Myers. Her motive was that she
might be free to marry '""Frank Hott-
man. Hottman hold the husband
while the faithless wife cut nine great
gashes in his throat, face and chest
with his own razor.
The Supreme Court in passing .upon
the <ase pronouced It the most atro-
cious murder ever committed within
the state.
Frank Hottman was sentenced to
to "be hanged1 the same day as Mrs.
Mfers, June 29. The governor's re-
spite to him also, and If neither a re-
spite nor a commutation is granted
Sept. 3 the guilty wife and her para*
•tnour will both be ha'nged on the same
day and hour.
Lawyers Aloe Fight.
A. strange thing about the case of
this murderess is that no one except
her lawyers is seeking to save h'r life.
Heretofore* when a ifcurderess was to
be hanged In this state, there were al-
ways some people to circulate petl1-
Hons and to beseech the governor for
a commutation.
"Nobody cares Yty me. I a in an un-
pitled, forgotten outcast," * is what
Mrs. Myers says of herself.
She is'only 20 years#old. a frail little
woman of 90 pounds' weight, rather
good looking, and until recently al-
ways smiling. Since her conviction
she has lived in a cell especially pre-
pared for her upofi the second floor
of the Jail In Liberty, Clay'County.
She killed her husband in Kansas City
but she took a change of venue to
Clay County and was convicted there.
If she is hanged it will be from a
gallows to be erected in the very cell
In which she lives. A man murderer
was hanged in that samG cell a few
years ago. But that does not trouble*
Mrs. Myers. She says she doesn't
lleve in ghosts.
Usually when a man Is to be hang-
ed It is the woman who protest
10 sena
flowers to the condemned man. It Is
\he women who go in crowds to see
him. and It is women who circulate
petitions for a commutation of the
death snetence.
But In this case of this wotnan w ho
murdered her husbuiyl. it is women
w .o most blterly condemn* her. If the
women of this community had their
■way she would be hanged to a cer-
tainty.
"f*or weeks and months in my cell
here I did not here the sound of a
woman's voice," said Mrs. Myers re-
cently to your correspondent. "I am
desertca^ by own sex. That Is what
makes it harder fof me to bear. No
one comes to see me; no one sends m«
flowers; no one writes to me. I guess
they all think I'm. qullty."
Mrs. My« rs his sent out from her
cell an appeal to the woman of the
state to intercede with the governor
for her. But if any considerable
number of the woman of the state
have done unything for her it is not
know rt here.
Men May Save Her.
Recently a newspaper of thin city
sent reporters to interview the lead-
ers of every woman's ciuib within the
city, and each ont said.
"She ought to be hanged, and we
will do nothing to save her."
A majority of the mesi think, how-
ever that a woman* ought not to bit
hanged in this stite, and probably
there may be a movement started to
save her from death ut>on the scaffold.
The murder of Clarence Myers was
the most ^ruel deed ever iWne in this
city. He was u pressman—an in-
dustrious. <Jenn-lived yot^ng man, 1141 d
he Idolized his wife. They lived In a
cozy c.tyat;, and seemed to be happy.
One morning In May, two years ago,
the neighbors were aroused at day-
light by a woman's Vream. They went
out and saw Mrs. Myers lying in tho
doorway of hsr cottage home. Her
head and shoulders were upon the
porch outside the Joor. She wore h t
nightgown and waa barefooted.
"Clarence in in there: negro burg-
lars kUled him," she told the first
woman who went to iher side.
(The food? Of tbe nnMibrcd n:;.«

of the parlor, propped up against tin

sides these gashes In the face ana

Mrs. Myers told that a little after
midnight she was awakened by a
noise and saw two negro* standing at
the foot of Ihe bed. One of them,
she said, caught her husband by the
feet and dragged him out over the
footboard. The other, she said,
