WOMAN DIES AFTER '
LONG PRISON TERM *
(
WILL BE BURIED BESIDE HUSBAND
WHOSE MURDER SHE J
WAS CHARGED WITH *
_____ g
Raleigh, Feb. 1.?In a little grave- r
yard in Alexander county , in the Blue I
Ridge mountains of North Carolina, 1
the body of Mrs. Sarah Wychoff, ^
seventy-six, will be buried beside that t
of her husband, Wesley, for whose r
murder she spent a me sentence? j
farty-two years?in state prison, dur- *
ing which time a man on his deathbed
is said to have confessed to the kill- t
ing, absolving her and "Bob" Mc- '
Corkle, a negrt>, hanged for the crime, j
f any connection. , c
Mrs. Wychoff, who died at -the peni- 1
tentiary here yesterday had refused ?
pardons during the last twenty years
from five governors, txplaining that
her children had all died and she had i
nowhere to go and was content to 1
remain among her prison friends the ^
balance of her life.
Mrs. Wychoff was tried with McCorkle
for the murder of Wesley
Wychoff in 1878. Both protested their "
innocence. The negro was found
guilty of murder in the first* degree c
and his hanging was the only one
that ever took place in Alexander
county. Mrs. Wychoff was convicted 1
of conspiracy and sentenced to life
imprisonment. Both were convicte<i
on cimcumstartial evidence.
Mrs. Wychoff was seized with an
attack of rheumatism several years J
ago and since that time had been
unable "to walk. For years she has
spent most of her time in bed and in
/ a wheeled chair knitting, crocheting
and sewing. She specialized in making
little fancy aprons which prison j
officials sold for her. From the money <3
gathered in this way she had fitted out f
a cozy little cell in the prison and *
enough money was found after her c
ieath to pay all burial expenses. t
The body of Mrs. Wychoff is at u ^
Focal undertakers awaiting word from c
relatives before being shipped to the j
mountains. (

Slept Thirty-Two Years. ^
t
Surely a subject for the speculative a
psychologist is the record sleep in- a
dulged in by Caroline Ohlson, a Swed- |
ish girl. In 1875, when only a child j
ef fourteen years, she fell into a S
trance in the island of Okuko, in the s
Baltic, and remained unconcious for ?
32 years; Food was administered to j
fcer, although she seemedquite uncon- \
eerned. Nor did she respond to cny s
inquiry during that long time. Then
suddenly she awoke, no loi$er a girl, j
but a middle aged woman, and the 1
most careful examination could not <
reveal the slightest weakness or men- j
j tal effect. After coming out of her c
i long trance Caroline enjoyed very >
good health. ?

Hie Steady Subscriber
How dear to our hearts is the steady
subscriber, who pays in advance at
the birth of each year. Who lays *
down the money and does it quite glad- *
ly, and casts round the office a halo
cf cheer. *
He never says: "Stop it; I cannot ?
afford it, I'm getting more papers
than now I can read," but always says: J
"Send it; our people all like it?in
fact, we all think it a help and :? *
need."
How welcome his check when it
reaches our sanctum, how it makes
our pulse throb; how it makes our heart
dance. We outwardly thank
hiip; we inwardly bless him?the
steady subscriber who pays in advance.
