One of the most peouliat .phases of

of 1,623 Powell street. She is a widow
about 50 years of age, and has a son 24
years old. The WOHISH was evidently in
love with the murderer, but his professions
of a shatter nature were but hollow. On
list Monday she visited him in his cell, and
after conversing for some time with him,
the said:

you." .
He replied that he thought it would, and
she started off to make- the necessary
preparations. SelinhiliterheWidah-"Wheelet.

thin what it was, and the thug replied:
