    HER PiTIABLE CfiiEF
Mrs. Buchanan Prostrated
and Penniless.
Bragged from the Collin Containing
Her Husband's Remains—The Dead
Murderer's Lawyers IVill Continue
the Proceedings Before the Su
preme Court.
New York, July 2.—The body of Dr. |
Robert Buchanan arrived at the Grand j
Central station at 8:80 o'clock last night.
It was brought from Sing Sing by under
taker Anthony Huhna of No. 127 Varick
street. The body was taken to the uu
dertaker's rooms at 9 o'clock. A large
crowd of people in the neighborhood
collected in front of the house and were
admitted to view the face of the electro
cuted murderer. A line was formed and
for hours a steady stream of humanity
filed past the casket.
A Pathetic Scone.
At 10:80 o'clock Mrs. Buchanan, the
electrocuted man's widow, came down
stairs, while the doors were temporarily
closed ami the crowd kept out. Sin
had been with the undertaker's family
for an hour and had not seen the body
of her husband since his death. A most
pathetic scene occurred when she entered
the room. Her face was bloodless, her
eyes swollen from weakness and lack of
sleep.
Kissed tlio Cold Lips.
Dressed in black she walked to the
casket and threw herself upon It. She j
kissed the cold lipaof the man she loved. !
"Oh Robert! Robert!" she cried, "you
are gone from me, and how 1 loved you."
She sobbed violently and kissed the red ,
mark made over the right eye of the j
dead inan by the strap that held him in
the electric chair.
Would Not Leave the Body,
f Lawyer George W. Gibbons tried to
console the grief-stricken woman and.
after -a time, endeavored to lead her
away, but without success. Undertaker
Huhna also tried to get her up stairs to
quiet her. "No, No!" she cried. "They
shall not take me from you, Robert. Oh,
mother; oh, my darling!" and she became
wrought up to a high pitch of excite
ment. The lawyer and undertaker then
tried to lift her from the casket to get
her away, but she clung closer to tin
corpse uud cried out to be let alone.
Her Shrieks Heard in the Streets.
Then she let out shriek after shriek
that was heard out ou the street, and
caused the people to mass in great num
bers about the house and try to get in.
Finally Lawyer Gibbons and the under
taker had to almost carry her out of the
room. After much difficulty she was
gotten up stairs in a hysterical condi
tion, where the undertaker's wife
soothe 1 her.
Prostrated and Penniless.
Mrs. Buchanan is to-day a decided ob
ject of pity. She is completely prostra
ted and unable to leave her bed. Resides
she is absolutely penniless.
WILL NOT DROP THE MAM EH.
Buchanan's Lawyers To Proceed as
If He Were Alive.
New York, July 2.—C01. George W. ;
Gibbons, who with A. C. Butts labored i
hard and earnestly to save the wife
murderer, Buchanan, from the electric
chair, stated last evening that he did
not intend to let the case drop now thai
Buchanan had been electrocuted.
"Nothing, however, can be done," lie
said, "until the United .Status supreme
court decides the question of our appeal.
We will perfect our appeal, perhaps
making some modifications, to su:t the
present condition of facts, aud then ask
for an opinion. We will proceed ex
actly the name as though Dr. Buchanan
were alive."
All Rests with b. S. Supremo Court.
"Will you commence an action against
the state, or the warden at > s ing,
for damages, holding them responsible
for the death of your client?" Col. Gib
buns was asked. "Well, you see, we
can do nothing in that direction until
wo get an opinion in regard to our ap
peal. If the United States supreme
court decides against us, we will have
no ground on which to stand. If, on
the contrary, the decision should be in
our favor, we will push the case to the
furthest limit."
A Parallel Case.
Col. Gibbons, when asked if there
were any precedents of counsel continu
irg to light the case of a murderer
after execution, said that the case of tin;
Japanese, Jugiso, had many parallel
lines, and it was upon the decisions in
that case they hung their hopes. "It
Is pretty hard at this time," said Col.
Gibbous in conclusion, "to say just i
what we will do, so far as 1 know, we ;
will pursue that policy."
Mrs. Buchanan Declines To Talk.
Mrs. Buchanan arrived in the city at ;
8 o'clock from Sing Sing, accompanied j
by her child and a representative of Col.
GibbotiH. She declined to make any
statement. The remains of Buchanan
arrived Inst night from Sing Sing in
charge of a Varick street undertaker. I
BEFORE THE ELECTROCUTION.
The Condemned Man Gave Up Hope
Only ul tho baht Moment.
SiugSing, July 2.—Although it was
necessary to apply the current twice be
fore Buchanan was declared dead, the
physicians present express their belief
that the condemned man was uncon
scious after the first shock aud that he
suffered no pain. Others present, how
ever, seemed to believe that electrical <
executions were still a matter of experi- j
meuland uncertainty.
J>r. Gibbs' Statement.
Before the autopsy Dr. Gibss made j
the folowing statement: "I think the
cause of the apparent, partial failure of
of the llrst application of the current
was the fact that the straps were drawn
too tight about tho neck and pliin. per
haps preventing the immediate expul
sion of the air from the lungs and there
fore causing the slight pulsation of the ;
heart., which wo observed. J believe j
Buchanan was unconscious after t lu
ff rst shock and was beyond resuscitation
before the current was turned off the ;
first time. The evidence of life, which
we found, however, was sufficient to ren
dor it necessary, in our opinion, to apply
the current the second time."
Warden Hago Greatly Relieved.
When Buchanan's remains were car
ried to 'ite dissecting tabic uud ine
warden and witnesses left the death
chamber, Warden Sage seemed greatly
relieved. The uncertainty as to his duty
in the matter has greatly worried hi in
and there is no wonder that he felt
relieved. Everything possible was done
by Buchanan's lawyers and his devoted
wife to save him and Warden Sage gave
them all the assistance possible. He
had not fully made up ids mind to go
ahead with the execution yesterday until
after considering for several hours the
dispatch from the attorney general.
Then he notified Buchanan that he must
prepare for death. The condemned man
almost broke kown and inquired as to
his wife's efforts with the governor.
Just at that moment the following dis
patch was handed to the warden which
lie read and passed to Buchanan:
His Agony Pitiable.
Rhinecliff, N. Y. f July 1.
Warden Sage:—"All pleadings in vain.
Governor cannot possibly interfere.
"Annie Buchanan."
When Buchanan read this dispatch
his agony was pituble. He asked that
his wile be allowed to see him when she
returned, but tho warden denied the re
quest, believing it best for both. Short
ly after 10 o'clock Buchanan sent again
for Warden Sage. He had finished a
breakfast consisting of one bowl of milk.
When they met the warden displayed
the greater feeling of the two. Tho
warden asked what was wanted. Bu
chanan thanked Warden Sage for the
kindness that had been shown him in the
prison, and then added with much earn
estness.
Protested His Innocence.
"Warden, these are probably my last
words, aud 1 want you to be in a posi
tion to speak with certainty concerning
my confession which in the future you
may hear I have made. I want to say
to you now that 1 am entirely innocent
of the crime for which 1 am about to be
executed. There was no more morphine
in that woman as administered by me
than there is in you at this moment. I
suppose 1 am not tho first innocent man
to be executed."
A Wronged Wife's Devotion.
When Mrs. Buchanan returned to
Sing Sing she went at once to the prison
and asked to see her husband. This was
denied her as the witnesses were already
assembled in the death chamber and the
minister was preparing Buchanan for
the final moment. rs. Buchanan then
went to a hotel, where she remained un
til the end. Mrs. Buchanan's condition
was indeed more pitiable than that of
her husband. Deceived and subjected
to tlie most cruel treatment by him, east
aside for another ,w io took her place,
sin* labored with the heroism of a strong
nature to save Ruchauan, and, failing,
finds herself alone, peuuiless, without
friends, her child a charge ou the city of
New York.

