'I he defendant, lUixnllue Driw*, wm eonvl. ted of murdering her hunliund, William Draw, In the town of Warren, in the rounty of Herkimer, in this state. The verdict was murder In the first decree, and she has been rrnt< need to the only punishment pro- Bcrilsil by the law for that crime, to wit; Execution by banging, to take place on the -Kill of this month. It is < i,needed that she has had a fair trial. The conviction wns appealed both t/i the general term of the supreme court and to the court of appeals, snd has teen altlrmed by both. Iloth courts hold that the verdict is futty. joxtllM by the evidence and refuse to Interfere with tlie sentence of law. In fact, 11 ere w i ins to lie no doubt whatever of the defendsnl's guilt. It Is a clear cms' of murder in the first degree. Tie evidence shows that the killing was Hi,«! brutal in Its character, llrlelly stabvl thv facts satisfactorily established are as follows:The family consisted of the deceased anil Mrs. Dru'e, the duughter Mary, aged 18 yearn, the son Oeorge, aguil 10 years, and a nephew, Frank Uatcs, aged 14 years. A (|iiarrel hail wcniTwl on the morning of the lioinlci le lieUveen the (Incensed and the defendant at th» breakfast table. The deoeaied wo? still at the Udilo, and during the quarrel ol the defendant took a revolver, which was there, and putting it under her apron returned iu<l « hispered to the boys to go out of doon, which they did, leaving herself, the daughter Mary ami the deceaatsl in the nsiin. Vary then | i(i( edtt rope around her father's „eck vihiluhe was at the table, and theilei ndnnt flrod the revolver once or twigs at him, wi undlng him, and he fell over »iilewl*> In his chair. While the defendant, being unable to make the revolver go oir again, called to her ne| hew, who came into the house togi tlitr witli tic boy George, and whereupon tin pi is nor pave the revolver to the nephew, and under threats of killing him, compelled him to lire it off two or three times, and the J, cerised, belli.; hit by the slio's, rolled off the chair upon the floor, and then she soixed an >ix I.nd hit hr husband on the head with It. -Jl cvlniuied: "Oh! Iloxy, don't I" and she continued hitting him on tha neck antil she cliop|M<d his head off, severing It completely from his holy. She then caused the head, as well OS the I ody, to Is- tuken Into the parlor, and during that day and evening the body w as cut up with an ax and was Lurned in the Move. She threatened to kill the lx>ys If they told what cccuried, burned all her husband's clothes and made every possible effort to conceal the crime; cuitwd the ashes In the stove where Hie Imiiy hud been burned I•1 lie taken up aud thrown in a pond, and the revolver and ax to Is- thrown in swamps, and had telegrams sent to friend* in other place* making false inquiries us to her husband, and compiled tlic boys to tell everyone that her bus hand had gone away, she herself telling neighliors falsi hoods of every kind as t<» her husband's whereabouts. 1 luring Ihe evuiiing, while Mix Druse find Mary were burning the Usly in the |iarlor, the two boys were amusing themselves by playing checkers in the ml jo.nlng loom where the murder had U-cn committed, thus showing the utter lack of feeling of the w hole family. Mrs. Drnse luul previously made threats ugainst the deceased and l otuttd thut she would be rid of him (some day. The revolver had been procured and brought Into the house under |iecullar i nndVu.pkioui clrcuinstaiues. Indicating felonious purposes. These anil other facts 111■ mostitoo horrible for description mark the cam as u plalu one of deliberate uud preineditatetl murder. 1 here sta ins to be scarcely a mill gating iircunistnniv surrounding iL The daughter Mary aided and assisted her motht r in the inunlsr, and after the conviction i f her mother pleailid guilty of inunler In the sceoud degree, which plea, on account of her ) i mil, the fact that she win proliubly acting umler the intluence ot her mother and otln r i in umstiuices, was accepted by the district at orney, and she was scntciioed to pi Imiii f r lit - 'I he ileli uilaiit, Mr*.

