FAREWELL FOREVER. Murderer Lambert's Last Meeting With His Mother. Theodore Lambert, who is to be hanged to-morrow in Camden for the murder of Baker William G. Kairer, had a farewell visit from his mother yesterday. She spent the day with him until about 7 o'clock last evening. They both shed tears copiously as they parted forever. Lambert's spiritual adviser, Rev. J. H. Scott, and several evangelists prayed and sang with the doomed man last evening. Lambert was depressed in spirits after parting with his mother and did not enter into the religious services with his usual earnestness. His appetite also deserted him and he refused to eat anything yesterday. Lawyer John L. Semple will present argument to-day before Justice Green, of the United States Circuit Court, in Trenton, on an application for a writ of habeas corpus with a stay of execution. If he is unsuccessful, Lambert will surely be hanged to-morrow.
