District Attorney Davis has finally made
he addressed a letter to Broker Chapmans s
attorney in Washington, Mr.. j. NJ Wilson,
asking that he bring his client to Wash
.nSton 10 enter upon the execution Of the
thirty days sentence of the court.
IN his letter to Judge Wilson Mr. Davis
admitted that technically he had the right
TO petition for rehearing of the case at
any time during the present term of court,
but seeing no ground upon which the Judge
could base hope that such petition should
be granted, and as the cOurthad announced
that il would meet but twice before all
jouruing for the term, and then only Tor
the purpose OF delivering opinions. he
deemed il 10 be his duty to make the re-
quest
Mi Chapman has stated several times
that he was willing to respond immedia tely
TO any summons from Washington. His
attorney, Mr.. Wilson, has also made the
statement to a Times reporter, on two
occasions, that Mr.. Chapman is ready to
come to the city at any time that his
presence was desired 1t is thought,
therefore, that the broker will probably
reach Washington today or tomorrow, al
though before Judge Wilson got his note
from District Attorney Davis, Mfr Chapman
made the statement in New York that
he Gid not expect to be obliged to come
to this CITY for some days
A reporter called at the residence of
MI Wilson last night, but was unable
to see him. Mr. Wilson sent a message
down from upstairs, Il cannot say any
thing ON the subject tonight"
AD application for the pardon of Chap
man is pending before the President, but
District Attorney Davis says that, not be-
ing officially advised of this, he is pro-
ceeding as if nothing of the kind were
contemplated. 1t is his duty plainly, he
says, to see that the law in enforced
as the pardon is not, at any rate, yet
granted.
It is not believed that President Nc
KInley will consider the application for
pardon favOrably. The case has been
decided against Mr.. Chapman in all the
counts and on every count, and, it is
said, there is no reason why Mr.. Mckinley
should exercise any sentimental oIemency
in the matter

to each OF the attorneys for the defense in
the well known sugar trust cases. stating
that the trials viii be called together On