you permit daily. You allow military
drills to take place at Key West and
Tampa, Fla. You do not lutend to a:d
the insurgents directly, but you tolerate
the drilling of military companies within
your territory to aid the insurgents
against your good faith in your treaty
with Spain.
To Arouse Friendly Sentiment.
"Of course tlie people and tho govern- j
ment of the United States are not en

"The present war may last one, or
even two years longer, but Spain will
win in the end. Tho principal oppo- 1
sit ion comes from sympathizers in the
United States. I speak from the Span

province of Asturias in Spain. I own I
the largest cigar factory in Havana, and '

Cardinal Gibbons Declines
a Vatican Offer.
Asked by tho Pope To Surrender
His Diocese of Baltimore, Md.,
and Beside In Homo and Take
Part In ilie Polities of tlio Vatican, i
j Views of tho Cardinal's Friends.
London, July 2.—A dispatch received
here from Rome says that tho pope has
invited Cardinal Gibbons to surrender
his diocese, that of Baltimore, Md., and
to reside in Rome and take part in tho
politics of tho Vatican, but that Cardi
nal Gibbons declined the offer.
Opinion at Baltimore.
Baltimore, July 2.—A dispatch was
received here last night from liome
stating that cardinal Gibbons had do
j clined tho pope's invitatio i to surrender
his American diocese and to reside in
Rome, taking part in tho politics of tho
Vatican. No significance is attached to
the dispatch by the cardinal's friends in
this city. One ot them said:
Would Not Abandon His Charge.
"Even admitting it to bo a fact that
the pope would extend to his eminence
! such au invitation, which is very uu
i lkely, it would be contrary to all of
j Cardinal Gibbons' ideas to abandon the
; distinguished and responsible position as
] tiie head of the cliur h in American to
: engage in the affairs of tho Vatican.
A Very Patriotic American.
| "Those statements doutless grew out
of the very prominent place which the
j cardinal just now is occupying in tho
i public eye, both in this country and in
i Europe. Cardinal Gibbons, while a
strong churchman, is also a very pat- 1
riotic American, and knows he can ren- j
dor tho church far greater service in his i
present eminent station than in any \
which he would bo called upoutouccupy ;
at Rome."
