NORTHWEST news,
Fargo, N. D.-After two days work
State Attorney Voss of Mandan, and the
defendants attorneys in Fargo have
practically agreed on a bill of exceptions
in the Kent murder case, to be presented
before Judge Mcconnell tomorrow. After
his action the attorneys for the defense
will secure writ of error from Chief JUS
tice Wallin, and the Kent execution will
occur on October Is. In fact, the supreme
court cannot sit until 80 days after the
new codes are proclaimed. This will
probably occur December J.. Then it the
supreme court holds a special session to
consider the Kent case, and, granted that
they refuse new trial, the matter will
have to come before the lower court
again for resentence of the prisoner, and
80 days more secured, so that Kent
neck is very safe until February l 1T
least If all falls, clemency will be asked
and it is understood Gov. Allin will COM
mute the sentence to life imprisonment.
No preparations have been made for the
erection of the scaffold and morbid Curl
osity seekers will probably never gee My

and earth at the ropes end.
West Superior, Wis.-~-Another attempt
is being made to have President Grover
Cleveland extend a pardon to A. A. Cad
wallader, of this city, who is serving a
five years sentence in the house of cor
rection at Milwaukee. Cadwallader was
president of the Superior National Bank,
of this city. and pleaded guilty to wilful
misapplication OF funds of the institu-
ton. The petitions in his favor are be-
ing quite generally signed by leading
business men and members of the Doug
las County Bar Association. The career
of Cadwallader is quite sensational. be-
ginning with his debut in 1891 as presi-
dent of the bank, a financier from Phila-
delphia suddenly cast among men scram-
bling for wealth during the real estate
boom here, to his flight to Brazil, a fugi-
tive from justice who was willing to
leave his bondsnlen to settle with the
United States to secure freedom, his trial
in the United States court and his after
wards pleading guilty to one count in
the Indictment.
