STONED BY REDS In the meantime his first wife had died and he remarried. Sensing the advent of the Red upheaval in 1917, he sent her and his daughter to Sweden before its outbreak. He, himself, was mind. She had overcome both problems. For two years, while ln prison, she had been selling handworked handkerchiefs and such things to visitors and thus had saved enough lot a better grade of coffin.

The time neared. February 21 had been set for the day of the execution. Invitations had been sent out. These invitations, except for a heavy black border, resembled Invitations with which one might announce a wedding. Among those invited were six women, the first time any women had ever been asked to witness an execution ln Arizona.

What these women witnessed will probably live with them in their dreams until they die.

a letter signed Jack came to the doomed woman from Agua Prleta, Sonora, just across the international boundary line from Douglas, Ariz. The letter read: Dear Friend: Sorry you hare had such a bad break and have decided to come out and explain how I had to hit old man Mathis. "He was coming at me with a knife and would have killed me if I had not struck him. You ought to have killed him because he was trying to run off without paying for what you had done for him, just because he was stuck on that woman in Tucson and wanted to bring her out to take your place. But you had nothing to do with it you just run away with me.

Brought back to Arizona by Sheriff Tim McDonald, she was convicted and sentenced to a term ln the state prison at Florence. There she became very popular.

She had served 11 months when. In December. 1927. a new charge was lodged against her. It.

was a matter of the merest chance. A camper had stopped lor the night near the old deserted Mathis ranch house and in driving a tent stake had discovered a shallow grave containing a skeleton. This skeleton was partly identified as that of the 64-year-old re-cuse. Death had been caused by a blow from, a club on the head. Eva Dugan was returned to Tucson and tried in the Pima County courthouse for murder.

She was defended by Stanley Samuelson and Otto Myrland, Tucson attorneys. Mrs. Dugan had a persuasive personality. so persuasive that, from all accounts, no one who became acquainted with her could believe that she killed Mathis. Among those who seemed to believe in her very strongly were her attorneys.

The states case was that Mrs. Dugan had planned to kill Mathis, had buried his body on the ranch and then left Tucson ln her victims car. Evidence was submitted that she had been ordered away from the ranch and told to stay away. State witnesses also testified that the man had been struck on the head, presumably with his own ear trumpet. Mrs.

Dugan admitted that Mathis had been killed and that she had known it. but that he had been slain In a row by Jack, who was still missing. But had she not driven off with Jack In the car? Yes. but Jack had threatened to kill her If she breathed a word of what had happened and so she had been compelled to go along with him and keep her mouth shut, mrc penniless.

Gov. Phillips reiterated that his hands were tied. When reporters came to her for a last statement she said: Shoot your questions, boys, there isnt much time left.

She kissed the two guards who had conducted her to the death house, saying: I love every one connected with the prison.

She bade goodbye to him and his assistant, Charles Manier. Then she walked with a Ann tread up the 13 steps to the upper platform of the galllows, a guard on each side. A matron stood near the trap where the noose hung, along with the executioner who was to throw the lever.

The witnesses were below. They could not see her. They would not see her again until the trap was sprung. The black hood was placed pver her head and the rope around her neck. Her body was erect It was as though she were in a hairdresser's shop being prepared for a haircut and wave.

Mrs. Dugan apparently didnt know what it meant to be afraid. The trap was sprung at 5:11. The woman, weighing 160 pounds, dropped some six feet. These two circumstances, along with, possl-an error In the adjustment of the hangmans knot, caused her body from the neck down to be torn away from the head, which still hung in the noose.

Four of the six women witnesses fainted. Among her effects were found some verses. One poem read: Bring me joy, bring me sorrow.

Love, the new prison doctor only recently installed, refused to express any opinion ln the case. This effort also failed. She was declared sane. With hope practically gone, the campaign to save the woman continued unabated. It would be criminal for the state of Arizona to hang Eva Dugan, stated the Right Rev.

Daniel J. Gercke, bishop of Tucson, and one of the most popular citizens of the state. As I understand the case now. there is a reasonable doubt in my mind that the condemned woman had anything to do with this slaying. As I understood the case yesterday, I was convinced that the sentence was a Just one and was approving the apparent lack of sentimentalism displayed by the Jury and the pardon board in reaching their decisions.

But then I was laboring under the belief that the youth who had been referred to as Jack ln the case was merely a myth, a figment of the defendant's imagination. However, today (February 16) It has come to my knowledge that such a person as this Jack did exist. Moreover, It appears that he was actually at the Mathis ranch with Mrs. Dugan and Mathis at the time of the crime. Further, it is admitted that he left Tucson with Mrs.

Dugan in the car belonging to Mathis and that he drove the car the woman was convicted of stealing, Mrs. Dugan being unable to drive an auto. There apparently were no established witnesses to the crime, or at least none was produced by either the state or the defense. So far as I can see there has been none to gainsay the womani etory St. Patricks Day Dance American and Irish dancing will be featured at a St.
