Governor Morton, Grants the Murderer
a Respite of a Week.
WIFE’S PRAYERS AND TEARS
The Executive Granted Time Only Because
It Was Alleged That Buchanan Had
Not Prepared For Death—The
Murderer Still Hopeful.
ALBANY, April 24.——Governor Morton
has granted a respite for a week to Dr.
Robert W. Buchanan, the New York poi-
sonerfwho was to have been executed by
electricity at Sing Sing tomorrow.
Dr. Buchanan’s wife and Mrs. Coleman
of New York city waited upon the govern-
or at the executive Chamber early today.
Mrs. Buchanan made an earnest plea for
the life of her husband.
They were with the governor, in the
large reception room, for nearly an hour,
and all visitors were kept out for the first
time in years. '
The governor at first said that he could
not interfere, but Mrs. Buchanan’s plead-
ings were so pathetic that he finally grant-
ed a Week’s respite, principally to give the
condSmned man time in which to prepare
for death.
When Mrs. Buchanan and her friend
.left the executive chamber, they wore es-
corted by the governor’s private secretary,
Colonel Ashley W. Cole, who allowed them
to escape observation by passing through
the private entrance to the executive cham-
ber direct to the corridor on the second
floor of the capitol.
Mrs. Buchanan appeared utterly cast
down in spirit. Her companion, Mrs.
Coleman, was more cheerful.
Mrs. Buchanan.
She first began to be excused from dis-
closing her identity, saying she was acting
on behalf of Mrs. Buchanan purely from
motives of sympathy. Mrs. Buchanan
could not control herself suflicientlyto say
anything. '
Her friend said she and Mrs. Buchanan
had reached the city on the 9:15 o’clock
train last evening, and that they were
stopping at Stanwix Hall. “We came to
the capital,” said she, “about 9 :30 this
morning from Stanwix Hall, where we
stopped last night. Mrs. Buchanan did
not purposely wait until the last minute
to make her plea. She could not get here
any earlier. The governor received us very
kindly and Was much affected. He grant-
sd us a stay for a week. He wanted me
to take the money for the expenses of our
trip from New York, but I did not 'do it,
although I understand he is a rich man.
We telegraphed the stay immediately. ”
The Scene In the Executive Chamber. ".
Governor Morton was telephoned for ._
9:30 o’clock and hastened over to the exec~
utive chamber. When he had taken his
seat at the desk. the women were shown
in and approached the executive. He arose
from his chair and shook hands with both
of them, and then there was a dramatic
scene. For at least three minutes nobody
spoke, but Mrs. Buchanan pressed her
handkerchief to her eyes and wept audibly,
while her companion cried softly, and
there was a suspicious moisture in the gov-
ernor’s eyes. ‘
Then Mrs. Buchanan said: “Oh, I can’t
ask! Please, Mrs. Coleman, you speak.”
Mrs. Coleman said: “Governor, Dr. Bu-
chanan must die, as you have decreed, but
we are here to ask you to give him time to
prepare himself. Those who have been in
charge of his case have bolstered up his
hopes, and he is not prepared to meet his
fate. Cannot you give him another
month?” '
Before the governor could answer Mrs.
Buchanan stretched out her hand, and
touching his arm said in a broken voice:
“Oh, please, governor, do give him some
time. Please do i”
The governor hesitated a few moments,
and then said:
“I am really unable to understand why
the convicted man has not had plenty of
preparation, and I cannot grant your re-
quest for a month’s respite. ”
Both women repeated their prayer for
time, and finally the governor said:
“Well, I will give Dr. Buchanan one
week’s respite, merely on the assumption
that he is not prepared to die. ”
Both women thanked him and left the
chamber weeping. .
Laterthe governor gave out this official
order:
”Upon further consideration, and upon
. the personal application cf the pris’oner’s
wife, a respite has been granted until May
l, 1895.”
’ Buchanan sun Cheerful.
SING SING, April 24.——The buoyancy
which characterized Buchanan today as he
stood almost face to face with death was
like that of a consumptive whose death is
but a question of days, whose condition is
apparent to every one but himself.
Buchanan is of that peculiar tempera-
ment which does not take grave things seri-
Pously, as strong men do. '
Buchanan could retire between12 and 1
o’clock this morning and sleep soundly till
almost_10 o’clock. Thisdie did last night,
and he has been doing it every night, and
through the day he has been eating heart-
ily and with relish.
At about 10:45 o’clock today Warden
Sage received a telephone message from
Private Secretary Cole at Albany announe
ing that the governor had granted Buch-
anan a respite of one week. and that the
official announcement would be forwarded
at once to Ehe warden by special messen-
ger.
Dr. Buchanan had just finished his
breakfast when the telephone in the ward-
en’s’Ofiice rang.
The warden went down to Buchanan’s
cell and informed him of the fact. Buch-
anan was not demonstrative. His face
brightened up. but otherwise be displayed
not much, feeling.
