4 petition to Governor Pennoyer is
being circulated in this city and yicin-

embezzling county school superinten-
dent be pardoned tits a queer fact
that the very men who probably
criticized the outrageous wholesale
pardoning Of criminals from the pen
ltentiary, do not hesitate to sign a
petition asking that the practice be
continued. A good many Of them
say shat murderers and much worse
criminals than Russell have already
been pardoned, and the pardoning

The mu"h talked Of question Of
bonding the city to purchase the elec-

to rather an abrupt finish last Satur-
day by Mr.. Rawlings informing the

proposition to sell, and that the plant
was now not for sale to the city at any
price, that he had sold ene-half inter

electrician Of Albany, and that they
would hereafter run it. This was

TOLD OUT OF COURT.
Entertaining Anecdotes About Bench and

Bar.
The following story is told of limo
thy Coffin, who was for a long time
Judge of the New Bedford district:
When very young man he was re-
tanned in case of sufficient Importance
to bring out almost every resident OF
the town; SO that the little New Bed
ford courthouse was packed when court
was opened that morning. Coffin had
been secured as counsel by the defend
ant Although it was his first attempt
in open court he had made little or no
preparation, thinking that he could get
through somehow or other when the
time came. Thus, when the counsel
for the defendant came into court that
morning he was greatly surprised and
no less agitated to see the big crowd
and realize the wide public interest In
the trial at hand He said that he had
looked upon the case too lightly. The
prosecution was strong. and he had
made not even slight preparation
To lose the case meant the loss OF
a hoped-for reputation Could he af-
ford to commit this blunder by dis
playing his ignorance of the case9 How
could he get out of it? These
were a few of the questions that are
known to have flashed through the
young lawyers head, for afterward
he himself told of the awful perplexity
of the hour Being q shrewd inventor,
he devised plan. as soon as the court
had been called to order and the crier
had said his little say, he arose and
asked for postponement of the trial,
on the ground that he had just received
a telegram announcing the sudden and
fatal illness of his mother, who resided
at Nantucket
Scarcely had the words of this ap-
peal proceeded from the lips of young
Coffin, when an elderly woman quietly
arose in the balcony of the courtroom
and gave utterance to these words:
Timothy. Timothy, how many times
have chastised thee for lying?"
Timothy recognized the sound of
that voice too we'll 1t was that of his
mother. This being Timothy's first
public case, the old lady had secretly
come up to New Bedford to see how
we'll her son would do. Her presence
was, of course, totally unknown to
him. The further developments need
not be recorded here. Suffice it to say
that Timothy Coffin in after years
made sure that his excuses would not
be thrown back at him by any member
of his own family-Boston Herald
