ed to f‘ ,. Lv-dwons.
Albany. May 5.—'l‘ ie verdict of mur-
der in the first degree against Howard
A. Scott, convicted of shooting his wife,
Maggie Scott, in New York city in 1335,
was affirmed today by the court of ap-
peals, and he must pay the extreme
penalty. He was cgnvicted on Jan. 22,
1897.
The court also affirmed the decision
of conv'ntion of murder, first. degree, of
Giuseppe Constantino of Utica for the
killing of Pietro Domenicho Galiotti.
The appellants held that the judge’s
charge plainly showed that, in his opin-
ion, the defendant was guilty, improp-
erly influencing the minds of the jury-
men. .
The court reversed the decision of
conviction of rs-urder in the second de-
gree of Joseph Ledwon, and man-
slaughter, first degree, in the case of.
Annie Ledwon. On the morning of
Sept. 11, 1890, George Borowiec was
found in his dwelling house in Buffalo
suspended by the neck by a rope. He
was the husband of Annie Ledwon,
who, after his death, married Ledwon.

Johnson Expirstcs tip.- )Iur'irvr of Annie
.. Beelinian on the inflows.-
Somerville, N. J., May 6.—Jacob S.
Johnson, a colored preac her, was hang-
ed here today for killing a. girl who
lived in his family by strangling her.
Sheriff Wyckoff had removed all the
prisoners from the north end of the
West corridOr of the jail to the east
side, where the ten day men are usual-
ly kept.
Hangman .Van Hise of Newark, who
arrived last evening with his gallows,
then went to work and put .3 the in-
strument of death in the west corridor.
It was constructed similarly to the way
the gallows is usually erected in the
Hudson county jail. Johnsonpassed a
restless night and was awake at day-
light. ~
Johnson bore up well and died pray-
mg.
The crime for which Johnson gave
up his life on the gallows was commit-
ted .on the night of Sept. 14, 1895. On
the following morning, which was Sun-
day, P. N. Dow, who lives near the
cemetery, south of the town, was taking
a. walk along the Raritan river not far
from his house, when he discovered
footprints and other evidences of a
struggle on the roadway, which runs
through the woods skirting the river.
Looking into the bushes, Dow saw
the body of a. woman, which proved to
be that of Annie Beekman or Rogers.
The woman had evidently been stran-
gled to death. .
The inquest revealed the fact that the
murdered woman had been staying
with the Johnson family in a small
house on the Elmendorf place just over
the river. Johnson and the woman had
been to Neshanic on Saturday, where
Annie got $47.60 from Calvin Carle.
She put the money in a. purse and
placed the-purse in her bosom. John-
son and the woman returned to Somer.
ville and were seen that night by sev-
eral people about the town. About 12:30
a man, and woman who answered to
the description of Johnson and Annie
Beekman crossed the Central railroad
tracks going toward Johnson’s home.
The man carried a bag on his shoulder
such as Johnson was shown to have
had early in the evening.
Johnson and his wife were arrested
on the strength of these facts, but Mrs.
Johnson was soon discharged. 0n the
trial the state produced such a. strong
chain of circumstantial evidence con-
necting Johnson with the crime that he
was found guilty.
The case had dragged along for a
great while, appeal after appeal having
been taken. Johnson vigorously denied
his guilt.
POSTAL CONGRESS MEETS.
A Notable Gathering \Vhich \Vill Discuss
the Handling of the Mails.
Washington, May 6.—-The universal
postal congress met today in the great
hall of the old Corcoran Art gallery.
About 60 countries, comprising most of
those in the postal union, were repre-
sented. _ Korea, China. and the Orange.
Free State, which are now outside the
pale of the‘union, had delegates pres-
ent. It is expected that the work of
the congress will extend over about six
weeks. Most of the work will be trans-
acted by committees which will submit
the result of their labors to the con:
gress about once a week. The present
postal agreement will be revised and
renewed. Several important questions
will be considered, among them a prop-
osition to transmit the official mail of
the countries which are members of the
union free of charge, the question of
increasing the unit of weight to be car-
ried under a 5 cent stamp from one-
half ounce to three-fourths of an ounce,
and also a proposition for a universal
stamp.
