II Is possible that Edward II. Ford,
who has been on trial before jury in
Justice stanord's court for the rast
two weeks on the charge OF killing
bis wife, Ella Ford, in February, 1915,
will know his fate before he retires
tonight.
The case was given to the jury this
afternoon by Justice Stafford, who
concisely and clearly explained the
many legal points involved in the
case that bear on the claims OF the
prisoner that the deed was committed
while insane The court also told
the jury the value to be attached to
testimony OF alienists who appeared
for the Government that Ford was OF
sound mind, and that OF alienists who
on the other hand averred that the

has led to the necessity of postponing
for some time the decisive blow.
"Witn this end in view, new basis

groupings. have to be created" says
the dispatches. 'The German interior
front is implored not to renounce it's
confidence in our Hindenburg on ac-
count of that"
, The tone of this official note is sig
nificant. The impression caused in
Germany by the defeat must have
been very profound; their confidence
must be seriously shaken for the high
command to solicit, and with sort
of humility that is scarcely habitual
to 1t, fresh favors.

carried out in two hours.
The former emperor, it is added, re-
ceived the announcement of the SEN
tence of death with great calmness, but
when he returned to his bedroom he
collapsed in chair. After few min
utes he asked for a priest. with whom
he was allowed to remain unattended.
Subsequently he wrote several letters.
When the escort arrived to take him
to the place of execution Nicholas at
tempted to rise from his chair, but was
not able. The priest and soldier were
obliged to help him get to his feet. The
condemned man descended the stairs
with difficulty and once he fell down.
AS he was unable to stand without
support when the place of execution
was reached, he was propped against
post. He raised his hands and
seemed to be trying to speak, but the
rifles spoke and he fell dead.
