list of applications for pardons. which
have been filed with it, then 1t will be
a revelation of industry which may
lead to a suspicion of hasty consldera-
ton The list of applications for par
don does not embrace a full list OF
the prisoners in Saltwater, but it does
include a number of them, and many
of them applications which have lit
tie in the public feeling to commend
them. There were forty-twO applica-
tons, but Bob Miller's has been with
drawn, his term being nearly finished.
One of the most audacious of the
applications is that of the negro, Ter
~ who was sentenced from Hennepin
county for burglary in 1895, and who
promised to wreak dire vengeance on
all concerned in his trial and prose-
cution whenever he should be released.

Of James r. Harris, also wants to be
released. Meiggs, the bank robber;
Richard Kennedy, who shot young
Hoy in Minneapolis several years ago.
and Rose, whose case was mentioned
yesterday, are others who seek liberty.

Sition in the Northern Pacific offices,
had been very liberal in his expendi-
lures, was widely known, and had
made himself a good fellow generally.
The skillful manner in which he had
conducted his forgeries also excited a
good deal of comment He was gen.
orally voted one of the brightest and
shrewdest men of his class who ever
came to the city. 1t was brought out
at the trial that he had been in trouble
before at his old home in Kentucky
but little was made Of it, because the
case was not as serious as this one
Snapp was married at the time of his
