He took dtreot Issus with the opin

"B, al leadership is nowhere ID

The Domooratio party, "disgracer'

would array themselves behind theil

real Dcmooraoy.
"And in that platform," he said,

his Qrm dealing to break up lawless

New York, and tho letters from his

papors of this State. In view of this
faot his stand in regard to cotton
"exchanges" and "buoket shops" Is
sn interesting one. Ho has beer,
asked to speak on this sn J '.ot at
diff?rent time*, and did so reoently
at the Tirzah oampalgn mooting. In
% lotter to a Hook Hill papor he says:
' The wrltor has visited many of thc

that he has even seen or Indulged In,"
oto, ole. Further on ho says: "And

Pretty little TSnama Stephauy, al

in tho Jail at Pottsville, Pa., a verit

Hy all tho rules by which detective'

Yet ovor and over again sho has rais

"I threw it over the fence."

jell-whloh overlooks the Jail yard In
which six Molly Mxgune terrorists of
the coal regions were hanged in a sin

But all tho enlightenment thoy
gained for their pains waa when om
night last week she rose from hor oot
And walked to the grated window and.
after gazing out into the Jail yard
with its grewBOmo mcmoi.".v.r, sens ;

"I wonder if they will hang mo?"
This remark, made at such an hour
when sho believed herself to be quite
.'lone, v/.uj Interpreted to be the ex
pression of one who, knowing herself
to bo really lunooont, wondered If ii
oould actually bo possible for the law

A? none of tho detectives engaged
upon the oasa had given oredence to

ohat tho girl had taken the orime up

shielding the real murderer, she ocr

There ls no doubt that, whatever
hor own part in the tragedy, Emma
Stephauy knows all about thc murder
of James BVzzcll.
Kirly in the day of July 4, thia
year, the body of this young man was
found In a Pottsville Btreot, ?hot
through tho heart. Before tho body
was removed a orowd gathered s bout
lt, One of these on lons peritcns was
Fmma Stephauy. Soo leaned ovor
the prostrate form, nba ken, agitated
"Do you reoogu;zo him?'' a polloe
man asked her.
"I do not know this man," hbo sob
bed, and walked away.
When the identity of tho dead man
?vas rovoalod to the polloe- that be
had latoly been tho accepted lover of
IC rima Stephany-??hoy Imoaodiatoly
went to the girl's bonn and u/iesMon*
ed her. Tho result showed nor to bf
either a murcie ross or a woman phe
nominally gifted with powers of sub
tle reasoning exerted with some mys
tericus obj'ob in view.
She sat in Bilanoo whllo her thor
ougbly alarmed mother declared that
ber daughter had retired at hor usual
hour-which was early -and had not
left hor room during all thc night ol
the murder. Tho older woman wept,
lamenting:
"Ho was stioha lino young man
i am sure iie would have mada a good
husband for my daughter."
"When you looked at tho body In
the street, why did you say that you
did not recognize lt?" domanded one.
of tho pohoomen of the girl.
"1 /ras frightened," siro murmured
Tho policeman lookod at her sharp
ly, setting a trap.
"Who ls this other man you have
been keeping oompany with latoly."
Tho shaft went Straight home.
"lt is falso," said tho girl, turning
pale. "I havo been keeping company
with no other man."
The police wero really nonplussed
They started to leavo the house.
Strangely enough, this seemed to
alarm the girl moro thau ever. Thoy
did not thon have any roal suspioion
that thero had boon rival lovers, so
they woro taken wholly by surprise
when F urna Stephauy suddenly rose
and said, in her mothor's prosonoe.
