GIRL OF 14 TRIES TO ELOPE STEPMOTHER TRIES TO POISON GIRL Governor General Must Think It Over ASKED TO PARDON ANGEMNO NAPOLITANO; HE SAYS IT'S TOO EARLY YET TO CONSIDER—IN THE MEANTIME PETI TIONS POUR IN. (By United Press Leased Wire.) SAUI/T STE. MARIE, Ont., June 18.—The case of Mrs. An griino Napolltano, under sentence of death for killing her husband, Will not be considered by an extraordinary session of the Ontario parliament. i A. C. Boyce, member of parliament, who had interested hlm isclf In the woman's case, when he learned that she was about to become a mother, today received a letter from Minister of Justic* Aylesworth, saying that it was impossible to have the lawmakers convened. Boyce had written asking for clemency for the woman. Aylesworth's reply also said that the governor general would not consider the case so far in advance of the execution. The above dispatch over the United Press wires shows that al ready the friends of humanity are stirring up matters In Canada to free Angellno Napolitano, the Italian -woman who killed her hus band to save her honor, and who huist now die by hanging for that act as soon as her child is born. The question is fast becoming a national question, rather an in ternational one, for Canada's peo ple are as much stirred up as those In the United States. Already It Is seen that official red tape may prevent any action— red tape which to officials of all governments sometimes seems so much more important than human life or our belief in law and Jus tice. For such an execution would chock our beliefs In justice. That A jury could have sentenced the Woman to death under these cir cumstances la all but Inconceiv able to many. "How could the Jury have done this?" The question is asked again and again by the Tacoma people who are sending petitions lor the woman's reprieve or par don. The number of petitions from Tacoma and the surrounding towns is mounting up every hour. It was prophesied in yesterday's paper that the number would reach 1,000 by night. IV only reached 900. but at noon today It had passed 1,250.
