MRS. STONE SENTENCED TO
EIGHTEEN YEARS OF
IMPRISONMENT

Continuing his fight to win freedom
for Mrs. Hattie V. Stone, who began ar
eighteen year sentence in the House O
Correction Saturday.lon charge o.
poisoning her son last June, Harold E.
Cobourn. her attorney. annouced he
would take the case of the Havre de
Grace woman to the Court of Appeals.
Mr.. Cobourn said an appeal from the
ruling of the Circuit Court for Harfor d
County probably would be filed this
week. Approximately dozen excep-
tons taken by the defense to rulings
made by Judge Walter w. Preston at
Mrs. Stone trial will form the basis for
the appeal, Mr.. Cobourn explained.
When Judge Preston pronounced the
sentence for second degree murder on
Mrs. Stone in the Circuit Court at Bel
Air the prisoner tainted.
Judge Preston had asked her whether
she had any statement to make before
the sentence was passed, and Mrs. Stone
said; 81 haven't got justice"
Mrs. Stone had been denied a new
trial when she was ordered to stand up
and be sentenced.
In the arguments on the new trial
motion, w. Worthington Hopkins,
State Attorney, said Mrs. Stone mar
|rowly escaped being convicted of first
degree murder by the jury that heard
her case.
Eleven of the jurors, TIE prose-
|cutor explained, voted for conviction
of murder in the first degree, while
one stood for acquittal. The second
degree verdict was a compromise to
satisfy that juror, Mr.. Hopkins said.
Mrs. Stone was removed to Baitl-
more from the Jail at Bel Air, where
she had been a prisoner since her ar
rest, June IL. She was taken to the
Penitentiary and then to the House
OF Correction.
Although she was sentenced to
the Penitentiary as a formality, no
provisions in that prison are made
for women, and transfer papers to
the House of Correction were made
out. She was assigned work in the
garm9nt shop OF the latter lnstitu-

TWO MANAGERS AND OFFICERS
 ARE ELECTED
Alaska Historical Society Holds Annual Meeting
 Here Last Night

At the annual meeting of the Alaska Historical Society. held last night in Council Chambers, J. r. Anderson and W. E Britt, whose terms had expired, were reelected 10 be members of the Board of Managers. Mrs. Louise Norton was ele te to succeed Capt. George s. Whitney, resigned.
 All of the present officers were re-elected-Karl Theile, Vice-Presi- dent. John Reck, Secretary and Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff, Secretary Gov. George A. Parks, as chief executive of the Territory, is Ex- Officio president of the Society.
 Capt. Whitney, who is now re- siding in California, was unani- mously ele te d as an honorary member of the organization. The Secretary was asked to write him in appreciation of his interest and continuous service for the benefit of the Association. Capt. Whitney was a charter member.
 Secretary Kashevaroff's annual report indicated the -Society's fi- nances to be in splendid shape. It has cash balance of $1,402.23 on hand. The sale of descriptive book lets. issued by it, was declared to have been very satisfactory. Up to January l, last, total of S7O7 had been received from that source.
 During the past year the Socie- ty has. in quiet way, furnished much information on historical matters to various institutions in the States. It has also acquired some very fine specimens and val uable historical books for the Ter ritorial Museum and Library.
 Secretary Kashevaroff re m- mended the publication of a pam phlet dealing with the unveiling at Sitka last year of a monument commemorating the raising of the American Flag there on october IS, 1867. This was left in the hands of the Board of Managers. No action was taken on the re- quest of Ketchikan people for the organization of a branch of the Society. The bylaws of the or ganization expressly grant power to the Board of Managers to grant charters to local branches so ac- ton by the membership was not necessary.
 The Society contemp]ates a mem bership drive in the near future. A committee on membership com posed of Mesdames Norton and Drake and Miss Ann Coleman, was appointed by President Parks.
