ESCAPES THE ROPE.
Board of Pardons Recommends That
Jas. B. Geutry's Sentence Be Com.
muted to Life Imprisonment.

Harrisburg, April 20.-The board of
pardcns has recommended that the
sentence of James b. Gentry be conf
muted to life Imprisonment. The de-
cison was made public tonight by the
board along with the reasons for its
action. 1t was officially announced
that the recommendation will be ap-
proved by Governor Hastings. Gentry
was to have been hanged at Philadel-
phia Thursday for the murder of his
sweetheart, Margaret Drysdale alias
Madge YorlIe, an actress, two years
ago, in . Philadelphia hotel.
The reasons assigned by Gentry's 8
counsel for the granting of a commu-
tation follow:
Because the verdict was against the
law; because the verdict was against
the evidence: because the verdict was
against the law and the evidence; be-
cause of the inability of the defendant
to prOcur witnesses from foreign jur-
isdiction whose testimony would have
reduce the grade of the offense to that
of murder in the second degree; be-
cause Of after discovered testimony
relative to the condition of the de-
tendant's mind at the time of the COM
mission Of the offense.

For the restoration OF an appetite which

offer testimony to this particular property of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills is George Marshall,
Jr., who lives at No. 10 Norwich Street,

Southern Railroad, and his territory extends
from Cleveland to Toledo. Like thousands

Last spring was taken sick with innam-
matory rheumatism, and my entire system

my convalescence was extremely slow, and
my parents feared that l was going to suffer

plucky young man serious injury might
have resulted to some of the little ones.

court Judge Brubaker created con-

Saturday morning to discover these
places and report them, and in default
he threatened to have the constables
themselves indicted.

Phoenixville, April 20.-Some days
ago John Kassell, a native of Austria,
came to Phoenixville and called on a
fellow countryman residing in Pud-
dlers' Row, a row of houses occupied
by foreign employees of the Phoenix
Iron works. Kassell is said to have
had quite a sum of money with him.
Not securing work here he left for
Philadelphia in quest of employment.
That is the last seen of the man alive.
A day or two ago Coroner Ashbridge,
of Philadelphia, informed Chief of Po-
lice Carter that the body of John Kas-
sell had been found floating in the
Schuyllill river near Strawberry Man
sion, and that the address of his Phoe-
niXVille friend was found in his vest
pocket His watch was on his person,
but only a small sum of money. 1t is