His firSt question to the warden was as
to the exact meaning of the respite—-
whether it meant until Monday next or
until a week from Thursday next, for Buch-
anan has long been under the impres-
sion thathe was to be executed on Thurs-
day. Warden Sage said he" did not know
how the condemned man got that impres-
correct it.

N0 unw’ DISCOVERED.
The Murder of Alice Walsh Is Still an
Unsolved Mystery.
NEW YORK POLICE BAFFLED.
0
Not a Single Arrest In the Case Has Yet
Been Made—Stumpy Walker, an Old ~
Friend of Alice, Is Now Wanted
by the Shrewd Detectives.
. NEW YORK, April 24.—The murderer of
Alice Walsh is still in the enjoyment of his
liberty.
The police are making heroic efforts to
run him down and are striving equally
hard to prevent newspaper reporters from
finding the murderer for them. They have
applied the gag to every person who would
be likely to be able to identify the com-
panion of the unfortunate woman who
was found bleeding to death in the hall-
way cf 143 Thompson street early last Sun-
day morning. -
The central office detectives claim that
they have exploded the theory that the
mysterious person known as “Big Louis”
had anything to do with the murder of
ALICE “’ALSH.
Alice Walsh. It is said he was seen With
her after she left the Yorktown hotel
early on Sunday morning, and that she
Went with him to Garland’s saloon.at the
corner of Houston and Thompson streets.
Chief Detective McClusky was found at
headquarters and asked if there was any
truth in the rumor that “Big Louis” had
been arrested.
“No,” replied the detective, “he is not
a prisoner, but he has been located and has
been seen and talked to by some of the
men.”
In conclusion, Detective McClQIsky said:
‘.‘We have not yet arrested a single pris-
oner in the case. ” '
Police Want Stumpy Walker.
It was rumored today that the police
were looking for another man who had
been intimate with the murdered woman.
This man is familiarly known as
“Stumpy” Walker. He is lame and walks
with a crutch.
The police have no idea or no proof that
this man can be held to account for the
fatal stab wound, but they believe if found
he will be able to throw some light on the
identity of the man who accompanied Alice
to the Yorktown hotel.
Alice was very fond of “Stumpy,” al-
though he treated her cruelly, and she al-
ways carried black and blue marks, the re-
sult of his heavy fists.
Several witnesses, who are believed to
know‘ much about the associates of the
murdered woman,have mysteriously disap-
peared. Among these are
Amanda and her sister, “Tinnie.”
They formerly lived in the colored lodg-
ing house at 206 Thompson street, which
is also frequented by a few white women,
and were seen there last Sunday night by
reporters. Since that time, however, they
have dropped out of sight, and it is said
that the police have induced them to keep
out of the way while the investigation is
going on. , ,
Proprietor Dion of the Yorktown hotel
has also suddenly disappeared, and no
trace of him can be found.
Another Theory Advanced.
It was said that the police expected to
obtain further information from ”Dutch”
Kelly, who at one time consorted with the
murdered woman. and who has since been
identified as Richard Hernian, a barkeeper
for A. Engle, at 135 South Fifth avenue.
It was two years ago that he lived with
Alice, and he says that one of her associ-
ates at that time was a truckman named
Louis, who was a tall, dark, well built
man, and might be taken for an Italian.
Louis Laval, the carpenter. of 137
Thompson street, who was at one time be—
lieved to be the “Big Louis” referred to,
has satisfactorily accounted for himself.
Although the police of the Macdougal
Street station have searched high and low,
they have been unable to discover that
Alice Walsh had any home other than the
streets of the city.
She had been familiar to them by sight
for years, and to many others in that
neighborhood she was known as an out-
cast, but ‘where she spent her time is a
mystery that no one has yet been able to
solve.
The only place which she is known to
have frequented at all regularly was the
Yorktown hotel, where she spent a part of
the evening previous to her death. This
and other places of a similar character are
believed by the police to have been all the
home she had since she began leading the
life of an outcast.
The Unsavory Yorktown Hotel.
The patrons of the Yorktown were
chiefly the outcast women who swmm the
streets at night in that part of the town,
and who brought men there of the very
lowest and most depraved character.
Alice Walsh was one of them. Some-
times she slept here and sometimes at oth-
er places ef the same character, for there
are many of them in that locality. She
was known' throughout the neighborhood
as one of the most persistent rounders in
the precinct. She had been frequently ar-
rested by the police, both in the streets
..—1
and in raids which had been made w ya. ‘
“Gimpy” '
ITcTus ho'fises of iII'i'ep—ute ii {3th Emmy;
Despitethese facts, which appeared to
be-known to every one-in the vicinity,
Mrs. Dion, the wife of theaged proprietor
of the hotel, denied positively that she
knew any such person as Alice Walsh or
had ever seen her. But this was after the
police had visited the house and taken
possession. Proprietor Dion exhibited the
same lack of 'memory »of 'the murdered
woman.
