of her husband from December 20 the
dato llxetl In tlio wntetioo till February
28 Tho governor t y ho does this In
order to glvo the stato legislature nn

punishment In its application aud adds
thru ns far as ho li concerned tho ca Is
closed and tho woman must suffer
tlio penalty of her crime on
the day fixed unhat In tho mean
time tbo law Htmlli havo boon changed
Thu governor hijm that it was n clear case
of murder and that he can ilnd no reason
tor Intelferenco with tho penalty except
tbo sex Ot the condomod which the law
docs not taku into account Iloniysi
Tbo evidence shows tho killing was most
brutsl and atrooloua In Its character
Urtelly ktnted the fwU uatttfaotorlly es
tablished aro as follows
The family consisted of deceased and
Mis DnwM daughter Mary aged ulno
teen years n son George aged ten years
and n ncphow Frank Hates aged four
teen years A > qiianolbad occurred on
the morning of the homicide hntwoan tho
deceased nnd tho defendant at thu break
fast table Tho deceased w still
ut tho table and durlug tho quarrel
ot words tho diifondaut went Into
another roomainMook n loaded revolver
Whlob was inure and putting It under
Un apron returned nnd whispered to tbo
boystogooutof doors which they did
leavlnu hurtelf her daughter Mary and
thu deceased In the room Mary than
placed a rupo Around her fathers nook
whllu ho was at the table and the defend
ant tired thu roiolvor once or
twice at him wounding him
and hu fell < over aldeways in
Irs chair The defendant being unablo to
mako tho revolver go off again Called to
her nephew Frank who oamo Into thu
house together with tbo boy George
whereupon tho prlsouer gavo tho revolver
to her nephew nnd under threats of kill
ing him compelled Dim to lire It off two
or three times nnd tho deceasedboliiahlt
by the shots rolled off lit chair
upon thu lloor and then Mm seized an nxu
and lilt her husband on tbo head with It
aud continued bitting bltn on thu nock
tiutll sbo chopped his head off Hho then
caused thu head as well sb tbo body to bu
taken Into tbo parlor nnd during that day
and evening the body was cut up with an
nxo and was burned In n stove
Sbo threatened to kill tho boys It
hey told what had occurred
During the evening Mrs muz and Mary
were nmuulng themselves by playing
checkers In an adjoining room to that In
which the murder had been committed
thus showing thdr unconcern and tho
titter lack ot feeling of thu whole Inlnlly
Mrs Dru bad pruvJously madu thrusts
against the deceased and boasted
that slm would bo rid of
liliu somo day These and other
facts almost too horrible for description
mark the case a plnla ono of dollburato
and premeditated murder Thorn Seems
to bo scarcely a single mitigating clictim
stance Tho daughter Mary aided and
assisted her molhur In the murdor and
after tho conviction of her mother
she pleaded guilty to murder
In tho second degree which plea on ac
count ot her youth the fact that she was
probably acting under the Inllueneo of
her mother and other circumstances was
accepted by tho district attorney and sho
was sentenced to tbo states prison tot
life
