the little woman said she wanted to
see the Governor to make one last
plea for the life of her only son,
whose execution in the electric chair
for murder was to take place before
sunrise today-and did.
The other mothers could take pride
in the way their sons would meet
their end, and thus their grief be
mitigated. For her there could be
only shame.
She was Mrs. Joseph MulhoIland,
and yesterday was her fiftieth birth
day. Her story, so dramatic and pitt
