WOMAN MUST HANGS ~ AMOGE WONTSAVE HER * “Vice-Chancellor Magie Refuses to Con- i sent to the Reconvening of the Court that Sentenced Anna Valentina, Al- though Gov. Murphy Is Willing. duced to change his opinion, Whe: change my decision.” Thus again was the death warrant of the condemned Italian woman officially coountersigned. The delegation’ which sought to secure a now lense of life for the woman composed Prosecutor Kos- ter, who presented the case of the State ageinst Mrs. Valentina; Sheriff Soley, who has the unpleasant duty of secing that the law's decree is observed; Sen- ator Wakelee, and County Clerk Ramsey, each of whom had familiarized himself with the facts of the murder for which Mrs. Valentina is to hang. They returned to Hackensack to-day Gisappointed, but were careful to con- eal the failure of their mission of mercy from the woman. ‘Tive Sacrament Administer: Anna Valentina, doomed to die on the gallows next We day, received the blessed sacrament in her gloomy cell in tho Hackensack Jail to-day, Father John Lambert, of St. Mary's Church, the condemned woman's sole consoler, administered the rite and came away from the darkened cell in tears. Heretofore Father Lambert has pre- served an optimism that was infectious. It had even pervaded the cell of the doomed Anna Valentina, but an hour before the administration of the sacra- ment her Father confessor had hoped to save the woman from the ignominy of a death on the gollows—New Jersey's form of capital punishment—but the reception at the jail of a legal docu- ment, signed by the Governor of the Btate and delivered into the hands of Sherift Soley, put an end to all hope. It was Anna Valentina’s death war- rant, Hanged by the neck.until you are dead,’ was the sentence of the court, when Mrs. Valentina was adjudged gullty of the fiendish murder of Rosa Balza. at Lodi, on March 10, and thus will the Court's decree be carried out at 160 o'clock Wednesday morning. There is much that Js brutal tn the ofhcial announcement “hanged by the neck until you are dead, ‘Wednesday morning, June 15, at 10 o'clock.” Gov. Murphy had refused to interfere; the Court of Pardons decided that no pardon could be granted—Anna tna must die. Without mon * friends eave the good priests without ho have man she once loved and for love she had committed a crime for which her life Is to pay the penalty, Ye Italian, murderass is powerless to appeal to the Court of Appeals and Frrors—the court of last resort in the State. No Chance Is Left. Ter lawyers. Demarest and Dedaun, have struggled and fought for her life from the first, but there was little hope from the outset, for the now condemned woman proclaimed her guilt, admitted the murder of Rosa Salza and exclaimed with incomprehensible fiendisness, "1 ain glad I killed Rosa Salza, for she tor- tured me." “It is difcult to comprehend the wo- man’s attitude In view of her crime,” aid Lawyer Milton Demarest to an Evening World reporter to-day. “Until Xhis very hour she has resigned herself to the knowledge that she remoyed ffom her path one of whom she was fealous, one she hated, But of the man In the case—he for whom she struggled, vielded up her very womanhood and loved—ot him she has no reproaches to offet “T asked her to-day, ‘Shall | send for Michael Corlucei? You may wish to see him _betor ‘s*Before I die?’ almost demanded the woman resolutely. ‘Then she added, ‘No 1 do net care to see Corlucci. It ts bet ter he should not come to me, I am prepared to die.’ “Anna Valentina left no legal bridges behind her after killing Rosa Salza," continued the lawyer. ‘After plunging, @ keen-edged and pointed stiletto-like knife into the body of Rosa Salza sev- enteen to twenty tmes—the surgeons neyer could accurately estimate the actual number of wounds—the woman surrendered herself to the authorities, She produced the blood-stained knife as evidence against herself, and repeated time and time again that she had avenged herself by taking the life of her rival. She Confeased Repentegly. “Even with this reiterated confession we were forced by the law to go to trial, and on the stand Anna Valen- tina admitted the killing of Rosa Salza and recited the details harrowingly. Not defending herself, the twelve men in the jury box had no alternative. Mur- der in the first degree was their ver- ict, “Untess something unforseen occurs, the woman must expiate her crime on the gallows. It is sad, revolting that the life of a woman healthy in mind and body must thus be taken by the hand of the law; but such is the State's decree. I say healthy in mind, for Mrs, Valentina is inteHigent. If her mind was inflamed by jealousy and hatred when she raised her hand to murder to-day this woman is mentally sound. No defense of insanity could be interposed successfully, in her behalf. If, however, any honorable scheme looking toward her (a mmuntcated with, the Vice-Chi 1y opposed to reconvening the court for the p: other chance for her life. “Nothing,” he said, “can convince me that the sentence of death in the case of Anna Valentina was not justified by the facts. 1 will not administered to her, forsaken by the} whote | To save ‘Anna Valentina from ignominious death on the gallows, a @legation of Hackensack officials called upon Gov. Murphy to-day to plead for a rehearing of the case of the condemned woman by the Court of Pardons. Gov. Murphy expressed himself as willing to reconvene the court providing Vice-Chancellor Magie, of Trenton, could be in- yell clared that he e of there {s no further respite. Repugnant it must be to the public, I regret that the course of the law is inevitable, Mrs. Valentina musi dle.’ The death watch over the condemned woman was established to-day at sun- rise. ‘Two women keepers, who will attend the doomed murderess until she 1s led to the gallows in the Hackensack prison yard, will be her constant at- tendants until the fatal hour. They are Mrs. Mary Longstreet and Mrs. Julie Eng! of Ridgefield Park, who were selected by Sheriff Soley. Mrs, Longstreet is not unknown to Anna Valentina.

March at Heavy Cost. despatches here agree that the tivities of Kuroki's army are increas- ing rapidly. Four large bodies of troops are aring the roads to the west and northwest leading to the railroad. While all official reports show Japan- ene successes, it is known that their casualties have been large and that the westward march has been made at a heavy cost of men. Tt Is suggested by the Daily Mail that Gen, Kuroki has been “waiting to see whether the tortoise could not be in- duced to put out Its head," or, in other words, to see whether Gen. Kuropatkin would not make a mavement to support Port Arthur. It now seems that the Ruestan general has abandoned such an intention in view of his inadequate force, but he hes run coneiderable risk by sending some ten thousand men"to ‘the south of Kaichau, who must be in great danger if the Japanese press their advance. Much, however, depends on the weath- er and the state of the Manchurian roads, It has taken the Japanese more then five weeks to advance ‘om = th Yalu to Slamataa, a distance of sixty miles, and to land two or three addl- tional armies, or some one hundred and fifty thousand men, but now that thelr main force has been disembarked, if the rain holds off, their advance should be much more rapid.
