MRS. CODY GOES FREE.
Judge Gregory Exercises Judicial Glenn
ency IN Aned BIackmailer,s Case.


Albany, March 10.-Judge Gregory
announced at o'clock this afternoon
that he had decided to suspend sentence
in the case of Margaret e. Cody, who
was found guilty of blackmailing the
Gould heirs by the jury here yesterday.
In announcing his decision the Judge
said:
Mrs Cody, the evidence has convince
ed me that you are guilty beyond ques-
ton, yet I feel that in view of the jurys 3
unanimous recommendation to mercy
and the popular sentiment which favors
it, am justified in following their sug-
gestion and suspending sentence in your
case. You are free to go on your own
erecognizance,
1t Is understood that the jurys rec
ommendation was on account of the
prisoners age, and for no other reason.
Miss Helen Gould has made no effort
to influence the courts decision.
Mrs. Cody was asked if she had any
thing to say, and she replied, II am in
nocent, sir" She left at 10 O'Clock to-
night for Denver, where her daughter
lives. The latter forwarded the money
for her transportation.

Short One.

The board Of education held a regu-
lar meeting last night. The session
began at S:45 and adjourned at $3.50. A
communication was received from the

creditors of Hogan might have on the
school building. Although the building
was completed nearly two years ago.
the claims have not all been liquidated.

ray Of New York. The members pres
ent last night were Messrs. Whitney,

Henry l.. Goodwin f'nken Ill.

Hartford, March 10.-Henry L. Good
win Of East Hartford, the veteran agi-
tator of the affairs of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad, and
one of the most familiar figures at the
capitol, created something of a sensa-
tion in the senate chamber this morn
ing. He was bustling about the cham
ber lobbying" on the so-called double
taxation" bill, when he suddenly fell to
the floor in faint. He was picked I'M
and taken into an ante-room, where
Senator Doctor Holmes attended him.
The latter pronounced it case of ver-
tigo. Mr. Goodwin recovered in a few
moments and was then removed to his
home.

"POOR LITTLE JOEv
Kipling In nformed OF the Death of His
Favorite Child.

New York, March 10-Mr. Kipling is
still improving, said Mr.. Doubleday
tonight. Mr.. Kipling had taken some
sweetbreads for supper and had been
able to eat more solid food than at any
time since he became i'll.
Unable to keep Mr.. Kipling in ignor-
ance of his favorite Josephine's death,
the news was broken to him tonight by
DIR. Dunham. The blow was a heavy
one, but the father bore up bravely.
"How long was she ill?' he asked.
He was then told as much as the at
tendants thought wise. Tears stood in
the poets eyes and he murmured half
to himself, half aloud:
Poor little joe" 1t was thus he all
ways called the little one.
The doctors believed it was best to
break the news, as the worry and the
distrust he seemed to have in all the
replies given to his queries about the
little one would have probabl been
more harmful than to let him have
the truth.

putting shoulders together and plan

chants have been the very sinews OF
our communities. 1 do not forget the
farmers and professional men, the men
who support our churches, the men who

successes which have marked the career
Of the business men Of the country are
indeed matters Of which to be proud.
We are swinging back to the methods of
our fathers and there is not so much
talk about men of genius as there is OF
men of brains, who are willing to begin
at the bottom of the ladder and climb
up to those successes and prizes which
are to be attained. These things are
making men for use who are able to
stand in any capacity and do the work
required of the men of the times. There

There is no genius like hard work. The

The mention of Congressman Sperry's
name was the signal for an enthusiastic
outburst of applause. His speech was
in the main devoted to the New Haven
harbor question and what can be accom-
plished with the recent appropriation Of
congress. The harbor will be SO changed
and bettered that there will be abun-
dant opportunity for the taking up and
distributing of the goods that come in
from the different parts of the state and
the country. This will be of the great
est benefit to the merchants. Because
of the greater traffic the poor man will
have more money and that is bound to
be of benefit to the merchant He con-
cluded by referring to the part that
Connecticut men, though few in num-
ber, took in the recent war.
Mayor Farnsworth, the next speaker,
said that he was not deserving Of hav-
