TH* WOMAM PLANNED IT ALL. It la not a pleasant task to print the details of any crime, especially & crime so heartless, so Incredibly cruel and bloody is the murder of Clarence Myers by kis young wife and worth lass Frank Hottman; but to find out broadcast the story of such crimes, of the arrest and trial and conviction of >-tfe§ perpetrators, serves one of the for which the law metes out > warning to aH who are What is told here is subs'antiateri by the records of the trial ci Mrs. Ag gie Myers and Frank Hottmsu. was an honest, sturdy young sum, in every way the superior of Hottman. But the latter was a vis itor at the Moyers home and, by one of thooe strange freaks of Infatuation wbieb nobody can explain, he won the violent and reckless fancy of young Mx*. Myers. From this time on the woman man- sged everything. Hottman was like wax In her hands, and she so manag ed that her huaband suspected noth ing. The Meyers home was in Kansas GHp, Mo. In May, 1904, Mrs. Meyers dound bar has band’s praseoee so hate- * ful to bar that she resolved on putting him oob of the way. To this end she conspired with the week Hottman They Anally Axed upon the night of May 11 to do the deed. -Together they planned all the de Mile. Hottman fashioned a bludgeon out of the heavy end of a billiard cue with which to beat out the husband’s brains as he alept. At a little past tojmodk at Mil bank door of the Mayers residence, Mis. Meters was to admit him with his weapon, lead him to the room where the doomed man slept and make rare that his blows wen fatal. It so happened that night that My- en was in a wakeful mood. Mrs. My sm had to retire first befon he would ' ‘ '■ “ and go Is bed. When in bed' he tossed Hottman struck with aS his mlghtst the dark bead on the pillow. Bat then was no dying gasp from the husband’s lips, as be eatleipe bad “Burglanf 4 aborted Myers, reach ing oat wildly and salting the arm that bald aloft the bludgeon. "Bur glars! Aggie, where are yon?" •TABBED HIM WITH HKB The two men were struggling over the bed on which Myers half reclined, blinded by blood that flowed from bis torn scalp into his eyes. The epee table maddened the woman, who knew that her husband was the stronger. Silently she slipped around to the other side of the bed, snatching from her work table a pair of shears. Lean ing over the bed so that her unfasten ed hair brushed her husband's face, she savagely plunged the sharp points into bis body. "Stop, Aggie! Honey, It’s me you’re ■tabbing. Here’s the burglar on this side. I have him fast,” screamed the doomed husband. Breathing hard, the woman itroek with the shears again and again. With a mighty effort Myers leaped from the bed and seised Hottman by the throat. Mrs. Myers, seeing that her husband, in spite of bit wounds, was getting the better of her accomplice, tore slat from the bed, rushed around to the other side, and rained blows upon the man she hated. Again he called out to her: ■•'■m "You’re hitting me, honey. Just leave us alone; I can manage him." The husband had not the faintest Idea of his wife’s faithlessness. Sha knew this, and the thought Increased her fury. Around the room and over the furniture the awful struggle oon tlnued. Myers was saving himself from Hottman’s bludgeon, but he could not avoid hta wife’s blows with the bed slat. In the deep gloom of the room it was impossible for him to see that she was aiming those blows at him, and he never thought so. And so this terrible, Inhuman com bat in the dusk went on. A bed slat Is ao awkward weapon Mrs. Myers could get in no effective blow with the one she held. She saw that Hottman was nearly overcome. In" a moment her husband would understand tbelr murderous plot, would have them both In his power and would learn of the terrible He she waa enacting. BELIEVED IN HER TO THE END. She groped about and found her shears. Creeping dose under the arms of the struggling men, she struck savagely for the heart of the man in the white night olothee—her husband. ‘ Oil, AggKl Hon#)! It Is I," he moaned a last tims. and, fell .to the MMft—*tiiTn I ■Mf'ir<WyT~THMf Tl 1~i—TTtT———r.-THWBCT?. darpet, dead. Hottman, trembling In every limb, fell over on the bed. Mrs. Myers drew dpwn tbe blinds carefully and turned up the night light. The room was like a shambles—blood every where, on tbe bed, on the ovarturned furniture, on nor nightdress. Hottman’s cuffs, even ale hat, were covered with blood. The woman stepped over her bus band’s b3dy to a dresser, found a pair of cuffs and motioned to Hottman to put them on in place of his own. She went to a closet end found one of her husband's hate. This she put on Hot man's head. Then she said calmly to. her trembling aooomplloe: - "Oa Get to Str Joe before the po lice aan arreet you “ Hottman fled. Early the next morning. neighbors found Mrs. Myers lying on the back porch of her home. She aald that two negroes Yied attempted to rob the a terrible struggle.

