HARROWING some in COURT,
Recorder Gon‘ Fixes the Week Beginning
Aug. 19 For the Execution—Futile
Efforts of the Girl’s Counsel
to Secure Delay.
NEW YORK, July 19.—Maria Barberi,
the convicted murderess, sat trembling in
her cell in the Tombs prisOn today, sob-
bing and praying by turns.
Today she knew that she was to be
sentenced to die. She had been told many
a time within the past few days that she
would not really have to die; that the
sentence of the court would never be car-
‘ ried out; but, ignorant as she is, she knew
that her escape from paying the death
penalty was by no means certain.
So she sat on her cot and Wept and
moaned and prayed aloud. After awhile a
matron took to her a tray upon which was
spread a dainty breakfast, but Maria could
only drink a cup of ccfiee and nibble at a
bit of bread.
At 9:30 o’clock Mrs. Foster, the best
friend Maria ever had, went to the girl
and soothed and partly calmed her.
Father Ferretti, a priest of the Church
of the Transfiguration, also called on the
girl and prayed with her.
Contessa D. di Brazza Savargnon, who
yesterday visited Maria, and who has
Worn to work for her release, sent a great
box of beautiful red roses, but Warden
Fallon would not allow them to go in.
Maria’s mother, a little, thin, care
worn woman, sat by her daughter’s side
and tried hard to keep the tears back, but
Without avail.
It was after 10 o’clock when the girl
was led, trembling with an awful fear,
across the Bridge of Sighs from the Tombs
to the criminal court building. Mrs. Foss
ter was with her, her arms about. ,aria’s
waist and her low voice still whi poring
comfort into the girl’s ears.
On the Bridge of 813119.
There were many other persons to plead
and to be sentenced by Recorder Goff be-
fore it came Maria Barberi’s turn to stand
before the bar, and so the girl and Mrs.
Foster were permitted to sit on two chairs
midway on the Bridge of Si hs.
Up stairs in part two of th court of gen-
eral sessions, where Recorder Goff was
sitting, the room was crowded, and a
great crowd stood without in the corridors,
clamorous for admission, but held back
by the court officers.
Among those who were kept without
the room were Maria’s mother and sister.
It was thought they might make a scene
if they were admitted.
The father and brother of the girl were
allowed to stay within the room upon
promise to make no outcry.
The Countess Savargnon sat with her
pretty young secretary and a friend in one
of the I“ no seats.
Mr. house announced that he would try
to get the day of sentence postponed in or-
der to permit him to look more thoroughly
into the case.
The crowd outside the courtroom in-
creased to tremendous proportions, and
central office detectives were sent for to
keep in hand certain cranks who raved
and swore that Maria should not be sen-
tenced.
Maria Barber! at the Bar.
Recorder (3011' disposed of some other
cases, and it was 11:17 o’clock when Maria
Barberi was sent for.
By that time the room was crowded to
suffocation, and in the throng outside the
doors Italian women with tears streaming
down their cheeks sued in .vain for admis‘
sion.
In a few minutes the door at the ex-
treme end of the room was opened, and
Maria Barbcri and Mrs. Foster entered,
closely followed by a court ofiicer.
The girl was supported by Mrs. Foster
as she dragged herself through the living
aisle of spectators to the bar of the court.
Then Maria’s pedigree was taken. She
said in a low voice that she was 22 years
old, had been a dressmaker, was single,
could read and write very little, was a Ro-
man Catholic, and that she never drank
any intoxicating liquors.
This being put upon the record, Mr.
McIntyre arose and moved that the sen-
tence of death he passed upon her. In
making this motion Mr. McIntyre said
in his opinion the counsel for Maria had
done everything that lay in their power to
awaken the sympathy of the jury for her
and to interpose a defense.
The girl’s head was resting upon Mrs.
Foster’s shoulder, and she gave no sign
that she understood what Mr. McIntyre
had said.
“Have you any legal cause to Show why
the sentence of death should not now be
passed upon you?” asked Clerk Carroll.
Maria. did not move, but Lawyer Evans
moved for a new tri 1 and an arrest
of judgment. He asked he be given a
few days to get from the stenographer the
full text of the recorder’s charge to the
jiiry so that he might make the motion
for a new trial properly and fully.
The Dread Sentence.
Mr. House supplemented Mr. Evans’
motion with a strong and eloquent appeal.
Recorder Goff answered in an almost in-
audible tone that the law would protect
Maria in the higher courts if he had made
any mistakes and he would therefore deny
the motion for delay. ,
The recorder then directed that the de-
fendant arise. She was assisted to her feet
and stood trembling with abject terror at
the bar,‘ Supported by Mrs. Foster, who
had all she could do to keep the girl from
falling.
Then began eight minutes of terrible
torture for the frightened, little woman.
Very slowly and in a voice devoid of all
emotion the recorder began to tell Maria
Barberi how she had been tried by a jury
of "‘more'than ordinary intelligence” for
the murder of Domenico Cataldo and how
everything had been done for her that
could be done, but that it was all of no
avail, and that she must die. ‘
Sentence by sentence the recorder’s
words were translated to the wretched
girl, whose face had taken on a look of
dumb despair.
He said the date of her execution would
be some time during the week beginning
Aug. 19.
Maria was allowed' to sit down, and
then- came the formality, which is only
practiced in the rccorder’s court, of read-
ing the death warrant.
At last that, too, was over, and the re-
corder said:
“Remove the prisoner. ”
She was led by Mrs. Foster from the
room, and amid the wailing of many Ital.-
ian women the door closed upon her and
shut her from view.