The apphcailon cannot lie plai ed u|kiu any legal grounds, nor ian it be gianteil ui*m any consideration* which usually influence executive clemency.'there are no mitigutlug circumstance* upon will h to base it. 'I bo defeiiilant's guilt is beyond question. T he crime was rommiti"d and thi re Is no pre'-"se of Insanity. . dluag !ms ixi urmljj. sjiye trial to chance the i a>e in any of it* fisunt • It lias Is en asserttsi that the defendant for many yvuro was abused, ill treated, half•tarved, and otherwise misuseil by the deceased. The evidence, however, which has been carefully examined by me, does not ■rem to justify so broad a claim. It is true thai the cane Ul« loots 1 tiie fact that during her iiisrritsi life there luul been more or lew <puuri. ling, or word disputes, some little violence, much profanity on both sides, and consnlci able 111-fivltiig and unpleasantness, but not u.e ill-usage now pretended or sit up Ui behalf of the detendunt. Asuve frv ui tl.s e%kki.ee of tlss daughter Mary, (who was swoiu upou the trial and whine eviiicme must Is' aiiepUsl with some allowmu-e or suspicion,) the tesiimony of nearly ail tin' reliable witissws shows that both [urtisa were at blame fur the quarrels and that some time one began nod then the other. These quarrels, under such circumsUnci s, must be dieuied sulllcient to furnish a motive for the < rime ou the part of the defendant by a desire to get rid of u husband with whom site could not, or dil not. live pleasantly Instead of mitigating the defendant's crime they may lie viewed as furnishing an adtquate motive for its commission, when taken ill connection with other tacts In the case. Under the drcuuistamxa there uoi seem to be any ground w luit ever for the exercise of executive clemency, unless it Is the sHln fact that the defendant 1* a woman. The law dous not make any di»- tinctkm in the puniahment af inimler on account of *ex. '1 lie executive must accept the law as he finds it and ho cannot properly or honestly evade it; ha cannot place his decision in an application of this kind upon a false or untenable ground. If It be *uid that twibhc opinion is against the exe"Ution of a woman for any crime no matter how horrible, the answer is that public opinion should express Itself by seeking a change of the law which directs such punishments. Thu executive alone has no |s»wer to change the law, but his sworn duly is to enforo» it as ho flwlf it, fearlessly and impartially. 1 have leet befceiged with arguments a.id jietitions ot every description in favor of this application. First—There ii a class who uio always op- Iswed to capital punishment, and who ask the executive in favor of clemency regardless of Its merits. That class Is quite numerous anil has been particularly industrious in reference to this case. It would seem to be a sulllcient answer to their petition to say that the governor is not responsible for the existence of the law which la vol's hanging, but bis duties lU" mainly executive in their character, and he must enforce whatever laws the people have seen lit to enact and lie has nothing to do with the wisdom or policy of the law which he Is required to execute. Second—There is another clous of people who are not op|*>sed to capital punishment for men, but who believe it should not lie en forced against women. The sentiment which actuates this clans is entitled to respect w hen honestly held, although R is difficult to discover how it can be entertained or defended so long as the law itself makes no distinction on account of sex. Instead of applying to the executive for relief ill every case where a WOmau is sentenced to Is- executed, their efforts should lie uddresscd to the legislature to change the law. They, however, make no such application, but seem to prefer to confine their exertions to beseeching the executive for clemency in each case w hen It urines, apparently not realizing, as they ought, thut he may not be abb to grant their application* without doing violence to his sense of duty. There is still a third class asking executive interferences in this case who are seeking greater imliticul rights for women, and who iiuust that, as the women of the state have no | 'oice ill making laws in regard to murder, such laws sliould not bo enforced ugainst them. The application of this principle would properly require a legislative act, and until such net shall he passed it cannot well bo applied by the executive. In order lo bo more ] consistent an act would also have to be passed ill inference to minors bccau.se they are punished the same us men, although like women they have had no share in niuking the laws. The Indians of the state aire bound by our < laws and required U» submit to punishment j provided for tli ir violation, although they have no purl in their enactment. The law which prohibits murder nnd de| clares that the life of the offender shall be for{ felted is a divine luw as well as a humane law. The law of our stute, made by men, is | simply in harmony with thu law of the Almighty. It would seem as though It should | be obeyed by men, women, minors, Indians > anil ull clusses and conditions of people so long as it exists, and that equal punishment j should Is' meted out to ull who ili:.oboy it until at trust legislature In iu wisdom sis* fit ] to direct, as it has the power to do, thut disf tilietlo.i shall Ixi made ou account of sex. | There is still a lourt h clam of people who earni estlv have urged interference in this case, and 1 they are individuals whose sympathies have i lieen naturally aniuso l by the unfoi luiiute situation of Uiis wouiuit and by the erroneous statements which luivo lieen spread broadcast concerning the alleged ill treatment sustain.si ; by lier at the handa of her husband, and : which statement* do not seem to be corroborated by the evidence pruduced at the trial. The motivos of the kind hearted people are to be commended, but tliey are not only unfamiliar w iththe details or jmrtlculurs of the cane, but fuil to appreciate the vast ies[Miiisi ■ bility inqmucd upou the executive and the uo; cessity for the existence of just and tciiablo grounds lieforo he can consistently interfere