spoken acceptance Cole Younger, part
ner of Jesse James and oO Quautrell,
had coiuo out In ftio open and em
braced thft faith whose tenets h0 has
been quietly practicing for many years.
"There Is nothing wonderful lu iny
conversion." said Younger.
"I've letl an adventurous, turbulent
life. Tho war brought on hate nnd
strife nnd killing. They murdered my
fntiier when 1 wns a schoolboy and I
Hfla.JflujlcJyHl.inio a life of roprlsalr
and shooting nnd rough riding, wind

I am an old man. seventy years old
next .lanuary. and I have come back,
by Ood's merry, 'to the spot where 1
spent my childhood, to end my days.
"To nie. knowing my own soul, it Is
nothing. Why. forty years ago. when
witnesses have testified that I was rob

down in Texas teaching a Sunday

"The feeling has been growing strong
upon me these Inst years that my

nnd that find was lending me by the
hand, nhd so I have Just given my
henrt to him, and 1 feel that tho sins
of my past life are blotted out and
that I am a child of Cod."
Although ho Is pictured In "wild
west" .tales as monstrously criminal,

one offense and says .his name, along
with that of the James brothers Mid
others, wns connected with practically
every bank robbery and holdup in the

women of every walk in life are shoul

jil and unwarranted the carrying out
of the" court edict that, Mrs. Wukelloid
shall ho hanged
From every" corner of the tjtnfj the
jiroti&ts of tho women arc Iwlng voiced
in mo mrou tfc punuciy circuiaieu pett-j
Hons lo which many (Jhousands of
names are being signed daily, in pub
licity campaigns mid ii pursounl de
mands UOng made upon members of
thV state lio:ud of pardons, loislfTtors
anil jurists. Although Mrs. Wakeiloid

. in
re
nouse, no word li.is I , ufi I'e.f,
by her indicating what will be the
suit of the uiriiiui! crusade.
If Mrs. Wakelleld dies for the mur
der of her husband, In the actual com
mission of which she was not accused
of having .taken a hand, she will be
the llrst woman put to death In the
state since 17K1.
Connecticut's leniency toward women
who havo been convicted of murder Is
explained in part by Its efforts to atone,
for Its unsavory record In Colonial
days, when six women were burned or
hanged iw witches. In 17ir Kll'.illieth
Shaw, a feeble minded girl, was hang
ed on her father's testimony that she
had killed her Infant child. She was
executed after she had ridden a mile
to thi' scaffold seated on her colIln and fe
crying aloud to be saved, Hut since i w
Connecticut became a slate
woman has been
within Its limits,
oniy one . u
legally put to deatli gi
Mrs. Wakelleld Is twenty-four yearfJj
old and Is one of six children of Mr T
and Mrs. Hiram Webster of Middle
bury, an uncultured, but honest, cou
ple, who for years have eked a bare
living out of a rocky farm.
The. daughter received practically no
education, and she was only seven
teen when she was married to Wake
lleld, a Urlstol farm hand. She became
housekeeper for .lames Plew. a Middle
bury fanner.
Plew and Wakelleld soon quarreled
about her. Wakelleld was found slain
last June. Plew confessed the deed,
but he and Mm. Wakelleld blamed
each other for plotting the murder s
that they could be married. Plew,
who has a wife and child, and Mix.
Wakelleld. who has two children, have
been sentenced to be hanged on March
t. 11114.
It has been stated In the Connecticut
press that the vote of Uie board must
be unanimous to commute a sentence,
but the law was changed four years
ago tii make a favorable "vote of live
mondiers effective.
Mrs. Wakefield's children are with
her parents. The boy. who IsVlx years
old. and the girl, who Is four, know
nothing of their parents' fate, and they
dally-say tf thelrgrandinother, "Mam
ma will be homo today."
The fact that many women have
been convicted of single handed and
jireino'dltutud. murder In Connecticut In
the lust half century, nnd that all have
escaped 'the death penalty, nnd ttyat
Mrs. Wiikefield Is not even charged
witli a 'art in tho actual kllllngof her
Si'islmnd, fins Incited a widespread re
volt agalnet tho decrco of tho extreme
penalty In her case.
Hope.
"There is no sweeter suffering than
hope." So runs irn old CJefman prov
erb, melancholy ti'xt for hearts that
bitter tll.sappolntment'hns cured nuU to.
whom all hope Is but memory..
