SEEK TO SAVE
•WOMAN F
THEJALIOWS
Day Approaches for Ex
ecution of Murderess
MRS. ANGELINA NEAPOUTANA
WILL HAVE TO HAN« UNLESS
HER SENTENCE IS COMMUTED
BY GOVERNOR GENERAL.
Ottawa, Out., Julr 1»-—As tha
day approaches which haa been set
for tho aiecutlon of Mrs. Angelina
Neapolitan*, sentenced to tho gal
lows for the murder of her husband,
In April last, the department of
Justice Is becoming fairly over
whelmed with petitions from all
parte of Canada and tho United
States, strongly pleading for the
commutation of the death sentence
in the case of the Italian woman.
Probably no case In the criminal
history of the country ha* aroused
such genoral sympathy among all
clusseB of tho population In several
countries. The fact that the victim
of the murder, the womans husband,
was a worthless brute, who, aa was
Bhown In tho trial, had attempted
to force his wife Into a life of dis
honor to obtain money for paying
for hie bouse, had undoubtedly
something to do with tho sympa
thetic efforts to save the woman's
life, but the circumstance which
appealed to human sentiment ev
erywhere most powerfully was un
doubtedly that Mrs. Neapolltano In
her prison cell Is nwaltlng the birth
of her fourth child, whose arrival
Is due a short tlmo before her exe
cution In the early part of August.
Thousands of Individual appeals
and bulky petitions bearing from
hundreds to many thousand signa
tures aro‘ arriving here constantly,
and how strong the feeling of sym
pathy Is In this ease mjy he adduced
from the tact'that several men and
women In various parts of ths Uni
ted States have offered their own
lives for that of Mrs. Neapolltano,
should Justice demand a human Ilfs
In expiation of the crime.
The countless petitions and ap
peals will all be careful/ consid
ered and, although no recommends
tlon to the governor genoral has yet
been made. It Is generally believed
that after the birth of the prison
er's child her eentenoe will be
commuted.
Angelina Neapolltano, who Is
spending her days lu prison praying
or making tiny garments for the
expected baby, la 28 years of age
and was born In Italy. She was
quite young when she married Nea-
pnlltano, an Italian laborer, at
Sault Sle Marie, Ont, with whom
the had three children. As It ap
peared from the testimony In the
trial, Neapolltnno was a man of bru
tal nature and dissolute character.
He was addicted to drink and fre
quently out of employment on that
account. During the early years of
their marriage, Noapolltano pur
chased a small house, paying for It
•a monthly Installments. When he
lost his job on account of his drunk
enness, and found himself unable to
ninke his payments for the house,
bo .tried, It was allegod by witnesses,
to force his wife Into a life of dis
honor, In the hope of thus raising
funds.
Angelina refused to barter her
honor for money and her husband,
furious over her refusal, frequently
maltreated her, though she,was ex
pecting to become a mother. The
crisis ennie In April of this year,
when after a prolonged spree Neapo-
lltcno again appronched his wife
with his shameless and Inhuman
proposition. Again she refused and
this to Infuriated him that he
threatened to kill her. Crated by
the brutality of her husband, Ange
lina took her hnehsnd'a lire, brain
ing him with an axe while he waa In
bed asleep.

the Lorimer Investigation
This Morning.
Washington, July 19.—B.
Johnson, formerly connected with
the American Lumberman (news
paper) of Chicago, was recalled In
the senate Lorimer lnveetlgatlon
today.
Johnson Is one of the men on
the train from Duluth to Virginia,
Minn., when Secretary Welhe, of tho
Hines Lumber Company, Is alleged
to hare heard Burgess, who testi
fied yesterday, says that he oontrib-
uted ten thousand dollars to the
Lorimer fund. ,
On the cross examination. Senator
Fletcher asked Johnson If he had
been drinking that night on the
train.
■ • "No sir,” replied the witness.
“Had Burgess been drinking?”
"I do not think so; I do not think
anyone In the smoking compartment
bad been Indulging.”
Johnson had testified that no such
conversation as related by Burgess
had taken place, thus directly coi
tradlctlng Burgees' testimony.
BIG REGISTRY INCREASE.
Registry Department at Postoffce
Shows Large Growth.
The Times hat had occasion be
fore to mention the very large in
crease In business done at the Val
dosta postollico as shown at the
close of the last quarter and the last
fiscal year. The report of the reg
istry department for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, which has jusi
been completed, shows that 3,875
registered places were dispatched,
against 3,365 pieces for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1910, This Is
an Increase of 510 pieces, or nearly
16 per cent.
In an article a few days ago It
was stated fthat the stamp sales for
.the laat four quarters had been be
tween $26,000 and $26,000. The
(or ,tjfte fiscal year Were really
nearly 129,000 and at thenfaiv irf in
crease for the last quarter over the
same quarter last year, the sale
the end of ths next flaca
year will go to about $30,-
000. In the article refered to
above, a confusion of the salary
year ending March 80th, and the
fiscal year ending June 30th caused
the reported to make ot appear that
the stamp tales had been In the
neighborhood of $3,000 let than they
really were.
