KISSTIMMEF, Fia,, Sept. 13.—That the body of Sister Sadie Marchant, slain at her own request by Egbert Gillette and Ellzabeth Sears, fellow membera of the Shaker cult near here, will be exhumed was assured to-day when It was learned that Gillette buried the body on his farm. Gillette stated to-day that Sister Sadie died Aug. 22, but the authorities were only recently notified. Sister Elizabeth Sears, held with Gil- lette on a charge of chloroforming Sis- ter Sadie Is seventy-four years of age. With calm resignation, the two meek Shakers to-day face a charge of mur- der for, as they say, “relleving the racking agony of a dying sister with chloroform.” Sister Elizabeth Sears and Brother Egbert B, Gillette have no apologies to make for their deed, Calmly they have told the authorities that when the wrenching pain of death by con- sumption attacked the disease-ravaged frame of Sister Sadie L. Marchant they were unable to withhold the drug that gave her peace. When the dying woman begged to be taken out of misery, the defense says, her sympathetic friends admtnistered the chloroform, stilled the convulsiv wrestling with pain, and allowed the spirit to pass from the body” quietly, painlessly. GREETED BY SHAKERS AS THEY LEFT JAIL. “Before God and men, I believe that we did exactly right,” declared Brother Gillette to-day, and the soft voiced Shaker woman beside him, without a tremor of agitation, echoed the bellef. Never before have the members of the little Shaker community at Ashton appeared in court. Regarded as the personification of quiet, peaceful right- eousness, they have the universal re- TO EXHUME BODY OF SHAKER SLAIN-AT HER OWN REQUEST Florida Authorities Probing Case of Woman Whose Murder, to Save Her From Pain, Is Confessed by Two Friends. pect of their neighbors. Judge G. F. Parker recognized their standing when the couple, after confessing their part in the death of their friend, were ai raigned, He took the unprecedented action of admitting them to ball, Brother Gillette in $5,000 and Sist Elizabeth in $2,000. Public sentiment la strongly in favor of the Shakers, The entire Shaker colony, standing firm behing their brethr raised the necessary amount and the couple were le@ forth from Kissimmee Jail A up of quiet, placid, drab-olad ore greeted them with affection ae they left the prison. “Sister Sadie L. Marchant came 10 our colony six years and three months ago," said Brother Gillette while he waited in jail for bail to be given for him, “She w.s8 doomed to death from consumption then, One of her lungs had been destroyed. She had been auf- fering terribly for several weeks and we all knew the time was short before she would be alled to her final reward, The climax came on Aug. 20. She was seized with chills, hemorrhage and other symptoms, which, every one inows, mean that the end of any one with consumption is near. BEGGED TO BE KILLED TO END SUFFERING. “Sister Sadie had always told us to let her die in peace and without pain, and asked Sister Elizabeth that day to let her get out of the body. Sister Sadie refused to eat anything more after that. On Sunday night, the 20th, she was in agony, and toward morning begged us to kill her. She said she was at peace with God and with all om earth, and was ready to go. “% call my Maker to witness that 2 thought I was doing right,” Brother Gellette repeated solemnly. “My con- solence is at peace.” SHEARS SISTER OF GOLDEN LOCKS TOMAKE A BOY Then, Too, Both Youngsters Were Disappointed Because She Was a Girl When Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Neumann, who live in the fashionable Hendrik Hudson apartment house, at Riverside Drive and One Hundred and Tenth street, received a notice from Dr. Stork that he was going to make them a visit |soon they were so delighted they took thelr three-year-old son Douglas into thelr confidence.

THEY BEGIN O} TIME Swarm Out of Shops in Obe- dience to General Order. Promptly on time the tailors employed in most of the fashionable dressmaking establishments along Fifth avenue and nearby streets swarmed out of their shops, in obedience to the order for a general strike, completely upsetting the plans for thousands of winter street dresses and gowns which had been ordered for the season. In the twinkling of an eye the avenue became as congested all the way from Eighteenth street to Forty-second as it is during the noon hour, when the tatlors flock to the etreet for their noon recess. Though the strike order have met with genefal obedience, It was evident that many of the strikers waiked away from thelr benches with extreme reluctance. They are the best paid workers in the needle trades, and the loss of even a week's wages is an item of no small moment. One hundred and fifty hands walked out of the shop of Richard I. Hickson, President of the Merchants’ Soctety at No. 436 Fifth avenue. The Madame Os- borne Company, at No, % Kast Twenty- sixth street, shut down when sixty of ts most skillful and highly pald costume architects quit. The employees of M. & R. Weingart, at No, 467 Fifth avenue, hastened over to the lawn in front of the Public Li- brary, where they held a shop meeting, They were Joined by strikers from Hol- lander's, at No, 662 Fifth avenue, and Madame Louise's, at No. 654. Although they crowded the avenue, the strikers gave the police no trouble, dispersing at the first suggestion from the nearest bluecoat. In a lttle while they hastened to headquarters, the of- fices of the Ladies’ Tallors and Dr makers Local No. 38, at No, 48 East Twenty-second street, Strike headquar- ters will be established to-morrow on Fifth avenue, and at No. 62 Eas One Hundred and Sixth street, No. 6: East Fourth street, 83-8 Forsyth street, and Manhattan avenue and Broadway, Brooklyn.

The threat was made at union head- quarters tiat if any elfort was made by the manufacturers to finish their pres- ent orders in dre: ing shops which employ women exclusively, the dress- making unions, who have a member- ship of 18,00 women, would be called vut.

The best men in the shops, {t was said, earn as much as $4 and $60 a week at plecework, and to cut them off from that opportunity would be to lose the best workmen and the ability to turn out good work, The n.gotlations between the represen- tatives of the workers and ‘hose of the Morchants’ Soctety of Tallors and Dress. makers, the employers, broke yesterday afternoon on two essential points The manufacturers refused to ree to andon cellar and basement shops and the plecework system.
