STORY C Brother. atement for out after been made THE CRIME, Bkotch of the Murderer and the Dellberate Deed for Which He Dies, New Yonk, May 7.—Public feeling has run higher over the Harris case than over any case involving the execution of a convicted murderer in New York state for many years, and when the governor's decision was re- ceived a string was broken on which there had long been o tension. The fight which he, his relatives and his lawyers have made for his life has been carried to such extremes, only to be met with defeat at every point, that thousands of people who ordinarily give no attention to such matters became partisans. 1t took but a littie time for such news as the governor's decision to travel, and in half an hour it was tho talk of the streets. With the decision, the governor filed a memorandum reviewing the strong points of the ¢ they came to him. It was a matter of comment in this city among those who read the governor's memorandum thut he had scon fit to lay stress in it upon the fact that while Mary Helen Potts was dying. surrourded by her young school friends in the Comstock school, she her eyes and said: “If anybody rl had given this to mo I would think 1 was going to die, but of course, Carl would not give anything to me but what was right.” "o opened but ¢ Convinein Those who had no confidence in expert tes. timony, which was so extensive in the Harris trial, and who were inclined to give Harris the benefit of the doubt because of their lack of confldence in the experts when they read | this quotation from the governor's mem orandum, said that he had seen wivn the same eyes that the jurors and the courts had and had been unable to offset i his mind the several links of direct evidence against Harris for which there was uno refu- tation, Aside from the circumstantial characterof the evidence presented against Harris, the large array of witnesses and counsel, there was auother element in this case and it was this that brought the public into div sympathy between two mothers, one pr ing for justice and vengeance for the death of a beautiful daughter and the other plead- ing, battling and struggling for the lifo of her dear boy, who, she declared with all the mptings of & mother's love, was wnocent of this hideous crime. Mrs. Harris, the mother of the murderer, and Mrs. Potts, the mother of his vietim, have been two of the most conspicuous char- acters in the case. They we friends until the mother of the girl, who knew more of the afMair between her und young Harris than did anybody else, became convinced that her daughter had been mwurdered From that hour she became the quiet, but rsistent avenger, and today Harris might a free man with no suspicion even upon him, had it not been for Mrs. Potts How the Case Was Worked. Mr. Potts was away performing sowe sort of a contract in the south when Helen died. Mrs. Potts, o middie-aged, wmotherly-looking | time. | and 1 she | very convincing to persons of an woman with kindly but firm featurcs, called upon the district avtoruey and told him of thoughts, and he promised to look into it But he could not make progress enough to satisfy the mother of the dead girl. Almost daily she called upon him and she grow im patient under his repeated statoment that he w investigating. He could not tell herall ho had learncd for fear that his flort o find a crime_and fasten it might be mterfered with, She kept going to him, bringing her husband with her after he had urned from the south, and on one of these visits Mr. Potts significantly sald to My Nicoll: 1 am sorry to huve had to trouble you 5o much and take w much of your fiad 1 been here when Helen died and my wife told me what I know now there would been no necd of the law with Carlle ¢is, 1 ean assura yoa, But they waited for the law, and finally Mrs. Potts saw the man whom she believed had killed her daughter indicted. arrested ked up.

Then she re turned to the court. not to give testimony, but to see that the afidavits to disprove that her daughter had been a morphine cater we read.

