HOPE FOR NICHOLAS.
NEW Evidence APPEARS IN FAVOR
or THE CONDEMNED MAN
His Spirits Have Revived and He Says
lie Feels Confident of a New Trial Now
That Phillips Has Turned Up.

In view Of the fact that there has been
some new evidence discovered In the
Nicholas case during the past week. that
throws a more favorable light around
the prisoner. the sentiment Of the public
seems to have turned. and several per-
sons whom / interviewed yesterday were
Of the opinion that the condemned man
should be granted a new trial by Judge
Wexford.
In review Of the evidence as given
that the prisoner always told the same
tale. and as far as can be learned his
statements were true.
Now. the fact that he bought some
poison from the drugstore Of Mr.. Lewis
was pointed to and emphasized by the
Commonwealth as a damaging piece OF
evidence, and IT had great weight with
the jury in convicting Nicholas. The
prisoner stated that he bought the poison
for Moses Green's dogs. At the time his
statement was not believed. In yester-
days Times letter from the clerk who
sold Nicholas the poison was published,
I'm which he said that the prisoner made
the same remark TO him when he bought
the poison-namely, that he wanted it for
Moses Green's dogs" He further stated
that Nicholas returned the poison. saying
Moses Green had promised 20 keep his
dogs up" and that he refunded Nicholas
the money. Ali this happened three
months before the murder, so the theory
that the prisoner intended TO get rid Of
his alleged victims by poison Is OF little
weight as evidence.
Now comes the strongest part OF the new
evidence. Mr.. w. r. Phillips wants TO
know why he was not summoned as "A
witness for the accused.
1 interviewed MIR. ID. c. Richardson,
counsel for the prisoner. and he told me
that he and Mr.. Smith, the other counsel
for the accused had made every effort to
find out the whereabouts Of Phillips, but
had been unable. He furthed stated that
when they questioned Mr.. Lewis. the
druggist, as TO where Mr. Phillips had
gone. he replied: II don't know; you
can't find out. so you needn't try"
1 also interviewed Nicholas. He is stu
hopeful. I showed him the letter from
Mr.. Phillips. He grasped my hand, while
his eyes filled with tears, and he said:
Thank you; the people VIII know the
truth now"
"All / want" he continued, lis for the
people TO know the truth, and nothing
but the truth and II they condemn me
then ! am willing to take their condemna-
ton"
Nicholas has been very anxious to find
Phillips all along Nicholas smallest
statements have been corroborated by the
evidence in tho case, and his counsel told
me that he would defy the Common
wealth TO pick a flaw in the statements
as made by the prisoner.
1t is thought that Judge Wexford will
give his closest attention 10 this new evil
dence, and it may be Of material weight
in securing a new trial for the prisoner.

SENATOR STANFORD.

In the death OF Senator Leland
Stanford of California, which oc-
CURED last week at his home in Palo
Alto, at state loses one who was
always devotedly interested in its
political, business and educational
prosperity and gave with unstinted
liberality of his great wealth to
make successful many worthy enter
prises which without his aid would
have proved failures, Born in New
York state in 1924 Senator Stan
ford went to California in 1852,
and at once became prominent in
that states affairs. His first APP
pearance politically was as a dele
gate to the convention which nom
mated Lincoln in 1860, he was the
first republican governor of Cali
fornia; was actively identified with
the organization of the Central
Pacific railroad, and it was to his
firm conviction of its feasibility and
his indomitable energy in pushing
the work that its ultimate success
was largely due. He was elected
United States senator in 1867. In
1884 Senator Stanford's only son
died in Florence, Italy, and soon
after that he founded, at Palo Alto,
the Leland Stanford, Jr., Univer.
sity in memory OF the deceased SON
The University is an immense educa.
tional undertaking, so heavily en-.
dowed as to ensure the successful
carrying out of the founders plans
Senator Stanford's wealth is esti
mated at $35,000,0OO.
