JUDGE WOODS HAS GRANTED A STAT. Sentence Is Suspended mtil Bat Is Made Cumulative, Which May Double the Length of Their Imprisonment. Lhicago.

TW a Fr.n-or.o rv wTua and his associates in the rlir.tm- 11 a -ue American liailway union will not spend phristraas in jail. The date for tne be'srmninir of the sentpnno imn.n- by Judge Woods for contempt of court was DOEiDoned Jinnd, Tl'l -1 o. tinen the senten Kom'n may mean a year instead of siv months for Debs and six instead of three months for the other labor men in the county jail. Sentences in the case of the United States and that of the Atchison. ToDeka railroad were separated and made cumulative instead of concurrent and appeals will be taken to the United States supreme court in hnth A writ of habeas corpus also will be applied for in the United States case as soon as the labor leaders are in jail, before which time a writ would not lie.

The Proceedings. When Judge Woods took his seat on the bench Monday morning Mr. ory. representing the defendants, ad- dressed the court for a few moments He said that his clients desired to test the constitutionality of the Sherman act; they knew that this could not be done so long as the sentence imposed in th Santa Fe case was concurrent with the sentence in the government case. He asked the court so modify the sentence that it be come cumulative, giving precedence tne government sentence, and to stay execution until the defendants could lake the issue before the supreme court.

The Government Agrees. The counsel for the government asked a few questions of the opposing counsel touching the issue and, after a brief consultation, Mr. Walker said that it was evidently the desire of the defendants to test an issue wjiich had never been passed upon by the su preme judiciary, and he and his asso ciates could not see any reason to ob ject to the granting of the reasonable request of the counsel of the defend ants. The defense was willing to take the chances of having the accused spend twice the original sentence in jail the sake of having both cases de cided by the court of last resort. On that point the court issued an order compliance with the request Why the Action Was Taken.

The order that the two sentences be made cumulative was asked in order that both eases might be tested before supreme court While the two weri? bound together and a con current sentence represented both was impossible, the- attor-. i i 1 neys said, lor tne reason iuai ii supreme court afnrmed tne de cision of the lower court in one case would not decide the other case at as there would be no change in the sentence even though the second should be affirmed. Therefore two separate punishments were desired. The imprisonment in the government case is to come first and at its expiration the Santa Fe sentence wUl begin once. Plans of the Defense-One of Mr.

Debs' attorneys said that January 8 the defense would either ask for a habeas corpus writ or allow the decree of sentence to be entered and appeal at once to the supreme court On the other hand he said the defense might take both of these steps the same time. The defense doesn't expect success in the habeas corpus plea, so the case will eventually come before the United States supreme court KILLED IN A MINE. Three Men Meet an Awlal Fate Near Gem, Idaho.

The cause of Strange Story of One of America's Richest Women. MRS. GREEN THIXKS SHE IS IN PERIL, She Declares Uer Father and A ant "Were the Victims of Conspirators Who Now Seek the Lives of Herself and Children. New York, Dec 25. One of the most remarkable cases ever brought into the American courts promises to be that of Mrs.

Hetty Green, one of the richest women in America, against the execu tors and trustees of her father's estate involving millions of dollars. According- to the story told 'by her lawyer, William Ii. Stay ton, Mrs. Green is in fear of her life. A belief, Brmly fixed, that a band of conspir ators took the life of her father, Ed svard II.

Robinson, and of her aunt, Sylvia J. Howland, of New Bedford. years ajro.and are now seeking her life and the life of her children continually haunts her. Glass, she declares, has placed in her food not six months age, blocks of wood and stones have been hurled at her from windows as she was passing on the sidewalks, and on numerous occasions her life has been threatened. Why She Is a Beclnse.

Whether or not Mrs. Green is the victim of a strange hallucination re mains yet to be learned, but that her fears have incited her to lead a life of a recluse there can be no doubt. Her story is a strange one, as she has told her lawyer. Her family were old New Bedford people. Hergrandfather was a trader and a whaler, and inherited a handsome fortune.

