things when he arrived in London. In
an interview he said: II shall go to
America again, for I'm quite in love

The country has a great future before it.

The following letter, presented to the
Van Buren, county board of supervisors
is self-explanatory:
LANSING, OcT 3, 1900.
To the Honorable, the Board of Super
visors of Van Buren County.
GENTLEMEN:
The state board of corrections and
charities would again call your attention
to the fact that the Jail of your county
has long outlived the purpose for which
it was erected, being neither secure
properly arranged, lighted or ventilated
IN fact is, and has been for years, an un-
fit place in which to confine human
being even be he guilty of the crime
charged, certainly such for the citizen
who under the law is presumed to be
innocent until he has been proven guilty;
a disgrace to people of intelligence in this
advanced age and to a county of the i'm
portance and wealth of Van Buren.
These may be strong words in which to
describe your county prison, but not
stronger, the state board is convinced,
than the honest conviction held by some
of you regarding your Jail. Permit then
the state board to most earnestly and
urgently suggest that your honorable
body no longer defer taking the neces-
sary steps toward the erection of county
prison which shall be more in keeping
with the standing of Van Buren, county
among her sister counties, and in accord
with the intelligence of the age in which
we live.
BY order of the board.
Yours respectfully,
l.. G. SToRRs, Sec.

county
The last hope of the prisoner and his
friends was snuffed out yesterday after
noon when the board of pardons an
nOunced IT'S refusal to interfere with
the course of Justice and commute the
sentence to Imprisonment for life
The friends of the prisoner did not
let the curtain fall without making a
grand rallv to save his life with the
board of pardons. The final effort in
cluded several affidaYits from Brigham
City, a pathetic appeal from the
stricken mother, another equally pa
thetic appeal from the lifelong friend
Of the mother. friend who came from
her far eastern home to help; il includ-
ed a strong plea from Thomas Fitch.
the attorney, and, strongest of ali, it
included an adrOit plea from the pris-
Orer himself.
The faces of Governor Wells, Judges
Bartch and Baskin and Attorney Cen
eral Bishop were a study as they lis
tened to these pleas, but they gave no
evidence of what the decision would be-
In the court room sat the poor mother,
broken in health and spirit. her little
boy Ralph, her friend, Miss Lulu John
son, and the two loyal women Of this
city who had espoused her cause.
The board convened at 10 o'clock and
at once took I'D the consideration of
the Majors case, and Clerk Stevens pro
ceeded TO read the papers submitted.
Aff1daVits Submitted.
There was an affidavit from B. H.
Jones TO the effect that he considered
the testimony that might have been
given by George @. Wells as to the
killing of Brown immaterial, and that
he was not put on the stand for that
reason; that Wells had made his state
ment at the cOrOner's inquest, and that
: it was considered that there was moth
ing in it.
There was an affidavit from William
Fosgren, denying that he had made the
statement attributed TO him by Philips,
Borden and others. Another cOmmuni-
cation from Henry A MelbOTn. assist
ant prosecuting attorney OF Oakland,
Cal, giving the bad record of Majors as
a burglar at that place, was read
There were numerous affidaVits in
favor of the prisoner from persons liV-
ing in Brigham City, all intending 10
show that Majors did not get a fair
trial. These affidaVits had been gath
/ cred by the two Christian Science
women who, as they aver, in the cause
Of humanity" have done all in their
power to save Majors. They made a
special trip to Brigham City to secure
the afidavits.
One of these was from James Borden,
