OF Nelson Swartz. who was convicted with
Samuel L. Wayman, two yenrs ago. in Living
ston county. OF the murder OF Emory Thayer
at Avon in 1885. entirely exculrates Wayman
from any completely in the crime.
While the two men were confined In the Liv-
ingston county Jail in 1890 for series Of
burglaries. Wayman. in conversation with
Sheriff Hampton. saiu something about the
Thayer murder which aroused suspicion that
he might have been connected with the affair.
Swartz was also charged with knowledge OF
tho crime. and both men were indicted.
At the trial Swaitz testified that he
was a witness OF the murder and
that Wayman was the murderer. Upon this
evidence Wayman was convicted OF murder in
the fret degree ami was sentenced to be
hanged. Swartz was allowed to plead guilty
to manslaughter In the first degree and was
sentenced to State prison for eighteen years
and six months. Before the time set for tho
execution OF Wnyman Gov. Hill committed tho
sentence to life Imprisonment.
Doth men were received at tho prison In this

BLAINE AND THE pREsrDENCE

WASHINGTON. April ia devoted friend OF
Mr.. Blaine's told reporter to-day that 1t was
absolutely certain that Mr.. Blaine would ac-
cept the nomination for the Presidency IL 1t
should he offered to him by the Convention.
He said he had talked long and earnestly
with Mr.. Blaine. and that he could say posi-
lively that he would not decline the nomina-
ton II offered to him. though he did not desire
II and would not seek 1t. The new impetus
that Is being given to Blaine talk Ia matter
OF great interest to politicians Of both parties.
There is probably no one who doubts that Mr..
Blaine is sincere In his desire to avoid the re-
sponsibility and annoyance that would como
upon him as tho candidate OF his party. but
there is very large element In the party who
cannot reconcile themselves to the thought OF
his retirement from public life without having
had tho highest honor there is in politics.
There are many others who feel Tint the sue
cess OF the party may be dependent upon his
acceptance OF the nomination. that he could
surely be elected. and that possibly no ono
else could. These men simply will not give
up tho idea Of Mr. Blaines nomination.
