Jurymen Who Convicted the American
Banker Refuse to Sign Petition for
Pardon.
PARIS, June 1.-The question whether
Mr.. Edward Parker Deacon will be par
doned is still a subject of interest, popu-
lar discussion and much diversity OF
opinion, the influences which were
exerted against Mr.. Deacon before and
during his trial being adverse to his re.
lease. The Gaulois declares that one
of the jurymen in the Deacon trial
brought his colleagues to join him in a
petition to President Garnot to pardon
Mr.. Deacon, but the majority of the
jury declined to take part in any such
movement, asserting that Mr.. Deacon
deserved to endure the full penalty to
which he had been sentenced.
According to dispatch from Nice
health. Many of the people, and es
pecially the foreign visitors, would like
to make lion of Mr.. Deacon, if per
mitted by the rules of the prison, but
while Mr. Deacon is treated with every
consideration which the rules permit,
they are not relaxed in his behalf and
his friends are forced to content them.
selves with the privileges granted to the
friends of other prisoners in the same
position. Mr.. Deacon has heard in
directly, it is said, from his wife and
children since his imprisonment, and it
is reported that Mrs. Deacon would not
be averse to a reconciliation upon her
husbands release. This, Mr. Deacon's
friends say, is impossible.

condemning the February convention
and indorsing the administration of
Grover Cleveland. When the latter's

was converted into veritable pande-

enthusiasm when the declaration of al
