TO APPEAL
(Scripps News Association) .
Stockton, June 25 Condemned to hang
for the murder of her husband, McVicar,
Mrs. Emma LeDoux sits almost cheerfully
in her solitary conflnment. The complaint
is that she has been denied the big airy
cell she occupied before conviction. She
has retained th e wonderful nerve which
supported her through the trial. If an
appeal to the supreme court fails, the
governor will be asked to commute the
sentence on the ground that the jury
showed prejudice by applauding when it
reached a verdict of guilty.
