AFTER MANY YEARS.

1 Frank u. Morsman Pardoned After Serv
ing Eleven Years for Manslaughter.
Frank E. Morsman has recently beer
granted a conditional pardon from thu
state prison by Gov. Grout, after having
served over II years for the killing o.
Charles H. Hinckley at West Salisbury
on the night of Tuesday, Aug. 81
1856. The two men had been employed
at the same place and there had been baC
blood between them. On the night oi
the affray they returned together from
the cheese factory, where they had beer
with the evenings milk, and got into d
dispute and then quarrel over putting
up the horses. Finally they came +,
blows. Hinekley threw Morsman down
and was choking him, when Morsman in
some way got knife out of his pocket
and stabbed Hinckley five times, one OF
the wounds resulting in the latter's death
on the following Friday.
Morsman was not arrested until the
second day after the tragedy, just as he
was going onto the fair ground in Mid
dlebury to attend the county fair. His
trial occurred at the June term of the
Addison county court in 1887 and result
ed in verdict of manslaughter and a
sentence of Is years. G. NJ. Wilds of
Middlebury was states attorney at the
time and prosecuted, while the prisoner
was ably defended by Judge Slade of
Middlebury and E. r. Hard of Burling-
ton. The responde mt pleaded self-desense,
claiming that Hinckley was the agrees
or and would have killed Morsman if the
latter had not secured the upper hand of
him 1t was shown that Hinckley was
on top of Morsman when neighboring
people gathered around and pulled him
Oft. The stab wounds had then been in
flicted. M0rsman and his friends made
out so strong a case of self defense that
the trial resulted in the mldest verdict
except acquittal that could have been
rendered under the law. The affair ere
ated good deal of a sensation in Addi-
son county at the time.
Mr.. Morsman is Gl years of age and a
veteran of the war. Soon after his in
generation in the state prison he was
granted pension, which has since been
accumulating. He has been heartily
greeted since his return by many former
friends and intends to buy home and
settle down for life in Middlebury or
West Salisbury. He arrived in Middle
bury just II years to a day from the day
of his arrest

Helen Gould Still at Work.

1t was very unusual act for the COM
mon council of New York to pass a reso-
luton thanking Helen Gould for her
devotion to the soldiers. 1t was without
precedent-such an honor was never be.
lore conferred upon woman, but it was
well deserved. Without disparaging the
work of Clara Barton, Mrs. Lesser, Mrs.
WalwOrth, Mrs. Mott and the hundreds
of other noble women who have shown
their patriotism and charity in con-
splcuous manner, no individual has done
so much effective work for the comfort
of the well and the relief of the sick as
Miss Gould. Ever since the war began
she has been engaged night and day and
has had the advantage of remarkable
business ability as we'll as an unlimited
fortune-two very important qualifica-
tions which other equally Jealous women
have not possessed. Miss Gould has
been sustaining two hospitals at her own
expense for several weeks and is now
sending sick soldiers to Woody Crest"
her beautiful summer home upon the
Hudson. She sends them in carriages to
the Hudson River station in New York
where they are furnished railway tickets
and are met at Tarrytown by DR.. Rich
ard b. Coutant. who puts them into
carryalls and takes them TO the mansion,
which is delightfully."- located in the CEN
ter of large park. There they are
cared for in luxury which none of them
has ever enjoyed before and which few
have ever imagined. For several years
Miss Gould has maintained country
homes for sick children she has picked
out of the New York hospitals and these
also, now that the summer is over, will
be utilized for soldiers. Chicago Record
