the United Statem Circuit Court : Be, /ON'T BE HANGED NEXT WEDNESDA _ Mana Valentina from Being Executed on Gallows in Hack- _ ensack Jail. “MOVE MADE BY LAWYER WILL ACT AS STAY. ‘Acting-Gov. Wakelee Is Inter- sted and Will Hold Confer- ence with Vice-Chancellor Magie To-Morrow. ‘That an official effort will be made to reconsider the life sentence of Anna .Valentina, condemned to be hung in ‘Hackensack on Wednesday, wan first made certain this afternoon when Sen- ator Wakelee, who is acting as Gov- @rnor of New Jersey during the ab- gence of Governor Murphy, announced} that he would hold n conference with Viee-Chancelior Magie to-morrow morn- ing. Senator Wakeler said that the Board @f Pardons would not be reconvened “to-morrow, as had been reported, He Would not say what the exact nature ‘of his conference with the Vice-Chan- eellor would be. As Acting Governor, however, he has it in his power to grant Mrs. Valentina a reprieve and thereafter call for a reconvention of the Board of Pardons to consider the Justice of commuting the woman's sen- tence to life imprisonment. As Sen- ‘ator Wakelee is a resident of Bergen County it is hoped by those who are urging the commutation of the death penalty that he will be persuaded by “thls constituents to adopt clemency tn + the woman's caee. In any event it is unitkely that the woman will be hanged on Wednesday. Lawyer Chatles J. Peshall, of Jersey City, ts in Trenton and will move in this afternoon for a writ of habeas cor- pus, pending a hearing of argument for ® new trial. If United States Judge Lanning refuses the application the re- fusal will act as a staf, for counsel will immediately appeal from the decision to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, he did some years ago in ® similar case. Thig motion will be made in the United States Court unless assurayces f@re gotten that Acting Gov. Wakelee will Issue a further reprieve when he 1s #worn in again ax acting Governor to- * morrow. There is such a combined movement to save the woman from death that few persous who are acquainted with the situation believe that she will mount the gallows. The Itailans of New York have become interested, and have em- ployed Nathan Kussy. a Newark lawyer, to make one last attempt to sa the ‘woman’ life and have the Board of dons send her to prison for life, ‘ussy has employed three physictann to make an examination of the woman's Mental condition. Mr, Kussy took into the condemned woman's cell with him Dr. P.M. Me- of Newark. The Sheriff refined ‘admit the other two physicians who aud accompanied Mr. Kussy—Dr. A, yAmico and Dr. C.
