PAN FRANCISCO. Jan. IS. (Special.)
Protesting that Hie was Innocent.
Mark A. Wllklns was hanged at San
Quentln prison at 10:J1 o'clock this
morning; f"r the murder of Mrs. Vernle
Carmen In 1907.
Wllklns was the only one of the
four convicted murderers condemned to
be put to death today who was obliged
to pay the penalty. State-wide pro
tests against the death penalty rained
reprieves for the other three and have
riven rise to the belief that no more
hangings will taice place In San Quen
tin until the people have voted upon
the question.
Foes of capital punishment besought
Governor Johnson to commute the sen
tence of Wllklns or at least to post
pone the execution, but he declined to
do so.
Wllklae Makes Stafemeat.
Wllklns made the following; state
ment on the scaffold:
"I want you to say for me. as my
last words on earth, that I am Inno
rent, and have no fear of death. Ex
press my deep gratitude to those who
have been active In trying; to secure a
pardon."
Two priests. Fathers Callopy and
Marrhtsto. of an Kafaet. came to his
cell and spent the hour preceding; the
execution alone with htm.
A bit of metal, sharpened to a rasor
edge, was found In Wllklns' prayer-
book after the execution.
The body of Mrs. Carmen was found
beneath the stable of the house where
Wllklns lived, at F.lmhurst. Alameda
County. November 27. 1907. Wllklns
waa arrested and quickly convicted of
the crime.
Ilaebaad Identifies Vlettaa.
Mrs. Carmen was the daughter of
Henry P. Llnderrnan, a hotel proprietor
at tihetrielil. Sin. a suburb of Kansas
I'ltr. She waa the wife of Louta L
Carmen. a railroad engineer, from
whom she had separated a year before
she died.
Carmen thought his wife had been
killed In a railroad wreck near Spring
field. Mo. where he lire. I. but when he
learned that Wllklns was under arrest
for the murder of a woman In Cali
fornia, he decided to come there and
view the woman's body. Carmen Iden
tified the body as that of his wife by a
dentist's chart that he brought from
Kansas City. He and his wife never
were divorced.

Cancellation of Big; Affair Causes
Gossip That Former Miss Force,
kt Cold Shoulder From
Society's Inner Circle.
NEW YORK. Jan. 11. (Special.)
The outskirts of that unsoclably social
circle technically known as the "Four
Hundred were throbbing with gossip
today concerning Colonel John Jacob
Astor and bis bride, who waa Miss
Madeline Force.
The question buxxed about the draw-
ng-rooma waa. ny tiaa the colonel

home on January 217"
And the query invariably brought
one of two answera, the first of which
waa that Mra. Aster waa tired out in
maintaining her position as bride of
one of tbe foremost leaders of society.
The second answer was that charmed
circles had not extended the warmest
hand of grsetlng to her.
The much - talked of dance waa
planned by Colonel Astor to launch his
bride into the social season, ana waa
one of the first events which the Colo
nel bad In mind for ber entertainment
during the Winter.
But now be has suddenly cancelled
the affair, and come forth with the an
nouncement that on January 26 he and
Mrs. John Jacob Astor will leave on
an extended trip up the Nile In his
yacht.

This was . when he took a taxlcab
from the bote! to George M. Cohan's

comedian tonight. When he saw the
Indicator Jump from 50 cents to $1. from
1.50 to !. be admitted that it would
not take many such rides to put him
back on a ban diet In a hurry.
When the taxncab drew up at the
theater and the register showed $3.10.
McDevltt had to be supported or he
would have collapsed.
His heart waa pulling 115 strokes to
the minute, and It wsa with difficulty
that he recovered sufficiently to slip
a dollar bill to the carriage man. He
shied at taxlcabg after that and they
had to blindfold him to get him back to
the hotel.
As a token of his regard he present
ed Mr. Cohan with a. chunk of hard
coal, bearing the actor's name.

persons who slapped him on the back,
patted on the head and wrung both his
hands until they hung l.mp and life

When he became wealthy beyond his
wildest dreams by agreeing to get off

Irish candidates were too many for

that he was going to have the time of
his life with the 1:300 paid him to

McDevltt is of humble origin and his
political activities have been more or
less of a Joke In Wllkesbarre. He once
ran for Mayor, but received so few
votes that the county committee paid
no attention to bis entrance in the race
for the County Treaaurershlp. He put
himself up at the primaries and so
msny people voted for him Just as
Joke that he waa nominated.
Negotiations for his withdrawal were
conducted through the press, McDev

until the committee at last paid him
something like $2500 to get off the
ticket-

Following Sensational Halting of
Gay Life Led by Charles Dean
and Woman, Latter Secretly '
Flees to Mother's Home.
LOS ANGELES. Jan? II. (Special.)
Virtually penniless. Mrs. Mlna Griffin,
who first told the police her name was
Grace Reynolds, has returned to San
Diego with her two young daughters,
Sylvia and Goldie. aged 12 and 15 years
respectively. It was the climax for her
of an exciting three months' travel
around the country, spending money
lavishly, as the wife of Charles Dean,
capitalist, who. the police say, is none
other than Charles D. Howard, alias
Hoffman, bank robber.
So great has been the mental strain
under which Mrs. Griffin labored, fol
lowing the sensational arrest of Dean,
that she suffered an emotional collapse,
and is bedridden at the home of her
mother, Mrs. Perslns Beebe, at 2320 D
street, in San Diego.
Mrs. Griffon left Los Angeles hur
riedly and secretly Wednesday night,
and was met at the railway station in
San Diego by her former husband. Wil
liam Griffin, from whom she secured a
divorce in Tacoma two years ago. It
was there two or three years prior to
that that Griffin and his wife made
Dean's acquaintance. Dean then be
came a boarder at their home.
Mrs. Griffin has refused to make a
statement or to receive an Interviewer
since she reached San Diego. Both her
divorced husband and her mother,
basing their assertions on what she had
told them, said that she knew nothing
of the bank robbery or secrets, and had
no intimation whatever of Dean's crim
inal career.
Griffin said he knew Dean well, and
had last seen him In San Diego in
August. 1910. ' He also knew Addison,
a missing member of the alleged rob
bers' band, but had not seen him for
two years. Griffin said he and Mrs.
Griffin might beoome reconciled, but
said that their consideration of the
possibility began before Dean waa ar
rested. ARMY RESERVE ADVOCATED
General Carter Pleads for Greater
Force or Fewer Possessions.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. A statement
that there were 35.000 former Japa
nese soldiers in Hawaii who would sup
port Japan if that country and the
United States went to war created a
deep Impression on the House commit
tee on military affairs today, when
MaJor-General William H Carter, as
sistant chief of staff of the Army, made
the assertion.
General Carter expressed the belief
of the Army general staff officers that
the United States must enlarge Its mili
tary force greatly or dispose of -some
of the insular possessions. Under the
reserve system of Japan, the former
soldiers come into service at once if
needed.
He urged the creation of an Ameri
can Army reserve.
