employed as servant In his family, found
his check book lying around, thought 1t
would be an easy way to get little money

She made no attempt to initiate his sigma
ture, did not know enough, in fact, and
payment wns promptly refused. She was
fair, delicate, blue.eyed and golden-hRir.
ed girl, utterly inexperienced and nstur-
ally bright and very shy and retiring. Her

secure her pardon. The Judge who con-
demned, the jury who tried, the attorney
who prosecuted her and Numerous out
Giders signed the petition bscanss her fats
excited general sympathy. The papers
were forwarded to Gov. Ross three weeks
ago. but no action has been taken.
Yesterday the penitentisry contractor
called for the prisoners here and left with
them for the penitentiafy. Among them

In this condition she was driven through

Despite the girls solitary lapse from strict

kind Of work, running elevators, ulept not
only in the same room, but iu the same
bed and disappeared from their usual

also denied that the companion Of Tascott,
on the night Of the murder, had bean ar

supper with me and slept In my house
that night. After supper he won't out for
a few hours, but returned home snd was
in bed before half past IL. There ara a

General Sheridan-"Yes, Ihave noticed
1t, but have never looked upon those
newspaper articles as anything more than
the usual shooting around in the woods
which has once or twice before in presi-
dental years brought my name up in that
connection"
ASent-"But General, the talk Is more
serious this time and there appears to be
something like concerted movement to
bring about your nomination"
General Sheridan" Well, know moth.

what I have read in the papers, except
that now and then some friend has twitted
me about becoming q candidate. But II
the matter Is really now discussed serious

should be informed that they are wasting
their breath. l have never had the Pes
