The Washington times., 1920-10-10

b
manacied Edward J. Kne.p. former lover
of Mrs. odell. to a tree and there beat and
cut him to death. The brutal ferocity Of
the crime appalled, even the police. The
girl was not of bad family; her husband
was a mechanic with excellent reputation.
Yet wild beasts could not have mutilated
the body of their victim more than they.
Despite the murderess's story of betrayal
by Kneip, a Rochester, N. Y. jury found
| odell guilty Of murder in the first degree
and Mrs. odell Of murder in the second
degree. The husband was sentenced to
electrocution in Sing Sing prison and the
bride was given sentence Of twenty years
in Jail.
At $3.50 o'clock on the evening of Mon
day, September 10, there was born to Mrs.
Odell in hospital just outside the gates
OF Auburn prison girl child. Only a mer-
ciful law passed by the last Legislature of
| New York allowed the child to be born
away from the jail, 50 that 1t would not
have this stigma Of shame placed upon 1t
in later years.
The first two years OF its life will be
spent within the prison, and much of 1t in
the cell of her mother. No power on earth
caa take the baby from her during this
time. 49,. ~
But when that two years expires the
warden OF, the prison may do with the little
one as he sees fit. The mother nor any
other relative has then anything further
to say about 1t. He may give 1t to rela-
tives OF either Of its parents, or he may
give it to utter strangers, or he may elect
to place 1t in an asylum. The fate Of the
child is absolutely in the warden's hands
What can possibly be the future Of this
child-and woman child at that-who
comes into the world under such handi-
cap?
No more interesting subject for the
ancient science of astrology can be found
than this poor little jail baby Of Pearl
Odell. And only by that science can its
future be revealed.
But first for the benefit of those who
may not know, let me outline briefly what
astrology is and by what methods it works.
There are influences in the sun, the
moon and the planets of our system which
have a profound effect upon the lives of
everyone and everything born upon earth.
These influences were carefully studied
and standardized by the ancient Egyptians
and by the Chaldeans. although they we're
Recognized ages even before then. The
Bible has many references to the influence
of the stars. BY a study Of the position Of
the planets and the sun and moon at the
hour when anyone is born we can, by care
fully tested calculations, predict the prob
able course Of that persons life. The posi-
tion of the planet Mercury, for instance,
in a certain place in the heavens at its
birth will not only give a child certain
characteristics, but helps to determine,
broadly, what will happen to 1t during its
life.
And SO it is of every one of the planets.
The chart OF the positions Of the planets
at the moment of birth is called horo-
scope or nativity.
The horoscope Of Pearl Odells little
baby is, as might have been expected. an
extremely unusual one. First, let me say
that the fact that she was born on the 18th
of the month has no significance whatever
as forerunner of either good, bad or in
different fortune. There is nothing in as
trology that supports the ancient super
Ludl tHiIttSu 10 du uuiuShy huhpS''
The thirteenth of the month is only an
unlucky day IL the planets, by immutable
laws, are gathered on that day in what Is
known as unfavorable position.
The astrological chart OF birth Of Sep
tember 10, 1920 is Of general nature, and
a child born on that date will have quiet
career. unless the hour of birth happens to
be an important one. In this case the hour
was a very important one.
The Ascending sign" or determinant is
the constellation Pisces, or the fishes-in-
dicated by the line dividing the division
numbers IL and on the map and re-
sembling the capital letter "H." Jupiter
Is the planet that rules this sign, and It is
the most fortunate one in our solar system.
Its symbol looks like the figure 4, and you
will find Il In the seventh division OF the
map. This is the House OF Marriage.
Therefore, this girl baby was born under
the sign Of the Fishes and her ruling planet
is Jupiter.
According to the laws OF sstrology this
ought TO be what is usually called a fortu-
nate horoscope, ~ more often, being born
under luck, @Ar. But going back to
division 1, we 9pA the evil planet Uranus
lust coming uL yyver the horizon In the
east Also Jupiter is found In the house
OF Virgo, where his power for good is modi-
fed. Nevertheless, through this combina-
ton the marriages OF the little girl-and
she will have several-will be strikingly
out OF the ordinary, and each OF them will
be connected with wealth or position.
