ALLENTOWN CAT EXPERT
AS RETRIEVER OF GAME

ALLENTOWN, n. j.. March 2S.-
When Edward H. Hendrickson, OF
Allentown, shoots birds, it is cat
instead of dog that does the re-
trieving. No dog was ever so clever
as Fred a year-old cat, says Its
owner.
Let Hendrickson saunter out with
his pun under his arm and Fred
ia at his heels. When Hendrickson
levels the gun. the cat is instantly
alert and so quick is the feline
hunter that it will frequently leap
into the air and catch the falling
bird before it touches the ground,
The cat apparently knows the diff.
ference between sparroWs and
came-birds. While it will lay q
quail at its masters feet, it will
quickly carry sparrow to cache,
hiding all its masters shoots and
returning later to feast upon the
dead birds.

Mrs. Saldano was given the oath

sci objected when she was placed on
the stand, to her giving her testimony
through an interpreter. They stated
that she had talked to the McDaniels

that she was competent to give her
testimony in English. Mrs. Saldano
stated that her knowledge of English

ENGLAND STIRRED UP
Crowds Denounce Judge
and Jury as Guilty Of
Murder.
BY the Associated Press.

London Jan. 9.-Frederick Bywaters
was hanged in Pentonville prison at
o'clock today for the alleged murder
of Percy Thompson on October last.
= Mrs. Thompson was hanged a few
minutes later in Holloway Jail.
The executions took place without
demonstrations on the part of the i'm
mense crowd on the outside of, both
jails. Women marched in drizzling rain
before the walls Of Holloway Jail car
rying placards inscribed: 'If these are
hanged the judge and jury are also
guilty of murder" and Murder cannot
abolish murder"
Bywaters who made ar eleyenth-hour
attempt to save Mrs. Thompson by a
Confession" met his death calmly.
Mrs. Thompson, who collapsed last
evening. had to be carried to the scat
fold. She tainted.
Not Guilty, She Said.
Bywaters claimed that Mrs. Thomp-
son mad 1ad no part III tne hllllhs VI
her husband and insisted that he had
slain Thompson in self defense. The
woman, in last interview with her
family, assured them that she went to
death with no guilt on her soul.
The executions of Bywaters and Mrs.
Thompson brought to an end one OF
England's most sensational murder
cases since the Crippen affair and, in
cidentally, provided the first instance
of capital punishment of a woman in
England for fifteen years.
Percy Thompson, shipping clerk,
was stabbed to death in dark street
near his home in Ilford, London sub
urb, October 4, last, while returning
from a theater with his wife. When
found, the body was propped against a
wall, and his beautiful young wife was
kneeling nearby in hysterica. condi-
ton.
Alleged Confession Read.
/. Upon the strength Of her story to the
police. Bywaters, 20-year-old steamship
steward. was arrested two days later and
accused jointly with Mrs. Thompson of
cffrfder. The police submitted at the
hearing an alleged confession in which
Eywaters appeared as declaring his love

for Mrs. Thompson had prompted the
act.
Later, letters were produced in which
Mrs. Thompson, addressing Bywaters
in the most endearing terms, urged him
to study the effect of various poisons
on the human system and told Of
bungling several attempts on her hus-
bands life by introducing various sub
stances into his food. One letter told
of using powdered glass from three cleo
trio light bulbs but with no effect.
1t was shown during the trial that
Bywaters had been a close friend Of
the Thompsons for some time. BY
waters himself declared on the stand
that he had seen Thompson strike his
wife, and he pleaded that in attacking
the husband he did not intend to kill,
but to chastise. him. The evidence
showed that Bywaters and Mrs,
Thompson had been together the after
noon before the attack.
Man Did Not Finch.
The jury, which included one woman,
returned verdict of guilty against both
defendants on December IL and SEN
fences of death were Immediately pro-
nounced. Mrs. Thompson collapsed in
the prisoners dock, moaning: Il am
not guilty, / am not guilty."
But Bywaters did not even finch al
though proclaiming his innocence.
The lord chief justice on December
81 dismissed the appeals Of the con-
demned couple and appeals for clemency
were carried to the home office, the
last resort, but without avail.
Petitions in favor of Bywaters were
signed by more than a million persons,
but comparatively few came out for
Mrs. Thompson. Public sympathy for
the man was based largely on the belief
that he was the unwilling tool Of the
woman, who was eight years his senior.
