increased during all the last two months.
At the same time in these two months
the price of the stock has declined. The

BRAN ASSERTS INNOCENCE.
The Herbert Fuller Murderer Sentenced
to Life Imprisonment.

Boston, July 12-Thomas NJ. Bran,
without capital punishment. Of Captain
Charles I. Nash of the barkentine Herbert
Fuller, wss brought in the United States
Circuit thiss s.afrernoon, to receive his
sentence of life Imprisonment with hard
labor. 1t had been announced that there
would be hearing on the exceptions
taken at the last trial, but it was early
made known that the5 exceptions would
be waived, and the prolonged legal fight
abandoned.
Bran was brought into court just be-
fore II o'clock, but after long wait, it
was announced that further proceedings
would be postponed until after noon.
At Z. 80 the prisoner was again brought
into court. Judges Colt and Webb, who
presided at the trial, were on the bench.
Bran was accompanied by his counsel,
Messrs. Cotter and French, and appeared
prepared for the ordeal. The usual for.
malities were quickly accomplished.
Counsel for the prisoners waived the ap-
peal then sentence was pronounced. 1t
was that the prisoner should serve life
term in the state prison at Charlestown.
Bran gave no evidence of emotion upon
hearing the decision of the court. He ap-
peared calm and when given opportunity
to do so, in clear distinct words asserted
his innocence. He said:
II can only refresh your memory with
that never-dying fact that / am innocent
Of the crime for which 1 have been con-
victed. Nothing can be added only that
l repeat that l have been victim of
circumstances. I have nothing to lay at
my lawyers feet but my thanks for the
manner in which they have truthfuIly
them and all those that have injured
me-
All the witnesses which had been held
by the United States were in conrt.
At the adjournment of court Bran was
taken to Charlestown and delivered to
the custody of Warden Bridges.

THE STAMP AND THE EXPRESS
COMPANIES.
10 the Editor Of the Press!

To the Editor Of the Press:
some how we have a notion that you
know everything; that all puzzles are as
transparent to you as plate glass. which
belief induces us to ask your opinion on %
matter that is being made somewhat OBJ
scure, matter upon which interested
parties-one on each side of the barbed
wire fence of profit or loss-seem to
differ.
It's about paragraph in the new war
revenue law, paragraph s, in schdule A,
which says that all receipts given by the
express companies for packages to trans
port must have one cent stamp affixed.
Our question is Who shall pay for the
stamp, the express companies, or the
shipper? AS we read the law it seems
plain enough Ito us) that it was the
meaning and intent of the makers of the
law that the stamp was to be a tax upon
the express companies, one OF the
methods by which great corporations are
TO help pay the expenses Of the war
We think, and all persons with whom
we have talked on the matter, except
some express managers, think that the
committee which framed the law, and
congress which passed it, had no other
thought than this, that these commerce
carriers, doing large business with the
people, and protected by the government
IN ali par6s of the country, should bear
their part of the money burdens of the
war, all the more because their revenues
are not diminished, but increased by the
war.
Some of the express companies see it in
the same light, and cheerfully pay for the
stamp. But few of the larger express
companies insist that the shipper shall pay
for the stamp, and refuse to receive pack
ages unless the cent for the stamp is paid.
Will you, as disinterested party tell
us how it strikes you, and greatly oblige.
Yours truly,
j. r. LIBBY CO.
