 The efforts to secure the pardon of Ex-Cashier Hicks have been much dis cussed during the past few days, and of- tener than not the expressed feeling is sympathetic with the move. It is notice. able that those who lost by the banks failure are by no means the most vindictive in expression against Mir. Fl. Many of these, in fact, are very kindly in expres- sion.

His case is now under ad Fiaement by Attorney General Garland, and said to be backed up by the solid con- gressional delegation of Connecticut, also by influential men in various parts of the state.
