of the one witness.
This closes one Of the most inter-
esting murder cases ever tried in
western Kansas.
