ON TRIAL FOR HER LIFE
Case Against Mrs. Harry Samp
son Is Called.
Widow, Who Is Only Twenty-Three,
Faces a Jury In Lyons, N. Y., on
Charge nf Shooting Husband After
Quarrel She Declares He Com
mitted Suicide Testimony Against
Her Includes Absence of Powder
Marks on Dead Man's Clothing.
The cane of Mrs. Georgia Allyn
Sampson, accused of shooting to death
her husband, Harry Sampson, on Nov.
1, 1908, was called for trial at Lyons,
N. Y., on Monday. The prominence of
the two families Harry Sampson's
uncle was tho late Rear Admiral
William T. Sampson, who commanded
the fleet at Santiago, while the Allyns
are among the wealthy folks of this
part of the state has made the al
leged murder the principal topic of
conversation around the hearths of
the county nil through the winter.
In the courtroom today Mrs. Samp
son preserved the same nonchalant de
meanor that has marked her since her
arrebt. She has declared that her law
yers will p-ove that Harry Sampson
committed cuiclde after a quarrel with
her. despite the damaging testimony
that will he adduced against her.
Justice Adalbert P. Rich of Auburn
presides at the trial.
The shooting of Harry Sampson oc
curred at Macedon, a village about
eighteen miles west of Lyons. He was
twenty-Beven years old and had been
married to Georgia Allyn six years.
She Is now only twenty-three. The
young couple lived In a house occu
pied partly by the family of the wlfe'a
parents. Probably It would be nice
correct to say that the Sampsons lived
with the Allyns. The shooting took
place In the Allyns' dining room, and
the young man died In a living room
used by the two families.
After the shooting the riflewas found
standing in a corner of the room which
saw the tragedy, and medical men will
declare on the witness stand that the
bullet which killed young Sampson
ranged downward, as though fired
from the stairs down which his wife
ran after the report was heard. There
were no powder marks on his cloth
ing. Georgia Sampson was indicted on
Feb. 8, the grand jury charging her
with murder in the flrst degree. On
the following day George Sumpson,
father of the man whom she Is ac
cused of killing, died suddenly of
Brlght's dlseasp. It Is asserted that
grief over the shooting hastened his
death.

ness for the year had been reached

$2,000 Payment Few Days Before.
in the finding of the bodies of Lud
wlg Krueger, aged 6G, and his wife,
aged 03 billed in the cellar of their

CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM
Abolished and Georgia Will Work
State Prisoners on Public Roads.
The last rag of Georgia's convict
lease system was shaken off at sun
rise on Thursday last. Throughout
the state hundreds of human beings
were being led from the depths o(
mines, from the choking kilns, from
the whirring, dark atmosphere of fac-
torles, out into the sunlight, from thq
control of harsh and often brutal task
masters Into the service of the state.
Georgia has no state penitentiary.
For years her convicts have been sold
Into the mines, into the brick kilns
into the factories.
But the state decided to abolish
this traffic in white as well a black
slaves, so Instead of selling its 1,600
prisoners It will work them on the
public roads.
The change went Into effect at day
light, when the convicts were return'
ed to the counties In which their
crimes had been committed. Most of
the unfortuiiates are blacks.
Though shackled and ironed, the
convicts gieeted the change wtth
phouts of Joy and weird hymns of
ihnnksglvlng. Negro preachers were
at most of the stockades and led the
blacks in their impromptu praise ser
vice. Special trains were waiting and
tho prisoners were transferred as
rapidly as possible to their new quar
ters. AIRSHIP SPORT OF THE WIND
Count Zeppelin Landed In a Marsh
After Being Up 11 Hours.
The Zeppelin airship made an at
tempt to fly from Frledrlchshafen to
Munich and back. It encountered a
Btorm and was driven far out of Its
course, and after eleven hours In the
air, landed safely at Dlnggolflng, 65
miles northeast of Munich.
Pari of the Journey was made un
der circumstances of peril. One of
the motors refused to work, and it
was Impossible for the airship to make
headway ngalnst the wind that In
creased steadily in violence. Helpless
and drifting rapidly to leeward, the
al'Rhtp travelled for four hours while
Count Zeppelin and his men awaited
an opportunity to make a safe and
successful landing.
Count Zeppelin's feat In safely land
ing in a gale which was blowing about
35 miles an hour. Is highly praised by
aeronauts who have tried the experi
ment. He was desirous of returning
to Munich to spend the night, but the
wind Increased in violence and it was
Impossible for htm to do so. He made
a successful return to Munich the
next morning.

