REPRIETED 4 SECOND TIME
John +. PhRir's second Marrow Escapo from
the GaIIows-SIx Dave Grnce.

WINDSOR, Vt, April 3.-John p. Phair, who
was to have been hanged here tomorrow for
the murder OF Ann +. Frieze in Rutland, June
O. 1874 was to-day reprieved by the Governor
for six days. Once before on the 9th Of April.
1877. he was within an hour Of being hanged
but was repreved upon the receipt. by the
Governor. OF a telegram from a merchant in
Boston who thought he was able TO prove a clear
alibi for Phair on the day OF the murder. This
merchant Mr.. NJ. ID. Downing. happened to
read. at IL O'Clock on the day set for the hang
ing. an account Of the murder and the testi-
mony in Phairs behalf that he had left Rutland
several hours before the murder was COM
mitted. and reached Providence, r. l.. on the
day OF the murder. Mr.. Downing was con-
vinced from certain circumstances narrated
by Phair OF his visit to Providence that he met
the man there on the day mentioned by him.
There was great difficulty in reaching Gov.
Fairbanks by telegraph. acqualntng him with
Mr. Downing's story, and the Governors tele-
gram granting the rcprievo was received by the
Sheriff at the moment that he was starting with
Phair Tor the galloWs.
There were very strong points against Phair
who had been on terms OF criminal intimacy
with the murdered woman. and the Supreme
Court refused a rehearlng OF his case. Mean
while the Governor had extended the reprieve
until April I. 1879. and every preparation was
sd9 IST ng xea P6e in Ms Se SSRy
and positively identified him as the man that he
had met In Providence at "A time that II is
claimed would have made II impossible that he
had committed the murder. At $3.50 this even
ing the following telegram WAS received by
Sheriff Simpson:
surHERLANp FALLS April a-Phair is repreyed for
six days Written repreve 10 follow by first mail
REDuEln PRocroR, Governor
The Sheriff telegraphed back to the Governor
to secure n verihcation Of the first telegram.
and received the following reply from him:
Yes; all right Written reprieve Will probably reach
you att p tomorrow
1t is sad that the reprieve was granted to
allow counsel nm opportunity Of again arguing
his case before the Judges of the Supreme
Court. Sheriff Simpson and Superintendent
Rice informed Phair. who was engaged in writ
ing his last statement, of the repriove. He re-
ceived it smiling, and without apparent emo
tion.
