he had suffered for years from heart disease,
and died finally from angina pectoris. Mr..

Judge Redfeld. As regards Mr.. Hapgood's
last point, we think the people Of the state
will be ready to trust TO Gov. Farnham's un-
derstanding of the force or meaning of any
remark or promise made TO Mr.. Hapgood in
this connection. Moreover, since that time
the governor has taken tho opinion Of Judge
Redfed on the question Of a reprieve, and
the reprieve has been refused because the sem
tenoe was legal and Carr has had full Justice
done him. Mr. Hapgood's letter does credit
to bis humanity, but with those who know
his eccentricities and generally extreme aud
impracticable ideas, it will have no weight as
affecting their opinion of the justice Of Carr's
sentence. The letter is, in fact, a character
istic contribution TO the ELUSIVE and weakly
sentimental literature which we have como to
expect in connection with the execution Of
extreme sentence upon every criminal, what
ever his rank A level-headed member Of the
legislature from this county writes:
81 heard good deal about Cars case at
Montpelier L saw Carr sentenced. He SEEM
ed not TO be affected in the least. He is evil
IDENTIFY man devoid of all the finer feelings
He is probably unlearned in book matters, as
| Hapgood says; but the murder which he COM
shrewdly carried out as any which has been
committed in our state for years. l am not
friendly to capital punishment, but l believe
Carr to be n much filter candidate than Ma
goon, Tatro or Hayden"
The legislative committee gave Cars case
careful attention, found that he had mental
and moral sense enough to describe how lie
committed the crime and to attempt to palli-
ate his guilt and their report, which was ad-
verse to interference with the sentence of the
court, was accepted by the Legislature.
P. S.-Gov. Farnham has replied to Mr.
Hapgood, saying that Carr had n fair trial,
and that the legality of his sentence has been
affirmed by tho justices of the supreme court.
The governor says that he only expressed to
Mr.. Hapgood view in regard to Oarr's pos
sible reprieye, which was subject to change.
