PARDoNED AYrER NEARLY TWENTY.
NINE YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT.

Something has just happened in
Maine that recalls several well known
poems and romances, and with them a
story in real life which transpired gen.
GRAFTON ago. Governor Perbam, by and
with the advice Of his executive coun-
Gil, has pardoned . man named
Thorn, who has been an inmate of
the State prison at Ttomaston for
twenty-nine years. Tho wardens of
the prison have repeatedly pleaded
for Thorn to Governor Perham and
his predecessors. They represented
that the mans behavior was most ex-
emplary; that the circumstances un-
der which he committed the crime for
which he was condemned were excep.
tional and trying, aud that he had
given long and sincere evidence of re-
pentance. Only, however, after an
imprisonment exceeding by fiye years
his whole previous life, have his pris.
on doors been flung open and has
Thorn walked forth free man.
Thirty years ago Thomas Thorn
was q jovial young sailor. Roaming
about the coasts of Maine, he fell
desperately in love with young girl
named Lois Alexander. This was at a
village called Harpswell, and here the
two became betrolhed. Thomas and
Lois agreed that he should make one
long voyage, and on his return that
they should marry. He sailed, aud
time rolled on until the period fixed
for his return was long past. The
girl was either persuaded or other
wise beguiled; At any rate when
Thorn came back-which he did a
year later, he fonnd his afiianced the
wife OF an elderly well-to-do man
named Wilson. BY one of those IA
talities which so often occur in this
life, Thorn became q resident under
Wilson's roof. A close intimacy
sprang up once more between LoIs
aud Thomas, and report said that it
was criminal. On the morning of
Sunday, February s, 1843, Wilson
was found dead in his bed. His skull
was broken, and investigation showed
that the deed had been committed
with pair of tongs. Attendant cir
cumstanccs connected Thorn with the
murder, and pointed TO Lois Wilson
as accessory. Both were tried and he
was found guilty, aud she acquitted.
Honorable William p. Fessenden and
Francis O. j. Smith being assigned
by the government for the defence,
made hard fight to save Thorn, but
in vain, and the end we have recorded.
He was first condemned to death, but
the punishment was commuted to inn
prisonment for lite, aud now, At the
age OF titty.four years, he has received
pardon.
When first put in Jail, Thorn could
neither read nor write, and he is now
said TO be tolerably well educated
man. Some OF his letters to the gov
ernor reciting his early career, the Bit
ter provocation he had received, and
praying to be released, are said to be
well written. To pass generation
in confinement, TO be thus immured
during those years commonly rcck-
oned the best Of a mans life, is GER
tainly terrible punishment, and un,
der the circumstances few will say
that Thorn's case was not fitting one
