Doomed Mother Unconscious
AS Reprieve Stays Death
L a S minute Story
Halls Execution
At Sing Sing

OSSINING, N. Y, June 20
U.N.S0 Ten minutes before
Mrs. Anna Antonio, 28-year-old
mother Of three children, was
scheduled to walk her last mile"
in the death house at Sing Sing
Prison last night, the hand Of
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman, IN
Albany, her. home town, literally
lifted her from the electric chair.
He granted q 24-hour reprteVe
to permit him to investigate q
statement by Vincent Saetta, who
was to have died with Samuel
Feraci and Mrs. Antonio, in
which Saetta absolved the woman
of all blame for the insurance
murder" of her husband, Saliva
tore, in Castleton, N. j., two
years ago.
No more tense situation and de-
nouement ever trickled out from
the gray walls of Sing Sing. So
tight did the emotional coils
draw that Mrs. Antonio tainted
and did not know until more than
an hour after the word had come
that she would not have to die at
once.
Even Warden Lewis E. Lawes
was caught off guard by the
dramatic sequence Of events. At
6 o'clock last night ell prepare
lions had been made for the exc
cution.
Mrs. Antonio, Saetta and Feraci
had given up hope, prepared to
die.
The two men ate their last. sup
per. Mrs. Antonio refused food
or water, saying she wanted to
pray.
At 1915 Saetta sent word that
he must see Warden Lawes on
something most very important"
At 1:19 a. m. the warden an
nounced:
81 am authorized to release n
short statement by Governor
Lehman. Here it is:
II have directed the warden
Of Sing Sing Prison to post
pOne the executions Of Mrs.
Anna Antonio, Sam Feraci and
Vincent Saetta until Friday,
June 20, to study and consider
the long statement made by
Vincent Saetta just before IL
o'clock tonight, the general sub
stance of which has been re-
peated to me over the telephone

can't I? Why can't -" She kept
this up in a piercing tone until finally
her mother said, "All right then,
take it and stop your noise. Now
don't get it dirty"
If Lois had not been so tired she
would have realized how foolish her
own procedure was.
She had said no" from force of
habit. To tell the truth, she did not
care much whether the child had the
box or not. She knew she would not
really wreck it. And when Ann kept
on whining she gave 1t to her rather
than to have to listen to the whining
voice Ann had been pretty sure her
mother would give in. She had learn
ed that if she kept at thing long
enough her mother would say yes"
She always kept wary eye on her
mother to detect the first signs Of
wavering When she saw those she
usually went at whining with fresh
vigor because she knew she would get
what she wanted.
Lois was going to have to spend a
great many hours later convincing lit
tie Ann that when her mother said
no" she meant no." and that no
whining or teasing could make her
change her mind.

i passes the house Of Farmer
Brown. He had just had his first
encounter at night with an automo-
bile. 1t was the case with Peter
Rabbit a little earlier in the evening,
he had been run over without being
hurt. He had been in the middle of
the road and so had escaped the
wheels. Neither Jimmy nor Peter
knew what it was they had en-
countered. 1t was simply monster.
For once in his life Jimmy Skunk had
been thoroughly frightened. And for
almost the first time his self-conh-
dence had been badly shaken.
Are you hurt?" asked Peter anx-

Uncle Ray
Visits in Starland.
New Stars.

TN 1872 there was young man IN
Denmark who had studied to be
a lawyer, but his mind Travelled
4 less to the law than to the stars
His name was Tycho Brahe, ana
he was 26 years of age.
Tycho Brahe lived before the day
of the telescope, but he gave close
study to the heavens just the same
One night he beheld a star in the
Northern sky which he never had seen
before. 1t was in the midst of well
known star group.
We cannot be sure about 1t, but 1t is
easy to suppose that he rubbed his
ewes and asked himself whether he
was dreaming. The next night, how
ever, he saw the new star in the same
place, and night after night he OBJ
served it for a period Of l6 months.
Then it faded away, leaving only its
memory.
Tycho Brahe made a record of what
ne saW-a star which was brighter
and went away.
Tht is just one example of the new
stars which appear in the sky from
time to time-not comets but real
stars. On Winter evening in Febru-
ary, 1901, new star was seen in the
star group known as Perseus. A pho
tograph of that region had been made
the night before, but close study Of
the picture failed to show that the
star had been there.
AS the days passed, the new star in
Perseus grew brighter and brighter
until it sent forth more light than
any other star. Before it lost its
brightness, tests were made to learn
its distance from the earth. These
tests showed that it was SO far away
that light from it would take about
l20 years to reach us.
What story did that new star tell?
We are not certain, but it is quite
likely that far out in space there was
a collision of some sort Two stars
perhaps dead" stars-may have
bumped into each other with such
force as to produce mighty ex-
plosion.
Strike a piece of flint and you will
cause heat, and probably spark as
well. 1t is common for stars to speed
through space at from 10 to Is miles
per second-some go much faster than
that. If two of them, whether burn
ing or burnt out, should strike to-
gether. we could expect them to pro-
duce a flame of mighty size.
That collision, explosion, or what
ever it was, must have taken place
during or about the year 1881, and
then for 120 years the light rays were
on their way TO us.