nuance exerted by Holmes. Her story was
straightforwardly told, and it is impossi‘
b1..- t—o believe after being any length of
{time in her company that she was either a
fconfederate or accomplice of Holmes in
the commission of any of his crimes.
“Holmes, whom I had never met, ” said
Mrs. Pitezel, “but once before the death of
my husband, seemed from the time he
asked me for the care of the children until
this final arrest to have a peculiar influ-
once over me. I felt controlled by him.
He had a sway over me that then ]
thought natural, since he had been the in-
ytimate friend of my husband. Besides,
‘fny husband had repeatedly told me that]
could trust him; that he was a good man,
_and that he would always be true to us.
'The children idolized him. There was
nothing that he could not do with them.
“Again and again my husband told me
how much he thought of Holmes and how
honorable he was until I came to the same
bpinion myself, although at ‘first I didguot
like the man and told my husband so and
begged him to have nothing to do with
him.
I I olmes’ Pl ausible Yarn.
“I saw my husband last on Aug. 24,
1894. He had gone to St. Louis. He was
then heavily interested with Holmes in
whatever enterprises they had on together,
and I was lying sick with my baby. I
'was very sick. I could not go to Philadel-
phia to identify the body which they sus‘
pected to be that of my husband. It was
after that that Holmes told me that the
body was not that of my husband; that it
was a bogus body made up to look like
him and that if I or the children said
anything about it the insurance company
would get hold of us and we would be
punished severely.
“I was very sick, and I loved Holmes.
He talked kindly and ofl‘cred to take Alice,
Nellie and Howard from me and educate
them. He said that he would send them
to School and pay all of their expenses.
The children loved him, and I was alone
in the world and poor. I let him take
them, and they went away. At this time
and all other times Holmes acted to me
like a gentleman.
"‘ He constantly kept me under the im-
pression, though, that I and the children
were to be mixed up in the bogus body
which he'said was found in Philadelphia.
He said that Pitezel was still alive and
that I would see him again when this
trouble was over. He wished, though, to
sav us from arrest, and after the three
chi en were gone I moved about the
country. I began to worry about the chil-
dren. I wanted to see them and wished to
know where they Were. Holmes always put
me off with the story that I must keep
quiet until the (latcctives stopped their
work.” ‘
Holmps' Story «Proved False.

man Mudgett,"‘alias,H. H. Holmes, alias
H. H. Howard, suspected of having mur-
dered the two Pitezel children at Toronto,
and who is now in custody at Philadel-
phia, would seem to show that he did not
tell the truth when he informed District
Attorney Graham of Philadelphia that the
children were taken to England by the
Williams woman. According to the dis-
patches received here, Holmes is said to
have given the girls into the keeping of
Minnie Williams, who came to this city
from New York and established a. massage
resort at 80 Vedar street. He also said
that she was known here as Minnie Wil-
liams, Geraldine Wander or Adele Covell:
But the inquiries made show that there is
no Vedar street in London, and when

