chief justice refused 20 consider a
Joint plea for clemenoy earlier in
the month.
The couple will De hanged to-
gether IN Pentonville Jail. North
London. unless Bywaters' appeal is
successful. Women. attracted BY his
younth and by certain disclosures
during the trial started the huge
round robin petitions which have
gathered thousands Of names for
each hour they have ben ia c.rcula-
ton. Mrs. By7~aters. aged mother
OF the condemned youth, herself Sc
cured $1,000 names.
The crime was committed October
1. BywateTs admitted having stab
bed Thompson who had befnended
him, but who had quRrreled with
his wife concerning her friendship
with the young steward. He de-
clared he was mo vulgar assassin"
ana that Mrs. Thompson. in whose
arms her dying husband was found,
was entirely innocent.
But the prosecution produced at
the trial OF the accused pair an
amazing series OF passionate letters,
reminiscent OF Lucrezia Borgia, In
which Mrs Thompson wrote TO By-
waters OF her love and OF attempts
70 poison her husband.
The judge described the case as a
very vulgar one Of an adultress and
the murderer of her husband" q
jury found them both guilty and thu
lord chief Justice refused 10 consider
their appeal.
By n coincidence. w. c. Bridge
man, home secretary, TO whom final
appeal against the death sentence is
made today was recently nearly
poisoned 70 death when an unknoW n
woman sent him candy containing
arsenic.
Unless Bridgeman grants Bywaters
a reprteve. the couple probably VIII
be hanged the first week in January.
While British law makes no distinc-
tion between men and women as re-
CARDS the death sentence, executions
OF women are rare. only about
dozen such have taken place in 20
years; the last recorded was l 5 years
ago. But despite Mrs. Thompson's
approaching motherhood, it is be
lieyed she will be executed.

TIME Fascista movement now
definitely dominates the Gov
= ernment, the laboring masses,
the youth Of the country. 1t has
made inroads in the army. whose Of
ficers are with few exceptions It's
sympathizers, ard with its daring and
picturesque exploits il has captured
the imagination of thousands whose
intellectual horizons were dulled by
the strains of war.
The Fascista movement swept like
a flame through Italy. 1t leaped i'm
into public favor because of
the belief that 1t was the Fascist who
prevented a Red" revolution in this
country. AS a matter of fact, RED"
revolution could never have occurred
here, and Socialism was already de-
feated by the truth which had leaked
out about the Socialist paradise, Rus
sia.
But to the prestige Of this supposed
victory the Fascist added another
timely stroke by emphasizing national
ism and national glory at time when
Italy was just feeling her strength as
a nation. The disaster OF Caporetto
The New York herald., 1922-11-05

in the Great Theater last night only
differed from an English theater audi
ence by the absence OF white shirt
fronts and low necked dresses from the
boxes and the front rows in the stalls.
The principal difference between the
Bolshoi Theater audience of to-day
and that of ten years ago consists In
the absence to-day OF the brilliant
uniforms Of gymnastic. student and
military officers.
The crowd OF to-day IL dressed more
soberly than the crowd of 1912, though
Il seems TO be just as light hearted
and enthusiastic, judging at least by
it's behavior in the theater. There Is
a new bureaucracy and bourgeoisie,
predominantly Jewish. so Jewish that
on last Saturday which was, I under
stand, n great Hebrew festival. hardly
any business could be done. The busi-
ness life OF Moscow is as much regu-
lated at present by Jews as is the
business life of Salonica o. Mogudor.
The ballet "The Corsair" was, how
ever. from an artistic point of view,
far superior TO the ordinary perform
ance one sees in London. The dane
Ing was worthy OF the best traditions
of the Russian ballet, and the music.
especially in the shipwreck scene, was
worth coming long way to hear.
Among the spectators was Lenines
successor. Kalenin, who sat in black
clothes, but not In evening dress, in a
box level with the stage and under
meath one of the grand ducal boxes.
Several other Communist leaders were
with him. Among them | could easily
distinguish the pale face and jet black
beard OF Karakhan, the People s
Commissar for Foreign Affairs or
rather the Acting Commissar. stand
ing beside Kalinin's chair was Ostro-
gradsky. the director Of the Great
Theater The imperial box and the
grand ducal boxes were filed with
women and children. probably from
orphanages or from the families OF
commissars.