Her mother's sis ter, an unmarried woman, Svlvia Ann Howland; accumulated by her own speculations a fortune of over 000. With her Hetty Green lived. when a young girl. Hetty's father, Edward M. Robinson, had large business in terests in this city and lived here.

Her mother died when she was very young. Mrs. Green's lawyers say she tells the following story of the deaths of her father and her aunt: Death of Uer Father. She was called to New York on June 14, 1805. by an announcement of her father's sudden Illness.

She found him weak in mind and de clared that he was In the clutches of some conspiracy. He spoke to her only In broken sentences, but Impressed on her the truth of his belief that he was in the hands of con spirators. He warned her to beware for her own life, and pleaded with her to marry her present husband, Mr. Green, in whom he had perfect faith. About his will he expressed great concern and told -her that he wanted Henry Grinnell, of New Bedford, Mr.

Green and a member of the law firm of Lord, Day Lord as executors. He feared that all was not well with the document and sent for it, but before it reached him him he died. It was discovered when the will was read that instead of the three names appearing as executors whom he desired, the will named two of his clerks in this city and one in New Bed ford, to each of whom he left $100,000 for services. Instead of his daughter getting all, as she says he declared he wished, she received outnght and $3,000,000 in trust to go to her heirs at her death. 'She has often told me," said Mr.

Stayton, that if she could And who left her father's room before she reached it, when she found blood on him, she would know who was re sponsible for his death. Her Aunt's Death. Scarcely had her father teen buried when the young girl was called back to New Bedford. When she reached Miss Howland's bedside, the dying woman was too far gone to recognize her. Then, she says, another startling surprise came.

Her aunt in ter will, instead of leaving her all her estate of over $2,500,000, bequeathed half to the -city departments and several men whom she scarcely knew politicians of the place. The other half was left to her in trust. Corroborates Her Story. 'A Mrs. Price, a resident of New Bedford, now aged 80, has strengthened Mrs.

Green's belief that her aunt was murdered for her money by a story to the effect that when Miss Howland was taken ill she called on her. She was horrified to find the nurse giving the patient doses of sixty drops of laudanum. She remonstrated and the woman told her that such were her instructions, or that she was to hide the bottles and keep tun matter a secret. She showed her a pile of bottles in the chimney. Mrs.

Price informed her imily, and a doctor from Boston was sent to the sick woman's aid. The laudanum had been stopped, hut the woman was raving. He talked with Miss How-land's doctor and then told her that he woula have no more to do with the case. Soon after Miss Howland died. Thinks They Seek Her Life.

"Hetty Green believes that hcruont wasmur- dered by a powerful bani Mi conspirators, who were raec of political ii.tl in New lied-foi-d. She believes that the men are pursuing her to-day and are nursuintr her chil dren. Her fears hiive uee increased by the fact that her sou injured his cap through the medium of a strange man who. when he was down town one day. threw him over an iron fence on an iron crating.

When the hid could walk he was in the street one dty and a man jumped on him and dirslocated the knee so that amputation had to follow." round olass In Her Food. "Mrs. Green," said JIv. Stayton, solemnly believes this story. Of its truth I know nothing.

She is a clearheaded woman and not a person to be easily led into wild hallucinations. She does not implicate her executors, but thinks the people are others more powerful She has suspicions, but of whom I do not know. She solemnly declares that three months ago. she found glass in her food. On several occasions, while walking alone down town streets at night, missiles have been hurled at her out of buildings.

When at Hempstead, L. last summer a man broke into the house where she was staying. An alarm scared him away. She believes he had intent on her life." Says Its Kidlculoos. Mr.

Barling, the sole living executor, declared the story of the aunt's death ridiculous. "When she died, he said, "she left Mrs. Green a life ie-half of the estate and the Wf-tr. the town. But I shall not talk on this story of heis.
