MEMNER OF THR SCRIPPS NORTHWEST LES QUR OF NEWSPAPERS, Telegraph News Rervice of the United Prese Association Entered at the ~estaftice, Seattle, Wash. a2 second close matter, Published by The Star Publishing Company every evening except Sunday This Is the Woman They’re _ Going to Hang! HEY’RE going to hang Mrs. Bessie Wakefield in Con- ‘ necticut because, they say, she helped Jim Plew kill her husband. Nobody knows whether the woman really shared that t erime*with the murderous scoundrel, Plew. That is, nobody 3 r nder * except Bessie, and Plew, and God. Maybe she did, under { the potent criminal influence of Plew But here are § things about Bessie that there’s no doubt about She loved her children and sacrificed for th everything that a woman can give She tolerated Plew, because he was kinder to them than their own father. She herself never knew kindness. And she probably told the truth when she said to the matron of the New Haven prison: “The months I have spent here, waiting for my trial, thave been the happiest part of my life. For here, for the first time, people have been kind to me.” She had a a birthday while she was there. the matron brought her a bunch of flowers she burst into tears and cried for an hour. It was the first time anybody ‘ had ever given her a birthday present. She had her picture taken, in prison, wearing a pretty white shirtwaist. You have seen the picture in this news paper. THAT SHIRTWAIST WAS BORROWED FROM THE MATRON. BESSIE NEVER IN HER LIFE HAD A DECENT SHIRTWAIST. She has written letters from prison to that matron and to her mother, making no complaint over her own fate, but THROBBING WITH MOTHER LOVE and solicitude for her children. She is so tender hearted that she could never be induced to kill a chicken for the family dinner. All cruelty and bloodshed revolted her. And this is the woman that Connecticut is going to hang by the neck until dead. If the officials that have power to save her life permit this legal murder are they any better than Bessie Wakefield? OR AS GOOD? And when CALIFORNIA CLERGYMEN are to take a five days’ course In ag- rleuiture a college.
