FOR A PARDON.
Pardon Committee Listens to Argu-
ments for Hathaway's Release. :.
He Is the Fall River Broker Who Forged
Bill Of Lading and Was COnvicte d.

Boston, May 6.-Lieutenant Governor
Crane and the pardon committee of the
executive council gave hearing on the
petition for pardon forW. H. Hathaway.
the Fall River cotton broker who was
sentenced In 1893 TO state prison for seven
years for cheating and making false re-
turns. tx Representative Slade con-
Quoted the case for the petitioners, saying
that the latter based their claim on the
ground that the sentence was excessive,
That IL was surprise, both TO the district
attorney ana To all concerned at the time,
that they do not claim that Mr. Hatha-
way should not have been punished, but
that he has been punished sufficiently.
DIR. George ;. Eddy, the brokers' physi-
clan stated that on account OF IA chronic
physical disaffection Mr.. Hathaway had
been taking opium, so that his mind was
affected by the drug. This showed in
untruthfulness and "A noticeable deterior
alton in moral fibre so that at the time of
the forgeries he was really not responsible
for his acts.
Mrs. Hathaway said that she had no
doubt in her own,lnind that her husband
would not have committed the offenses If
he had been In his usual and natural tate
OF mind. Ex-City Marshal Hilliaru said
he had known Mr.. Hathaway for Is years
and had never known anything against
him until this case for which he was
sentenced.
The petition for the pardon bore tho
names of Fall River business men, Mr..
Hilliard said the signers had "a sincere In
terest in the case. Attorney General
knowlton who was district attorney at
Fall River mt the time of the forgeries said
that the sentence was generally regarded
as heavy, considering the crime, and
related the circumstances Of the sentence
saying that the judge had made the SEN
tence extremely heavy on account Of the
prisoners standing in the community.
The amount Of MIR Hathaway's forgeries
was about sl3.0 on four bills of lading
which were duplicated on cotton shipped
from the south and stored in Fall River
warehouses.

session of the Barnes murder trial was of
peculiar interest from the fact that DIR.
Bonner, an expert on nervous diseases,
who testified Yesterday afternoon, was
recalled ms the first witness and was
vigorously cross-examined by the govern.
ment He gave it as his opinion that from
tho mental condition and nervous temper
ament of Barnes he was not morally re-
sponsible; nc was not "a man who would
premeditate and deliberately carry out a
plan OF murder and after having witnessed
u murder and been placed under obliga-
tion not TO inform upon those who com
mtted the crime hc did not have the un-
derstanding or judgement owing To his
nervous weakness, TO make the crime
public and claim protection from the law.
Reuben Reed testified that on the after
noon of the murder Barnes was at his
house i'm search of work. George Worcester
of South Acton testified to having passed

recessions
Wheat opened rather fat, with small trade,
but the tendency seemed TO be toward some

were higher. Berlin had good rally; Lon
don cargoes were firm and higher; the Eng
lish country markets were dull and Liverpool
WAS steady and higher.
Corn was slightly easierlunder the favorable
weather for spring work. There was only
moderate selling.
Provisions opened quiet. The trade was

that as the market does not act well, IL Is be.

McWilliamS-Lind Case to Be Taken
to Appellate Court.
The Plaintiff Sues to Recover $500 for
Services as Appraiser.

The troubles between Peter 5. Lind and
his brother, Thomas w. Lind, manufac-
turing jewellers, which were considerably
discussed couple of years ago and which
the Appellate Court was called to pass
upon were reviewed in the civil division
Of the district court this morning
Former collector OF the port John
McWilliams, brought suit To recover 500
from Thomas w. Lind for services as
appraiser while the latter was under
guardianship. There were two charges in
the account on which Mr.. McWilliams
sued. One was for services in making an
appraisal i'm December, 1895. This
amounted To $40 and as the account Of
this appraisal was made TO the Municipal
Court of this city, there was not so serious
a dispute as 10 it as there was To the
second charge for sl25. The last services
charged for were rendered just n Peter ,.
Lind was terminating his career as
guardian of the estate of Thomas and
IL Is claimed the latter requested Mr..
McWilliams To finish the inventory he had
begun.
General Wilson who represented Thomas
claimed that the suit could not be main
tained as Peter had carried on business
FOR mis- ward which ne had no right to
do, as the law expressly forbade "a guardian
doing any trading in behalf of his ward.
IL. i. AnBell, VINO was attorney 1of MT.
McWilliams claimed that the statutes of
this state gave guardian "A right to set
tlo and compromise all claims against his
ward and that the Municipal Court had
decided that Thomas Lind needed a
guardian and the appraising of his estate
was To the ward advantage.
motion for noa-suit was made by
General Wilson but withdrawn when
Judge Sweetland intimated that he
thought the action could be maintained,
in order that the case might go to the
Appellate Court on an agreed statement
fOf acts.
In the year 1893 Thomas w. Lind was
adjudged to be in such condition that he
could not manage his affairs, so his
brother, Peter >. Lind, was appointed
guardian Of his person and estate. On
jan >, 1891, l.. l.. Angel, III Z. Curtis
and John McWilliams reported that the
estate of Thomas was valued at $40, i30. II.
No allowance for appraisers fees was
ever made by theMunicipalCourt May II,
1898 guardianship over the person of
Thomas wns dispensed with and the
following December the Municipal Court
released his estate from guardianship.
Peter took an appeal from this latter
decision but on Jan. 81, formal record of
the discontinuance of the appeal was
made in the Municipal Court

.THE WOOL TRADE.


The American Wool and Cotton Reporter
says Of the wool trade:
The wool market has ruled quiet during the
past week. There has been very little domes-
tic wool selling, and new transactions in for
eign woods have been comparativly light. In
some cases large sales of foreign wool contin-
ue To be reported, but considerable portion
Of such ales made up of contracts con-
summatcd some time ago, and not given out
until the actual arrival of the woods. Another
period of activity is looked for If the mills
continue running full as at present. Seven
or eight of the largest worsted mills in New
England might be mentioned n now running
full, which consume about 100000 pounds of
wool per week. The requirements OF these
worsted mills and of the large woolen mills,
TO say nothing of the Sreat number of smaller
mills in various localities which consume all
old, a considerable amount of wool, are quite
likely, i'm the opinion of the trade, 10 be the
source of considerable strength to the market.
Domestic woods of all classes have been
slow. New business in Australian has been
comparatively moderate, but considerable
amount Of such wool, contracted for some
time ago, and just delivered, helped to swell
the totals. Considerable interest has been
shown in South American crossbreds. Sales
in Boston for the week aggregate ), ,l61, 900
rounds, l.2l2,0O0 being domestic and 1856. 00O
foreign. Sales IN Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia aggregate s,c25 200 pounds, 2,2s0 900

since January l. 1857, ls9 266, 050, comparing

angry with his attorney, and taking the
execution delivered it Yesterday to Deputy