ROOSEVELT IN NAPLES
Ex-President Came Ashore Al
most Undiscovered.
Met Gugllalulo Ferraro, the Historian.
Went With Mr. Griseom In Auto
mobile to Caplmonte to Visit Duke
and Duchess of Aosta Spent 8ome
Tim In Naples Museum Boarded
Admiral Late at Night For Mom
basa Will Stop at Messina.
Naples. April 6. The great crowds
ashore, who had been waiting for
hours to see the former president, be
came exceedingly Impatient at the de
lay, but even when the Scorpion's
launch, with Mr. Roosevelt aboard, did
come ashore, they were ignorant of
the fact and the distinguished visitor
reached the landing stage practically
undiscovered. When, however, he
appeared In an automobile and pro
ceeded to the Hotel Excelsior a great
roar broke from the crowd, and he
was cheered continuously all along
the route. The ovation moved Mr.
Roosevelt to remark:
"It seems that the Italians can make
as much noise as the Americans after
all."
Arrived nt the hotel, the ex-presl-dent
received with the greatest cor
diality the Americans and foreigners
who had gathered there to welcome
him. He spoke for some minutes
with Gugllelmo Ferrero, the historian,
who recently returned from an extend
ed visit to the United States, and
whom Mr. Roosevelt recognized Imme
diately. Many of those assembled,,
however, could only receive a smil
and a handshake, as there was little
time for words, It being then nearly
3 o'clock..
Lunch was served at the hotel,
among those at the table with the ex
president being his son Kermlt, Am
bassador Grlsccm, Consul Crowln
shield and Mrs Crownlnshleld, Lieu
tenant Commander Logan, John W.
Garrett, first secretary of the embas
sy; Wlnthrop Chandler, Mrs. Garrett
and Miss Cartright. The party was a
merry one, frequent outbursts of
laughter being heard as Mr. Roose
velt described some of his advantures
aboard ship. He seemed to be in the
best of health and spirits and express
ed himself as looking forward Impa
tiently to his arrival at Mombasa.
Meets Duke and Duchesa of Aosta.
Following the lunch, Mr. Roosevelt
proceeded in a motor car with Mr.
Grlscom to Caplmonte to meet the
Duke and Duchess of Aosta at their
palace, which is the most magnificent
In the Neapolitan provinces, with its
extensive gardens and splendid pros
pert. On the way to the palace Mr.
Roosevelt confessed that this visit was
Intensely Interesting to him, not only
because of his desire to meet the
duke and duches3 personally but be
cause of the official nature of the
meeting, the duke representing King
Victor Emmanuel.
The ex-nresldent was warmly wel
comed at the palace entrance and the
duke received him in private, the two
conversing at great length concerning
affairs in the United States, the
voyage Just ended, the ex-presldent's
prospective hunting trip and the ex
periences of the Duke of the Abruzzl.
The duke expressed the hope that
Mr. Roosevelt would meet the Count
of Turin, who Is now on a shooting
expedition In Africa. Later Mr.
Roosevelt was presented to the Duch
ess of Aosta, and they conversed to
gether for frome twenty minutes, their
conversation dealing almost entirely
with hunting In Africa, where the
duchess had spent some time. She
gave Mr. Roosevelt many hints, which
he laughingly promised to carry out.
The room In which the meeting oc
curred was resplerdent with trophies
of the duchess'. African expedition,
being hung with elephants' tusks, deer
antlers and the skins of tigers and
Hops, whlr-h, however, she would not
say had fallen before her gun.
The good Impression was mutual,
as, while Mr. Roosevelt was charmed
wtth the duchess, the latter said after
his departure that the ex-presldent
was the most Interesting American
she had ever met she might almost
say, the most Interesting man.
Visits the Pompelan Rooms.
The party proceeded to the museum
in Naples, where Mr. Roosevelt said
he would have liked to spend hours.
But the time was short and they went
direct to the Pompelan rooms. The
bronzes particularly attracted him and
be said: "I shall now get an Idea of
what I want to see when I return.
Such a museum deserve days of
study; It lias been entirely transform
ed since I was here before."
Mr. Roosevelt desires it to he
known, especially In the United States
?nd England, that he received In
Naples several thousand letters and
telegrams, but not having a secretary
nt his disposal, It was a physical Im
possibility for him to reply to these.
Ho wishes to thank all for their kind
thoughtfulness.
Returning from Capodimonte the
ex-presldent received the civic author
ities at the hotel and the most cor
dial expressions of friendship in the
name of Italy and the United States
were exchanged.
The dinner at the hotel was of a
strictly private nature, after which
Mr. Roosevelt boarded the Admiral
about 10 o'clock. He was accom
panied by Ambassador Grlscom and
Lieutenant Commander Belknap, who
w ill go to Messina with hlin.
