Case at Boston.

Manly Act of Judge In a Distressing
Case at Boston.
Boston, Dec. 22.-The most remarka-
BILE criminal case tried in Massachusetts,
superior court in many years and which
aroused intense interest in the fashion
able Back Bay district, was ended Thurs
day, when Judge Bond probationed Ma
rion Rogan, who had blinded for life
DR.. Frank L. Taylor, a dentist, by
throwing vitriol in his face out of re-
venge for betrayal.
A young girl had earlier appeared be-
fore the judge and told her pitiable story
and showed the whitehaired justice her
little babe, of which she ella lined Taylor
was the father. She said Taylor after
he had wrecked her life, told her he was
irresistible among women by reason Of
his good looks.
In announcing his decision Judge
Bond said that from the evidence it ap-
peared DR.. Taylor had sought out Miss
Rogan, knowing she was a virtuous
woman. who had in no way wronged
him. from the sole purpose of causing
her ruin, and after he had accomplished
it by fraud and deception and made use
Of Intoxicating liquors, if not by drugs,
he unfeelingly cast her off without as
sistance and advised her to resort to the
life of prostitution and even boosted of
his disgraceful conduct with this young
woman and with others whom he had
ruined. Such man is 50 vile that 1
have no sympathy or pity for him in
his unfortunate condition"
Judge Bond said he regretted Miss
Rogan did not leave the p unishment of
her betrayer higher power than her.
self. As to the possibility of similar
acts Of personal vengeance would follow
probationing of this prisoner, Judge
Bond said such cases were so rare-none
other having come before him in the 40
years of his service on the bench-that
he would take the risk and order the re-
lease of the prisoner IN probation.

Synopsis of Platform Adopted by Re-
pubIicans of Ohio.

Columbus, o., April 2J.-The delegates
to the Republican state convention met
for business after the committee on reso-
lutions had completed its draft of the
platform, which was adopted by the con-
vention.
The platform reaffrms the declarations
of the st. Louis PLATFORM of 1896, de-
clares Republican administration has re-
stored prosperity to the country and that
the United States is outstripping all the
nations of the world in foreign trade.
The resolutions indorse the wise and
patriotic administration of President Nc
Kinley, whose signal achievements in
war and peace, in craftsmanship and di-
plomacy, mark an epoch in the history of
the nation, and whose brilliant success
justifies the demand in the highest inter
ests of the country, for the uninterrupted
continuance through another term of his
great but uncompctcd work"
The platform praises the adoption of
the gold standard, and, regarding insuar
affairs, says:
I'VE sustain the president and congress
in exercising their power with due regard
for the safety and welfare Of the Union
and with the most rust. generous. hut
name and fIaternnl consideration for
those over whom the authority of the ma
ton is extended. We advocate for them
free schools, full security Of life, liberty
and prosperity. the most liberal measures
and the development Of their agricultural
industry and the largest degree of local
self rule for which they are fitted. We
have faith in American patriotism, char
acter and capacity, and we know that
American government will extend the in
estimable blessings of freedom, law and
civilization to the peoples who are brought
under our protection"
Thanks and appreciation are rendered
to the Ohio delegation in congress, and
legislation is favored looking to promo
ton of the United States merchant ma.
rine. The platform concludes with de
mand for strong and wholesome regula
| tion of trusts and of all forms of indus
trial combination which tend to fettei
competition and restrain trade.
The following nominations were made
by acclamation: Secretary Of state, L. G
Laylin, and supreme judge, John A

tons and permanent organization were

by the engagement of $250,000 of the
yellow metal for export to Europe, but
this was the only engagement and was
followed by declarations from nearly all
