GONE TO PRISON.
Mrs. Coolidge, of the Coolidge VI ellen
Conspiracy, to Serve u Term Behind the
Bars-Nhat She Told a Herald Re
porter.

In the superior court today, Mrs Coolidge
was called to receive her sentence for her
share in the Coolidge Mellen conspiracy
she was charged with conspiracy with A. l..
MeIlen of Baltimore to obtain the death OF
Mellen's daughter-in law. Mrs. Coolidge,
it will be remembered, recently pleaded
guilty and today, after a brief plea for le-
niency from her attorney, Judge Blodgett
sentenced the dstendapt to three years in the
prison for women at SherbOurne.
Prior to her removal from the court house
Mrs. Coolidge talked at some length with a
Herald reporter. She declared that if pos
slble 10 prevent it she would never be taken
to prison alive, but if her attempts at self de-
structlon were frustrated when she got out OF
prison she would 60 to the bad as quickly as
possible She had been made a tool BY
everybody and was given to understand that
If she pleaded guilty she would be allowed tC
go on her own recognizance till Melen wa.
captured and then be used as a government
witness. She never intended to harm young
Mrs. Mellen and her only object was to fool
MIR. Melien into thinking that she meant tr
put her out of the way and to get possession
of the money he promised her for so doing.
Mrs. Coolidge stated that she had understood
that her own husband had been importuninp
the authorities to give her a long sentence.
claiming that she intended to poison him.
She then asserted that her husband knew OF
all her correspondence with Melien and
thoroughly understood what it referred to.
Mellen had a mortgage of $1,000 on their fur
nlture and her husband told her that he did
not care what she did 40 long as the mort
gage was raised. The reason that she re-
qHested that her husband should not be no.
u1ed on the night of her arrest was bccaus se
be had Mellen's letters ard kilograms in the
house at the time and she was afraid he
would deliver them I'D to the authori-
ties. When he called upon her later at the
police headquarters she whispered to him not
TO give them up under any consideration aad
he replied that he would not provided she
said nothing to the police about his knowl-
edg 10 the matter. She promised and until
within short time had insisted that he knew
nothing of the affair. She charged her hus-
band with attempting to obtain these 1ocu-
ments from her counsel in order TO strengthen
the case against her aud claimed shameful
treatment at his hands in connection with the
case. She stated that the story of Mellen
beng now in Mexico was false, that he had
never been outside of Baltimore.
The authorities laugh at the idea of Cool
idge having had any knowledge of the crime
1t was intended to commit. They say that
for four months the searching investigation
failed to show that he knew what was going
on. They claim that 1t is . great injustice
for Mrs. Coolidge to make such statementa.

CANADIAN FISHERIES.
ThesLaws Which Capt. Scott Proposes
TO Enforce.

HAIIFAx, n. S April ).
Capt. Scott of the steamer Landsdowu ne
commenced, MONDAY, to select sailing cruis-
ers for the protection of the fisheries. It
now appears that there is no law to author
ize the prevention OF United States vessels
entering Csnadisn ports and shipping all the
men thev require as they may come in on
some pretext such as want of water or re-
pairs to a torn msinssil and nobody has the
power to say wh hat men they shall sail away
with Capt. Scott asserts that no schooners
have been prevented from shipping men at
Nova Scotia ports. The prohibition against
getting bait is one of the principal things that
will work against the Americans and none of
their fishing vessels can do trading. This,
it is said, will prevent considerable SNUG
Cling along the coast. There is nothing,
however. TO prevent regular trading vessels
from buving bait in Canadian ports aud re-
failing it outside the limits. Capt. Scott has
authorized the publication of the following
The pubic seem to be unaware that Ameri-
can fishermen who visit our ports are nc.
liable to seizure. 1t is only those who come
in for other objects than obtaining wood,
water. shelter or repairs. By Act SO of
George III, they are liable to fine if they
do not depart from our harbors when desired
to do so by one in authority. No fisherman
can trade, and if found within three miles of
the coast or buying bait, which is preparing
to fish, he renders himself liable to seizure at
once. The Canadian officials, while putting
the treaty in force are enjoined to treat all
strangess with civility, but trespassers must
not expect much leniency when they are set
ting our laws at defiance.
