NKW YORK, May 7. Frail, but cool
young Mrs. Patrick 6'8haughnes.v told '
the coroner without a tremor of remorse
or fear In her voice that she hud killed her
husband last night to save his soul. It was
nti astounding declaration quite In the same
key with her manner of yesterday, when
she went Into a police station and Informed
the sergeant, "I've Just shot and killed my
husband."
She wants to be punished at once, before
the birth of her child. It would have been
easier to commit suicide, she explained.
but In that case the husband she loved
would have foresworn his religion for the
wnmai. who had supplanted her. Rather
than see that, she killed him and rather
than add tha crime of suicide to murder
she chose to give herself up and let the
Justice of man take Its course.
"I hid the revolver In the folds of my
dress." said the little woman, "and came. !
upon George as he was hunting for letters
I had found, letters that told me the other
woman's name, the letters be hud for

not account for It. We talked of her. George
loved me through It all. but when he was
with her. he said, he forget his country,
his religion, his wife and his coming child.
"I feH on my knees and asked him If
there was no chance for" us to he happy
together again. He pushed mc off. Then
I shot him. As he lay on the floor I stooped
and kissed his lips. Then I gave myself
up."
Mrs. O'Shaughnessy was committed to
the Tombs without bail. Her husband was
a store cashier only L'l j cars old and the
girl whom he loved better than his wife Is
but 18. She is heartbroken. O'Khaughnessy
told her he was unmarried.

An Impression and delineation of Andrew

London by O. Walker Child. These are his
comments:
'This hand is character! zed by it's un
usual amallnees. the peculiar development
of the finger tips, the strong firm thumb,
and the fact that the fingers are of the
same length as the palm.' The Impression
produced Is one of proportion and exact
ness. There is Uttle idealism indicated,
and none of the excesses to which many
successful business men are addicted. Kv.
erything 1a taken from a practical stand
point The eentrai line crossing the hand
Is -toter and cleaiv and '-slightly ''separated
from the line encircling the thumb, thus
showing strong Intellectual faculties, self
reliance and concentration. The fingers
are placed evenly, the first being short
and bent the fourth long and pointed. The
former Indicates an absence of 'side.' the
latter shrewdness. The. thumb ts heavy
for the alse of the hand, and shows a mas
terful will, good reasoning power, and
combined with the strong fourth finger,
ability to control and influence others. In
a word, this hand, shows the practical man,
devoid of sentiment."

Expresses His Opinion.
SOME DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY
Real Fight to. Come on in the Next
Day or Two.'
IS TO BE A SPIRITED CONFLICT
Decision Not Likely to Be Reached
Until Last Moment.
SITUATION IS A PECULIAR ONE
Effort to Be Made to Force Mr Wil

Declare I he Waster Whom
He Will Serve.
NEW YORK. May 7 (Special Telegram.1)
William B. Northrup, a member of the
Canadian parliament from Belleville. Ont.,
in an Interview today, told of some of the
difficulties that lie In the way of the pas
sage of the reciprocity treaty in this coun
try. Mr. Northrup is a leading member of
the conservative, or opposition party, the
party which declares that reciprocity spells
annexation, and will have none of it. Sum
ming up the situation as he uvea It. in one
sentence he declared that: "Reciprocity Is
by no means out of the Canadian woods.
II Is only fair to the government to say
that they have given all the time they
possibly could under the ctrcumstances to
the question.
"But it has been only a desultory discus
sion. The real fight Is due In the next
day or two and it will probably be a
spirited conflict. I do not wish to fore
cast what my party will do In the case, in
fact, its course will not be decided until
the last moment. It Is a tremendous re
sponsibility which Is taken when supply
bills are, held up. for the party doing so
is arraigned before the public, and If the
reason for Its course is not a good one. It
is bound to Buffer defeat.
Hltuatton la Peculiar.
"In the present ca.cn, the situation Is a
peculiar one. fir Wilfred Laurler is bound
to try to get the treaty accepted by the
present session of parliament and as he
has booked his passage to sail for England
May 12 he has only a few days In which
to accomplish his object. Now, the op
position ts bitterly opposed to the treaty
and it might mind I don't say It will
but It might hold up the supply bills and
either force the prime minister to a com
promise by which the treaty would go
over to the next session, next November, or
It might force him to appeal to the coun
trv. "Sir Wilfred is thus placed In a very un
comfortable position. On the one hand he
Is In duty bound to sail on , May 11 to at
tend. ttM Imperial eo(igresf the premier;
and on tbe ether hand he is bound by his
advocacy of the treaty Ito stay In Canada
and see It through. Home of the papers
are saying: 'We'll see if Laurler Is stronger
for Uncle Bam, or for the empire..' "

