 Mrs. Josephine Brown said her daughter told her she is tired of the coarse cotton and gingham clothing she mas been forced to wear since her confinement to Sing Sing prison and would like to wear her silk garments once again if only for her execution.
 Wish Hardly Likely.
 Warden Lawes, however, indicated the condemned woman would not be granted her wish. He explained the family would have nothing to say about what she would wear and that probably Mrs. Snyder would don for her execution the same kind Of gingham house dress she has been wearing except that the color would be black.
 Mrs. Brown, following visit to her daughter during which both were said to have wept, told the warden her daughter was resigned to death.