The woman laughed in his faoe, denying every detail ~== The pair were tiled separately -Hottman was speedily convicted aad awarded the death penalty Mrs. My ore’s ease was continued half a <kscn times. The final verdlot was the same u In the case of Hottman. Both cases were appealed to the Supreme Oourt, where both verdicts werr indorsed. Then came, ten days ago, the sen tence of both to be hanged on tbe same day—June 29—she in her oeU, in the county jail, where she is confined at Liberty, Ma, for she will be the first white woman to meet that fate in tbe State of Mlestrarl, where there is a strong sentiment against execu ting the death penalty upon a wo man. All hope for Mrs. Aggie Myers now rests In Governor Folk. But that hope Is so strong in her that she is as cheerful as though the j iry had be lieved all her denials of guilt. To In tervlews she says, with an easy smile: "Hanging? I have never given the subject of hanging any thought. Why should 1? I know that 1 shall never be compelled to die In that manner." She Is a strange woman—aha seems not to know the meaning of the word, ' nerves." She is the favorite prisoner in the woman’s ward, always the peaoe-makar in ease of brawls, and a great assistance to the matrons In discipline. It ie evident that pretty Aggie My ers has no expectation of being hang ed, on June 29 or any other day, in her osll or eliewheis. Falla lato Liine. A dispatch from Seattle, Wash., says William J.

Meanwhile the enraged Christians at tacked the Jewish storts In Alexan drov and Suras streets, demolishing the fixtures and windows and throw ing the goods into the gutters and beating and murdering the Jews.

The signal for the outbreak, whlob apparently was deUberately planned, perhaps a oounterstroke for the mur der of Chief Police Derkatchoff on June 10, whioh was attributed to Jewish Bundls, is given as the explo sion of a bomb during a religious pro cession.

William Marcus, formerly of the United States artillery, was tried at Charleston Wednesday on the charge of murder, having killed bis wife, on tbe front beaob of Sullivan’s Inland, April 14, last The woman, who was universally well regarded, was horrib ly mutilated with an ice pick with which the killing was dona As was expected, tbe attorney for the de fense, L. G, Fulz, who was appointed by the court, set np tbe ploa of in sanity rad made a bard fight for tbe Ife of bis client, while Solicitor Jer- vey was assisted In tbe prosecution by Ootavus Cohen, handled the case well for the state. A verdict of guilty was found after a deliberation of ihree hours. Mareus was sentenced by Judge Aldrleh to be bung on August 3. He received his sratfiooe- witbout any marked enaotlon or state ment. This will be the first hanging of a white mao in Charleston county In many yean. Bryan the Man, ▲ staff correspondent of the Rich mond Evening Journal interviewed Democratic National Oommlttemra Norman E. Mack, In Buffalo, N Y., on tbe democratic outlook. Mr. Mack said: "Then has been no time since the result of the 1904 election was an nounced that I base not believed William Jennings Bryan would ooa tlnue to be Ite leader of the democrat ic party in the nation and there ha been no time in that period, but what l have believed tbaVBryan would be renominated for the picetdcoey by ae a vengeful ballet from the gnaifl’s remorseless Winchester. He is spoken of as gentle, beoause, though clearly lacking in high moral purpose, he seems to have been brought up polite ly; rad, besides, his dying breath was a plea for better treatment for his fellow convicts on the road. He was considerate of his companions in suf fering, and all the recorded utterances of the dying boy stamp.him as pos sessing more of the finer, instincts of his raoe than some of his fellow-men who have been lucky enough to Stay off of tbe chain-gang. •' He was convicted of forgery in a North Carolina oourt under an as sumed name, and sent to the chain- gang. He refused to divulge his real name, saving bis parents were well to do people in Kentucky and that he did nut want them to know of his waywardness and disgrace. Ho was an intelligent, bright young man rad was no doubt, as ne claimed, reared in a well to-do home. After serving sometime on the chain-gang he made an attempt to escape, and waa ahot by one of the guards rad mortally wounded, He was told that he was going to die and urged to tell what bis real name was rad where his folks lived in Kentucky, but he declined. He aald he was reared in a gentle Kentucky home by Indulgent parents, but would not reveal the name of his parents or where they lived. He died and carried his secret with him to tbe grave. • L Taking it as true, says the Gasto nia Gazstte, that be was bred in a gentle Kentucky homo, one wonders what is tbe secret of his downfall. Was It heredity? Was it lack ol a mother’s nursing and a mother's pray- ch? Did this man sin or his parents that be was born to temptation like the rest of us and at last died a oon vict? Perhaps these things will never be known until everything else is opened to the ken of man and the an gels, bat there is one sentence of his last words that may serve to base a guess upon. "I was roared to every thing 1 wanted," he raid, rad therein m.ay 4*ro been the upon door to all the ill tbat he could not conquer In his life’s little way. There are few of us who do not need the saving virtues whioh com* to our characters frum discipline—hard, aus tere discipline. Endure hardness as a good soldier, was the Apostle’s injuno- t on. Hardness is good when endured for tbe good it brings, and some hard ness must be endured by every moth er’s son of us who would be more than a piece of drift-wood on a sea of sin.

Mr. Black made a brief statement in whioh he said that he was raxious to avoid ray further discussion of the affair rad for that reason waived a preliminary bearing,, and that whll< be, of course, did not want to bt placed under a peace bond rad had no idea of keeping the peace, he sub mitted the .matter entirely to the dis cretion of the oourt rad would furnish bond or not as the oourt decided.

Mr. Biaek vol unteered the statement that he agreed with the oourt that Mr. Lyon should not be placed under a peace bond. Mr. Lyon was not present.