In short, she was acting under a tremendous nervous strain, yet trying to play consist- ently a part which she had mapped out for nerself When the conviction came she went into a tirade and there was a terrible scene. the conviction only meant that she would redouble her efforts. Ste hounded the news aper ofees, asking that one thing and an other might not be written about her boy This she has continued to do up to this day and probably will continue to do long aftor her boy has paid the penalty of his crime It was sho who got Witliam A. Howe to take the case through the court of appeals, and the defeat met with there could not even discourage her, or if it did_she gave no evi dence of 1t. She visited her son m the Tombs every day when she was not out of the city, and almost invariably would return to report how he was and to ask the news papers to print something in his favor. Left No Stone Unturned. Soon after the defeat in the court of ap- peals she left the city and then was heard from in all parts of the country, as she traveled arouud trying to get afidayits to base the motion fora new trial on. It was she who got and brought to William . Howe that great bunch of afidavits to prove that Helen Potts was a morphine eater, many of them made by people whom Helen had néver known, according to the belief of those who knew her best. Recorder Smythe said that many of these aflidavits were rank perjury, but many were made by women of good aracter, and it has becn a wonder how Mrs. Harris ever got them from them. She was a woman of strong personalivy, though nd in her appeals in her son's behalf, was emotional nature. In every court proceeding except when her son wis last sentenced Then she waited in the lawyers' office for the news. She wanted to be in cou but lier friends fearedd that she would make scene as her health was much broken down Since her son went to Sing Sing she ha labored just hard in his behalf. It w she who got the most important signatu on the wgreat petition for executive clem- ency. She visited Sing Sing and : ent throughout the recent hearing. Broken down in health but still hopeiul, she went a few days ago to her old farm home in North- fleld, Mass., where she roceived the word that hier son’s doom was scaled, then hasteu- 1z back to his side again, Clalms He Is Innocent. When Harris was he was present, first couvicted, he an- nounced that he would never die in the felon’s chair. ~ Since then he has retracted this statement, and frequently has usserted that he would die as the law directed He desired, he said, to have the full responsi bility for the execution of an innocent man rest where it belongs. In spite of this asser- tion, however, extreme precautions have been taken to see that he did not cheat the executioner. His knowledge of cheun: prison officiuls even more alert, even his mother, was allowed nearer than three feet from man, Letters were examined, the paper subjected to chemical tests to ascertain whether it concealed some doadly poison, which hud been absorbed in its texture. The warden even went so far as Lo announ that when the broken hearted mother pressed her last kiss upon her boy's lips, the lips that would soon feel the kiss of death, the mouth would be examined to see that it did not contain a poison and be thus admin istered to prevent the stigma of tho death of a felon from attaching to her son's mem- ory. Physicians were in constant proximity o' the cell of the condemned, veady to res pond at a moment's notice to snatch back from sclf-inflicted death, this poor wreteh that the lnw had claimed as its own History of the Crime. Aud now, a brief resume of the man crime and struggte for life is all that necded to complete the record, except execution, which is expectod tomorrow. Harris is a slim t, fine-featured young man of years. He wis born in ‘Glens Falls, N. Y. in September, 1569, but even his parents seem to be unadie to tell the day of the month. He came of fine family, his grandfather on his mother's side being Dr. Benjumin W, MeCready, quite r ity ¢ ceased, who was one of the most eminent physicians in the country His carly lifo was o peculiar onc father and mother were not congenial each other and separated. The boy, Ci lyle, went to live with_his mother in Brook Iyn, and on his trial it was developed that his mother denied him the companionship of the boys of his age in the neighborhood and that his playmates were mostly girls The family was poor and Carlyle began to earn some money as a book agent. Then he ook « clerkship and finally joined o second- class theatrical road company and spent two years playing minor parts. It was then, when he was only 19 years old, that he be gun to study medicine, probably through some offer made to him by Dr. McCready, for he went to the college of physicians and surgeons with which Dr. McCready was closely identified, and lived with his grand father. All accounts agroe that he was a particularly bright student Where He Met Iis Vietim. It was in the sumimer of 158 that he went to live at Ocean Grove, N. J., with his mother, and his conduct thero was bad. He kept o place where young men gambled and drank. In August of that year, s month be. fore he was 20 years old, hé was introduced to Mary Helen Potts. The girl was 18 years old and lived at Ocean Grove with her father, mother and little brother. She was a pretty girl and Harris took a fancy to her. According to thoe evidence on the trial he was in the habit of taking a fancy to pretty girls. He visited her often and his mother and brothers became ac- quainted with the Potts family. Carlyle Harris and Mary Helen Potts spent most of the summer in cach other's company. He came back to New York in the fall to re- sume his medical studies. ‘The Potts family came here to live, too.

She complained that they made her feel worse. She told her wother that she had a good mind to th the fourth one away.

She had dreamed that Carlyle was with her. Soon she began to moan and was unconscious. Drs. Fowler and Bauer were called to at- tend ner. She'died the following morning. () Harris was sent for. He secmed to Tittle for his wife's death, but kept insisting that the medicine he had'given her was all right. He was told to go to the drug stor and find out. He went out of doors. The snce showed that he did not go near the though he returaed to say he had here The apparent preparations made to clear himself of susy fusal to permit the girl to be buried under his name and_the conflicting stories he told used suspicion to be dirccted toward him- self. He was indicted on May 13, brought to trial in January, 152, William Pearse, John A. Tavlor and Har! Davison to defend him. The defence was almost wholly to show that the girl did not die of morphine poisoning. Experts were on the stand ' for days. After deliberating an hour and twenty minutes a verdict of murder inthe first dogree was returned. Har was sentenced to die on March 21, 1592, To Secure n New Trial, Hrrris took William F. Howe for his counsel then. The judges of the court of appeals unanimously afifrmed the con in one of the strongest decisions ever written by Judge Gray. The fraitless proceedings for a new trial which Recorder Smythe denied are so recont as to be familiar. In these proceedings the defense abandoned its former ground and set up that the dead girl was in the habit of taking morphine und that the dose which killed her was self- administercd. Harris made a long speech 'to the court just before he was seotenced to die on the weel beginning May 8. He was taken to Sing Sing on March 23, Since that time his friends have been circulating petitions all over the state asking the governor forex ccutive clemency, which has now been de- nied and the governor even went so far as to_appoint a commission to hear evidence which the defense promised to produce to substantiate their claim that Mary Helen Potts was addicted to the use of morphine. The commission reported that if Helen Potts took morphine, it was medicinally and prescribed, and on this report the governor severed the last thread that bound Carlyle Harris to the hope of life, of Her Murderer.