with the action of the courts. It is said thut Governor Cleveland in issi commuted the sentence of the murdcrius Mrs. llaight, who also killed her hiisbaud, upon the ground tluit she was a woman. This is erroneous. In his written reasons for his action tlUlUJllitted to the legislature he stated; "While there U naturally a foaling of repugnance against the execution of a w oman, 1 am by no mi lium satisfied that iu the presi nt condition of Ilw law which present**-, the punishment of death for murder in flu- first degree, (email's should be exempt sulely un account of their jex." Ho tin n priHssshst to grant the application upon the expiws grounds of the ndvanivd ageof Mrs. liulght and the delicate condition ot her health, Which was so precarious that it was believed that her life would be of short ijuuitiou. No such grounds ore claimed to exist iu this case. A most careful aud painstaking examination of tlie case, in which I have earnt«fly sought to Hint M>me just ground u|xjii which to base relief, falls to disclose any good reason why I should int. i fere, unless it lie on account of sex. As lias bceu stated, the law bus not heretofore regarded that as a pro|>er ground. 1 he people have not seen fit tc change the law anil until they do no the executive cannot profierly interfere. V commutation in this case would furnish a precedent for all other*. The executive niu*! act consistently, an I if he prevents the enforcement of the sentence agniust thi* woman simply Us-aiwe of her sex, lie must do so for every other woman in wliohc U-half a similar application shall hereafter lie made The*o cases are becoming frequent and it is Mcwntial that no action lie now taknn which shall euibarraMJ the executive in future ca*a. ITie executive- w ill soon be calks! U| on to act upon the case' of another woman (Miv. Wile-11 an) nxently oouvicted anil sentenced to be execuUcl (or the murder of her husband in the county of Cattaraugus, (inly two week* ago another murder is understood to have lieen committed in tlie county of Krio by a woman, (Mi*. IVnseyins) and these cases and others will unquestionably soon demand the atteution ami action of the executive. It ia, therefore, of the utmost importance, lor the sake of constancy at 'east, that the executive should not be per•uiulMper•uiulM Into u-smiutin# a mfKMiklbiiiiy axml taking action in renew to thi» wotiuui which he would not be wiliuig to awuine an<V take in refcrvnre to the cimw of every other woman Hinniarly situated.

The law makes no distinction as to sex when t prescribes this punishment, and so loug as the law remains as it does my opinion is it should be enforced in such a case as this.*' Much as 1 would personally be gratified if 1 could see my way clear to grant this application, 1 cannot do so as the law now stands. an<i am compelled fco deny it. But, because the dato fixed for the execution (Dec. 'JU) is during the ho.idays, which seems to be regarded by many worthy people as an unseasonable time for 4he occurrence of such an event and out o deference to such opinions, ami because of the further fact that there seems to ex lit a sentiment anions portions of the community Against the execution ot a woman in any case, which it is claimed would Ik) sufficiently strong to induce the legislature Ui change the law if an opportunity should Is? alforded, and as the legislature is now about a.**»mbiing and the sentiments of the |K*ople upon this question can madt* manifest through their representatives in such legislature, 1 have decided to grant a reprieve to the defendant until Feb. next This respite will enable tbo legislature to have ample time to carefully consider the snVv jis-t of capital punishment, so far as it affects women, and to change the law in cose it deems it wiM? to drt so. If the legislature, uj>on which the responsibility for the enactment of laws mainly re.sBt, refuses to modify the present law, it must be enforced as it now exists, ami unless it shall be changed in the meantime the case is closed so far as my official action is concerned, and on Feb. 28 next the law must be permitted to take it-* course.

Trouble for the Prohibitionist's Son. Nkw Youk, D<h-. 20.- I'rank H. Miller, son of Justus Miller, late prohibition candidate for mayor of Troy, was arrested on Hroadway Htttunlay in company with MixSus ui M(x>:iey, the grass widow with whom he had elo|xsl to New York, sjs'iit Haturday night in the Kliza- Is-th street police station. His father did not come b» New York for him. Mrs. Mooney, after her discharge by Justice Duffy in the Tombs court on the day of h» r arrest, tried iu vain U> accompany Frank to his cell. Failing in this she returned to her hotel. Karly yesterday morning young Miller wa* again token to the Tombs by i'olicemati Early who moot* die aritwt. Just after he had reached the bar the object of his aff«H'tions Uipfied into court. Frank's ears caught the rustling sound of her silk dress ami tlie lovers exchanged emotional glances. She was permitted to Uike her pla'*e lit ar tho victim of her charms. Uefore J iistice Duffy had time to open the case Capt. McKeniui of the Troy police force hustled into ceuft and poked a warrant at Frank. Tho warrant charged the young man with burglary, which is rathrr remarkable since lie is woith $100,000 in his own right. Justice* Duffy read the document carefully and remanded the prisoner to the custody of the Trojan captain. "Oh, it's only a trump d up charge to get me to Troy," said young Miller; "tue old man seems to want nie and I will go." Tlie captain gave the youth a look which indicated that if there was any doubt in his mind about his return he could set it at rest on the spot. As the offUor of the law and his prisoner were leaving the court-room Mrs. Moouey rushed frantically up ami exclaimed in a dramatic maimer: "Frank, I wdl not leave you. if you go to Troy so will I." "That's just thu thing 1 want," aid Capt. MclCeiina. uI have a wan ant for you, too, but 1 del not want to fake you both up to Troy at the same time." The trio took the train for home. Ca| t McKenno declined to say what cbargee had been preferred a .ainst the grass widow. A Peculiar Convention.
