same time claiming that she was Mrs Do

the articles referred to on his account
She was furnished with what she asked
for and left the building. Nothing further
was thought Of the matter until yesterday,
when Mr.. Richards casually called Mr.. Do

latter promptly disavowed all knowledge of
the AFFAIR and said the signature was a

he determined to probe the matter to its
foundation. and with the assistance of De-
tectives Miller and Peck succeeded in find

All Of the conspicuous shares In the mar

1umor had it that the Morgan-Hill interests
were free sellers. This selling had some
effect on prices, and discouraged traders
from new ventures. The result was prob
ably the only object in view Several stocks
nave reached prices which seriously ham

interests have simply been creating a more
favorable working basis
ST. Paui sold down rather abruptly during
the opening hour, and the Erie issues had
little support during that period. Northern
Pacific yielded to moderate selling, and all
the lines connected with the pending deals
shaded on under mixed selling and an al
sence of support. The coal stocks yielded
IN the same fashion and brought in no sDe-
cial demand except at the low prices

shares and the !ndustrials were the feat

MUM NOT SURPRISED
EXPECTED FAVORABLE ACTION ON
PETITION FOR CLEMENCY,

Il expected it, was the remark of Nc
Yin, when informed by a Star reporter
that the President had acted favorably on
his petition to save him from the gallows.
Il really never have expected 1 would die
on the gallows." he said. When 1 was
first convicted and sentenced I felt bad
but the case has not bothered me much
lately
In conversation with the reporter the
man who came so near paying the death
penalty for his crime said he was thankful
to his friends for what they had done for
him. and he hopes some day he will succeed
in getting full pardon.
He blames all his trouble on a woman
whose name did not appear in connection
with the case.
"She pitched me to the gallows," he re-
marked, land the President caught me-"
He is how interested in the manner in
which the Moundsville prison, his future
home, is conducted, and he is anxious to
get there as soon as possible so that there
Will be an end to his suspense. except con-
corning future actions in reference to a
pardon.
McUin spoke of the time when he was in
prison in Tennessee for causing the death
of man. Then he served thirteen months
and seven days and was pardoned. If the
Moundsville penitentiary is as good as the
one In Tennessee, he says. he will have no
reason to complain. for the officials in the
nc nths of the time he served he did not
have to work.
He does not mind manual labor, how
ever, but says he would enjoy freedom out
side the prison walls once more While he
has never felt that he would have to pay
the extreme penalty, he said he received
information last night which caused him
to believe more fully that the President
would act favorably on his petition. That
he was even convicted of the crime charged
against Elm, he says, was the fault of his
going to pieces on the witness stand.
His Mistake on Witness Stand.
Il testified on the stand that 1 was en-
gagged to be married to the young lady"
he said 1--WE were not engaged" he add
ed, but that's the way it went"
During all the months of his confinement
McUin says he has been concerned about
how he got into the trouble and not how
he was going to get out of it. He was
satisfied about the ending, but he regrets
very much the taking of Turner's life That
the President should have acted favorably
on his petition, he said, gratified him be-
cause of the good news that his father
four brothers and three sisters will get this
evening at their home in Tennessee
The Rev. Father Mcguire has been visit
ing McUin regularly for some time and
while he had been the source of much con-
ISOLATION to the prisoner, the latter had not
been baptized. McUin was alone in his
cell when visited by the reporter. He was
waiting for the priest to call, and he felt
satisfied that the clergyman would have
good news for him. It is likely that McUin
will be sent to Moundsville with the next
batch Of prisoners to go from the District
Jail.
