Each Of the vases was carved from

BRITISH HOME OFFICE
WON'T STAY EXECUTION
Man and Woman Convicted OF Murder
Must Die Unless Pardoned by
King

London, Jan. 5.-(By the Associat
ed Press The British home office TO-
day declined to grant a reprieve il
the cases of Mrs. Edith Thompson
and Frederick Bywaters, recently con.
victed and sentenced to death for the
murder of Percy Thompson. the WON.
| ans husband. Consequently the two
| will be hanged on Tuesday, January
O.
The executions will take place al
the same hour, but in separate places.
Mrs. Thompson will be hanged in Hol-
loway gaol and Bywaters in Penton-
vile prison. When Mrs. Thompson
goes to the gallows it will be the first
execution of a woman in England for
IL years.
The king still has power to over
ride the edict of the courts and of the
home office on the advice of his minis
ters, but his intervention in such a
situati would be unprecedented.
Public sentiment in recent years has
turned against such executions, but
no great public sympathy has been
shown for the beautiful woman of 30,
who, the testimony showed, captvated
the heart of a mere youth, and
through cunning innuendo. brought
him to the point of staying her hus-
band that they might be free to pur-
sue their affair unmolested.
Numerous people however has ask
cd that she be reprieved because of
her sex. Nearly a million people sign
ed petitions to the home office asking
that Bywaters be reprieved on account
of his youth and mitigating circum-
stances.