to those mentioned by Holmes, were
searched no trace was found of a. woman

the Murdered Ex-Premier Was Com. .
nectad—How He Mada Prince Fer- i

SOFIA, July 19.—Ex-Premier Stambu-
lofi', who was attacked on the street Mon- '
day, died today from the terrible wounds
which he received at the hands of his as-
sailants. .
LONDON, "July 18.—The Pall Mall Ga-
zette in an article on the assassination of
ex-Premier Stambulofi of Bulgaria says,
“Prince Ferdinand in sitting still in
Carlsbad without a pretense of . bringing
his instruments to justice while at the
same time he sends his chamber-lain to ex-
press his hypocritical sympathy to Mme.
Stambuloff proves himself a coward and
a rascal."
STAMBULOIT’S CAREER.
M. Stambuloff, widely known as the
‘ ‘Bismarck of Bulgaria, ” was born in Tir-
nova, the ancient capital of Bulgaria, in
.1855. It was intended that he should en-
ter the church, and with this endsin view
he studied theology at the seminary of
Odessa.
Upon the breaking out of the insurrec-
tions 013 Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1875
he left the semi-
nary and Lost in
his lot with Hm
party that was
seeking to create
an uprising in
Bulgaria. The
plot failed, and
Stambuloff fled to
Bucharest.
During the Bus-
so-Turkish war in
1877 and 1878 ‘
Stambuloif served
as a volunteer in
the Russian army. ' '
After the election STAMBULOFF’
of Alexander I as prince of Bulgaria he
became a Liberal leader, having already.
been elected a member of thc'sobranje. '
After acting as president of that body
for two years, in August, 1886, he formed 1
with M. Karavclof a movement against
the government and against M. Zankofi’s .'
conspiracy to depose Prince Alexander. ,
In this Stambulofi~ was successful.
The Greatest Man In Bulgaria.
He was sent out at the head of a. depu-
tation to meet and welcome Alexander
upon his return. Russia’s opposition to
Alexander was so great that the latter re-
signed shortly afterward, and Stambulofi‘,
Karavelof and Colonel Mutkuroff were
made regents. Stambulofl‘ was at this
time the greatest man in Bulgaria.
He opposed Russian interference in
Bulgarian affairs and was practically the
ruler of the country until his deposition
in 1894. It was his greatest wish to sever
relations with Turkey and to cause his
country to be recognized as an independ
ent state.
On July 4, 1887, the grand sobranjc, at
his instigation, elected Prince Ferdinand
of Saxe-Coburg and Gotlra to be prince of
Bulgaria, and Stambulofi‘ became his
chief adviser. In this post, with the title
of minister, he was virtually dictator.
Frequent attempts were made to over-
throw him and incidentally the govern-
ment, but were in each instance discovered
and the leaders severely dealt with. So
many of the conspirators were put to death
that the press of Europe denounced Stam-
buloff as a judicial murderer. His power
did not grow less, however. He gained
the sympathy of the triple alliance, and
with the protection of England and Aus-
tria succeeded in raising a national Bul-
garian loan.
He increased the displeasure of Russia
by his constant opposition to her Bulga-
rian policy and incurred the anger of Tur-
key by coining money in Prince Ferdi-
nand’s name. He also arranged the mar-
riage of Prince Ferdinand with the Prin-
cess Marie-Louise of éarma, which took
place in spite of Russia’s Opposition in
April. 1893.
Why Stambulofl Resigned.
On May 29, 1894, Stambulofi and his
colleagues resigned, though to all appear-
ances they had everything thin." own way.
Ferdinand, however, felt that so ...ng as
Stambuloif was in power Russia would
not recognize a king of Bulgaria.
Notwithstanding the fact that Stambu-
1011‘ was publicly thanked by the prince
for his services, the tide of popular feeling
had turned against him. His supporters
were badly beaten at the next election, .
and soon afterward he was summoned to
explain abusive language which he was
accused of using toward the prince. He
refused to answer and was compelled to
give 85,000 francs bail.
Last January a parliamentary commis-
sion was appointed to investigate the acts
of his last cabinet. His power was all
gone, and his enemies, who had left the
country, returned to join the attack upon
him.
He had lately been virtually a prisoner
in Sofia, not being allowed to leave the
city, although he has insisted that his
health required a change of air and scene.
