Plan by Which Newspaper Men
Will lie Admitted,
Notwithstanding That the Law
Says They Shall Not,
And Prohibits the Publishing of the
Details of the Exe -ution— The Two
Reporters to Be Sworn as Jurors in
Order to R-lteve the Prison Officials of
All Responsibility.
Albany, N. Y., April 11.—There was
a consultation of the prison authorities
here Wednesday, to perfect the arrange
ments for the electrocution of Keramler
at Auburn prison. Warden Dunstan,
superintendent Lathrop and Doctor
Charles McDonald, commissioner of
lunacy, discussed the matter at length.
The admission of representatives of the
press was the hardest part to arrange.
The intiic'ing a new method of capital
punishment prohibits the publishing of
the details of the execution. The pres
sure, however, of newspaper men,
scientists and doctors is so great that it
was decided to go so far as the law
would allow.
Two newspaper men -one represent
ing the United Press and the other the
Associated Press—will be admitted.
They are to be selecteu at the headquar
ters in New York, and must be proven
beyound doubt to be newspaper men,
and not interested in the success of any
company supplying electricity for any
purpose. The o iicials are keenly on
their guard to prevent the admission of
any representative of the Westinghouse
company, whose svstem is to bo used,
lest some hitch may occur and color be
[ given to the points that company raised
■ against electrocution in the appeal of
| the Kemmler case.
j The two press men will be sworn as
I jurors, and if the newspapers publish the
details'of the execution the warden and
prison officials will not be the ones that
will break the law. It is on this theory
that they are admitted. Among the
other ten jurors will be Elbridge T. (jerry
and his associates, who were on the com
mission who drafted the law, Referee
Tracy Becker and ('ayuga county's judge
and district attorney. Beside i these
there will he five assistants to Harold
Brow n the executioner.
THOUGHT SHE WAS DIVORCED,
But After Ten Yearn Discovered That
She Was Mistaken.
Indianapolis, IApril 11.—Judge
Walker, of the superior court, yesterday
granted a divorce to Mrs. Mary Brown,
wife of Allen G. P. Brown, a prominent
citizen of Brooklyn, N. Y., on proof of
abandonment. Mrs. Brown told tiie fol
lowing story upon the witness stand:
Ten years ago she came to this citv to
visit her mother, she and Brown having
been married a short time previously in
Washington City. For a while site and
her husband corresponded, but gradual
ly his letters became cold and distant,
and the husbands greeting became
“Dear madam." Eventually she re
ceived from him the information that lie
had secured a divorce from her m Alle
gheny county, Pa., and at her request
forwarded to her a certificate front the
clerk of that county to this fact.
Until a few inontlis ago this certifi
cate was believed to be genuine, but
after nearly ten years Mrs. Brown dis
covered that the certificate was forged,
and that no divorce had ever been pro
cured. She sued for divorce, and
Brown was served with the papers at
his home, hut made no response, and no
one appeared for him when the case was
called before Judge Walker.
