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.
