STIELOW I3 SAVED BY GOVERNOR’S PEN Whitman Believes Him Guilty But Is Greatly Perplexed Albany, Whit- an vesterday commuted the sentence Bf Charles Frederick Stielow, who was gentenced to be executed at Sing Sing prison during the week of December 11, to imprisonment for life. Thig is the same sentence which was pro- nounced on Irving Green, brother-in- law of Stielow, who pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree for the same crime for which Stielow Dec. 4.—Gavernor was convicted—the murder of Charles D. | Phelps, a wealthy Orleans county farmer and Margaret Wolcott. his housekeeper, ai West Shelby on March 21, 1915. The case has been before the gover- nor several times since Stielow’s con- viction and has weighed heavily upon his mind. While he still believes that Stleiow is guilty, he at the same time feels that it would not be right to permit his execution if there is the least doubt of the man’'s innocence. The absence in Canada of two persons who, it was asserted at the hearing on the application for commutation before the governor on Wednesday Jast, possessed knowledge that others than Stielow and Green were the mur- derers, it is believed had more to do with the governor’s decision than any other one consideration. “No other criminal case, where clemency has been asked, has per- ‘plexed and distressed me as has this,” Governor Whitman said in a state- ment last night. “The crime, of which the defendant (Stielow) has been convicted, is one of the most atrocious in the history of the state. Two burglars murdered an unarmed man in his home in the dead of the night and added to the hideous- ness of their offense the murder of a defenseless woman fleeing for her life. The intense feeling against the per- petrators of the crime in the com- munity where it was committed natural and is justified. I realize that a governor who interferes with a Judgment of the courts of this state, without good and sufficient cause, is himself committing a lawless act. Belicves Stielow Guilty. “I believe that Stielow is guilty. Perhaps never, In the history of New York, has a man been afforded greater opportunity to establish his jnnocenee, if that be possible. Twelve jurors and ten judges have passed upon this case without one dissenting opinion, indicated or expressed. The is | situation, however, so far as I lable to learn, is unprecedented. am “Another man, under sanctity of an { oath, with all the solemnity possible under the conditions, has confessed that he and not Stielow committed the crime. There is considerable of de- | tail and circumstance in the King con- | fession and in the facts surround- ling it as yet unexplained and to me unaccountable. To be sure the King | | confession has been repudiated and | so has the Stielow confession, with- out which Stielow could not have been convicted. “I believe that King's confession is a lie. T cannot escape the conviction, however, in the light of all that has been presented to me and which was application for clemency after I had | not before me when I denied the last | He was born on April 9, 1847, in the little town of Ortona, in the Abruzzi. From his earliest years he showed a fondness for music, and when he was eleven years old his parents decided that he should make music his life’s work and sent him to the Royal Col- lege aof St. Pietro a Mejella, at Naples, so that he might study the violin under Pinto. In addition, Sir Fran- cesco studied composition under Conti and the aged Mercadante. The latter soon saw in him a pupil of great promise and had him appointed maestrina, or pupil teacher, at a lary of sixty franes a month, on after entering the Royal col- lege Tosti was thrown on his own re- sources, and, finding that his sixty francs a month was inadequate for his granted three reprieves, that there is a possibility, perhaps more than possibility, that this defendant is not guilty. | i | muting his sentence to imprisonment | for life. The procedure in the courts | has been correct, the action of the | judges on motions for a new trial has been absolutely right. The King con- fession, uncorroborated and repudiat- ed by himself, could not be introduced under our rules of evidence, as has been very clearly set forth by Justice Rodenbeck, but I believe, and I speak from years of experience in the trial of criminal cases, that no jury in this country would have convicted Stielow of murder in the first degree with the King confession before it. “I commute the sentence of court to imprisonment for life.” Another murder case which will re- quire consideration by the governor, is that of Stanley J. Millstein, who killed a policeman in Utica. An application for clemency will be argued before the governor on Tuesday. The governor will be asked if he considers it proper to execute a youth of eighteen years who committed the crime when only seventeen. TOSTI PASSES ON INHIS NATIVE LAND Famous Composer Had Hard Fight To Win Recognition the Paris, Dec. 4.—The death in Rome of Sir Francesco Paolo Tosti, com- poser and writer of songs, 1is an- nounced in a dispatch to the Havas Agency. For many vears Tasti was one of the most picturesque figures in the world of music. Although he had made his home in London since 1880, when he was called there to serve asg singing master to the roval family, he re- turned to his native country to die. il “I think T am doing right in com- ! needs, he migrated to Ancona, where | he gave lessons at 40 centlmes an hour. Here he suffered hardships, for his living was meagre, and he had difficulty in obtaining the bare neces- sities of life. For many months bread and cheese and oranges were his only food. Then his health failed, and he returned to his native town of Or- tona, where he was ill for nearly a | year. During his 1illness he spent many hours in study and composition Always in his mind there were snatches of melody, and when he re- turned to Rome to resume work he took with him two songs, “Non m’ama piu” and “Lamento d’Amore,” which he had composed. Publishers would not accept his songs, so he finally saved enough money to have Afty copies of them printed at his own ex- pense. These he sold quickly, more were ordered, and both sangs became popular. Tostl sold hoth copyrights for $100 each, ‘Wins Recognition.

This was a great success. Tosti sang several of his own compositions and the ballad “Eravi un Yecchio sene,” especially written for him by Sgambati, with such depth and tenderness that Princess Margherita di Savoja, later queen of Italy, appointed him her music master then and there. This appointment led to one, that of keeper of the musical archives of the Italian court. Tosti, however, for years had desired to get to England, where he felt that he would find a more appreciative pub- lic. In 1875 he made his first visit there, taking with him his song “For Ever and Ever.”” This he affered to a number of publishers, all of whom refused it, saying that it “was im- possible.” Finally, in despair, he ‘managed to have it introduced into an operetta at the Globe theater, where it was sung superbly by Miss Violet Cameron. The song immediately be- came the rage, and his other songs were accepted by the public with equal favor. Among these were: “That Day,” ‘Verrel Morir and «Aprile,”” while “Good-bye, “The Venetian Song” and “Beauty’s Eyes” became popular all over the world, some of these ballads have run through more than a dozen editions and have been translated into eleven languages. Tn 1880 Tosti was appointed music master to the royal family, and numbered among his pupils Prince Leopold, Queen Alexandra, Princess Mary of Battenberg, Princess Louise, the Duchess of Argyle, and the Prin- s of Wales. Tosti owed much of success in England to the late Duchess of Cambridge. Tor more than twelve vears, during which she was an invalid, he sang and played to her and she used to say that his sweet singing did more for her than all the medicines in the world. She helped him in many ways to attain popu- larity, both as a composer and teacher., He was noted for his kindliness and sympathy and was entirely unspoiled by success. He refused to be patron- ized, though, and it is told of him that a very fashionable woman called on him one day and told him that she in- tended singing two of his songs at a concert to which all Gelgravia was bidden. She informed the master that she had called to try the songs over with him. He told her that if she wanted lessons he would be glad to accept her as a pupil. She then in- formed him that she would not sing the songs. Tostl at once advanced toward her with outstretched hands and said with a smile: “Madam. T thank you sincerely for that favor.” Tosti was made a Commander of the Victorian Order in 1906, and two years tater was made a Knight Commander by the late King Bdward, a better FOR SALE—That classy bungalow | in Stanley Quarter, Field Stone fire place and chimney, all hardwood floors.