TENVER, Colo.. May 7. At 11:4 o'clock
tonight the Joint assembly of the Colorado
legislature, balloting to elect a successor to
the lste United States( Senator Charles J.
Hughes, Jr., was formally dissolved, leav
ing unbroken the deadlock which has ex
isted since January 12. As a result, Colo
rado, with practically a complete demo
cratic state administration and with an
overwhelming democratic majority In the
legislature, will be represented In the
United States senste for the next two years
by a soltary republican,. Simon Guggen
heim. A personal fight waged against Mayor
Robert W. Speer of Denver, the leading
candidate, whose final strength of thirty
three votes in the balloting was exactly
one-half of the democratic majority In the
legislature. Is held responsible for the fail
ure to elect a senator. The closing hours
of the Joint assembly were marked by the
refusal of State Senator Thomas J. McCue,
Mayor Speer's campaign manager, to ac.
cept the nomination for the senatorshlp at
the hands of antl-Speers men. Just before
the announcement of the seventh and final
ballot It appeared that McCue's election
would be brought sbout. State Senator
Irby, Mayor Speers' private secretary,
rushed from the chamber for a conference
with his chief and the report thrilled the
assembly that he had gone to bring word
of Speers' withdrawal and pave the way
to McCue's election. His return shattered
the hopes of those who still thought an
election might be brought about. He said
Speer would stick to the bitter end. A mo
ment later Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald
dropped his gavel with the words, "I am
ringing down the curtain on the greatest
farce comedy In the political history of

Preacher Says Only Crime Is tarry

!!V-.V', Yannjr 0rj and I wr.te-.. "
Investigation.
LINCOLN. May 7. Reports have reached
this city that Rev. U G. Parker, who
recently left Sterling and waa made the
victim of several attacks at the time, is
being urged by citizens of that place to
return.
Rev. Parker, who until he assumed
chsrge of the church In the Johnson
county town, was a resident of this city.
where he still owns considerable property,
declares that the attack upon him grew
entirely out of a thoughtless act on his
part and which was nothing mors than the
carrying of a missive from a young man to
young lady In Sterling.
A delegation of Methodists from Sterling
are said to have visited the city yesterday
urging the preacher to return to his
charge. Before taking up his residence In
this city Rev. Parker had charge of
churches at Wytnore and at Seward.
Parker Makes Statement.
In speaking of the difficulty experienced
at Sterling Rev. Parker said last night:
"Let the people read carefully and keep
posted in this case. In regsrd to the care
less reports In the newspapers about L. G.
Parker, I wish to say as soon as I receive
some important papers this case will be
prosecuted to the finish. As I stated be
fore, I carried a letter from a young man
to m young girl and if that Is a crime I
am a criminal. Some have enlarged upon
this until thny bring character into ques
tion, which In fact this was foreign to my
statement until reporters got hold of It.
"I shall let the law take Its course upon
those who did not commit crime and if I
am guilty of a single act that is wrong In
the case, I challenge any party to prove
It. I have papers I think that will settle
the case in the pudgment of an intelligent
public We will publish in a few days In
detail. I am well aware that the black
man and the preacher are subject to mob
law. A certain class of Ulbreds are always
after the preacher, but be patient and lis
ten to the conclusion of ths whole 'matter.
I have not said much about the case In
the newspapers as yet on the advice of
my counsel."
