The youth chafes under the strict surveil-

beneath the weight of his fathers name,

him are thrown OF the track by La Cam

beautifully mOuTded, and the masquerade
in the gardens of SchOnbrunn forms de-

Sensational Developments In Arson Trial
The trial OF Cbas. w. Hewitt on a
charge of procuring the burning of a
store building and the contents of the
same, owned by himself, has been in
process in the circuit court at Hillsdale
for the past 10 days and some sensa-
tional developments have resulted.
The property was located at Moscow,
Hillsdale county, where Hewitt was
engaged in the grocery business on a
small scale. The fire occurred on the
night of Jan. 20, 1900. 1t was sus-
pected at the time that ii was of in
cendiary origin and Hewitt himself
made show of soliciting the aid of
the authorities in hunting down the
firebugs and bringing them TO justice.
Matters ran along until last Septem-
Der, when two citizens of Lenawee
county, who live just over the county
line, began TO leak badly, to their own
and Hewitt's discontinue. These two
men are Henry and VIII Marvin, father
and son. The Marvins were soon ar
rested and the younger man confessed
to burning the building, but charged
Hewitt with hiring him to do it. He
said his father was with him, and be-
fore he applied the match they looted
the store, taking wagon load of stuff
home with them.

Marsh.s Pardon Held Valid.

The supreme court has, in unani-
nous opinion written by Justice Moore,
dismissed the appeal in the case of Ar
thur +. Marsh, thus holding the par
don granted him by Gov. Pingree valid.
The opinion says that the important
question in the case is whether there
has been a conviction of the respond
ent within the meaning of the consti-
tuition, so that executive clemency may
be invoked, the prosecution having
urged that before the governor can ex-
ercise the pardoning power there must
be a sentence of the court as well as
conviction. 1t is the opinion of the
court that Gen. Marsh was convicted
when he asked for clemency, therefore
the pardon is valid and the accused
must pay the sum stipulated by the
governor when he granted the pardon.
