But Mrs. Scrosgy is keeping the

OWE THEIR LIVES TO WOMAN
How Mrs. John Hays Hammond Won
Pardons From Grim Old loom
Paul" Kruger.

John Hays Hammond, an American
citizen, was in prison, under sentence
of death. He had been tried and con-
victed of high treason to the South
| African Republic. One of four leaders
Of the reform movement in the Trans
vaal, he was charged with compl:rity
in the famous Jameson raid, found
guilty, and sentenced to die.
Only one person lived in the Trans
vaal with sufficient power to set aside
the death sentence passed upon the
man who is known today as the great
est mining engineer in the United
States. This was Dom Paul Kruger,
then president of the South African
Republic He was an old man-nar-
row, bigoted and possessed of an In
tense hatred for the eager, grasping
strangers who he believed had sought
his country only to despoil it.
John Hays Hammond was among the
most enterprisng and. consequently,
one Of the most disliked, Of the foreign
residents Of the Transvaal. For years
he had been employed as an engineer;
first by Barney Barnato, the English
mining operator, ana later by Cecil
Rhodes, to locate diamonds in Dom
Paul's country Dom Paul disliked
him. He dislked all men who brought
swarms of eager reckless adventures
into his country. And he made life as
difficult for them as he could.
In 1895 the world was startled by the
news that British adventurer, Doctor
Jameson, had led raidlng party Of
armed men into the Transvaal. The
raid failed. John Hays Hammond
was among those arrested on the ac-
cusation Of having instigated Jane
sons attack on the South African Re
public. He was found guilty and SEN
fenced to die.
But the brave, coolheaded wife Of
the eminent American mining engineer
did not intend that anything disagree
able should happen to her husband.
Ever since their marriage, in 1880,
Mrs. John Hays Hammond had fol-
lowed the fortunes Of her young en-
gineer, no matter where they took him.
But when they threw him into Jail
under a death sentence. she decided
that 1t was time for her to interfere.
She made up her mind to see Dom
Paul Kruger and tell him that she had
come to save him from the crime Of
putting an innocent man to death. 1t
was not easy to see President Kru-
ger, but Mrs. Hammond proved equal
to the task. 1t was not easy to con-
vince man who harbored deep, ST.
lent contempt for women, that won.
an was worth listening to; but Mrs.
Hammond was successful. Before she
left his office, Mr.. Kruger had prom
Used to spare her husbands life. The
president Of the Transvaal republic
kept his word to Natalie Hammond.
Her husbands sentence was commut-
ed to Imprisonment for Is years and
later on, he was freed on payment OF
a fine Of s125O00, and Mrs. Hammond
had the extreme happiness Of knowing
that through her intercession, not only
her husbands life but the lives OF the
men arrested with him had been saved.
