more than S24, 900, 900.

DEACONs LIFE IN PRISON.
Perfectly Comfortable, Except That He
Has to Stay Ind oOrs.

mas I'd stay AnuOOTs.
NICE, May 2l-Since the trial and SEN
tence of Deacon he has been confined in
prison, and none of his friends are per-
mitted to see him, with the exception
of a physician. The prisoner is in
comfortable room and kindly
treated by the officials. The prisoners
brother today conferred with a distin-
guished lawyer and others to take steps to
secure a mitigation of sentence. Deacon's
conviction is not in accordance with public
sentiment here. Austin Deacon found
the authorities willing to support an ap-
plication for mitigation Of the term of i'm
prisonment.
The project said the sentence under the
prison regulations would be reduced to
four and half months, and Deacon
would not be treated as an ordi-
nary prisoner. He would meet
with every consideration, be allowed
to wear his own clothing and to supply
his own meals. His friends would have
access to him three times a week,
and aside from being enter
tanned literally he would be a
state prisoner in name. Austin Deacon
said there was not the slightest probability
that his brother would resume marital re-
lations with his wife. To her recent solicit
tations that he take her back.
he replied that he would have
her arrested for adultery, which
would have involved her being locked I'D
with common women" 1t is not thought
she will now put in any defense to the
divorce suit. If she refuses to &C.
cept the French law, then Pc
tition will be filed in an
American court. Deacon's counsel
attributed the decision OF the jury to
Deacon's frank admission of how he him
self felt after the death Of Abeille Several
members OF the jury declare that they
gave the verdict under the impression that
it meant nominal imprisonment with fine.

Ericsson Submarine Gun a Success.

New YORK, May 21.-A second test of
the Ericsson improved submarine gun
made today at the navy yard is said
by Commander Converse to have been the
most successful submarine gun test ever
made in this or any other country. The
proJectile passed through first net nine
feet below the surface; through a second
net nine feet three inches below,
and through a third net 800 feet
from the muzzle of the gun, nine feet six
inches below the surface. The projectile
struck the end o. the dook with consider
able force, but did no material injury to
it. The speed of the projectile was $50 feet
tor the nrst second and it Travelled
800 feet IN two and one-fifth seconds. The
test will ultimately be made with forty
pound firing charge. which, it is calcu-
lated, will send the projectile 1000 feet.
With a twenty-fve-pound charge the pro-
iectile was carried about 700 feet.
