Thomaston, Me, Nov. 22.-For the
first time in % years Ephraim w.
Clark, alias William Smith, who was
sentenced to prison for life for the
murder of First Mate Patterson on the
schooner Jefferson Borden on the high
seas, Oct. 4, 1875, stepped forth from
the State prison, at $40 A. M. Satur-
day, free man, having been pardoned
by President Roosevelt.
Notice of the Communication of Clarks
sentence to so years was received by
telegraph, Nov 10, but the prisoner
could not be released until the formal
pardon papers arrived. These docu-
ments came to the hands of Warden
Hillman Smith on the first mail, Sat
urday.
After a day or two at Rockland, his
birthplace, Clark will pass Thanks
giving day with friends at Union. The
first of the following week he will go
to Boston to visit a sister.
Although Clark had been confined
behind the white walls for over quar-
ter of century, he gave no outward
appearance of real gladness of his COM
ing liberty until Saturday, when he
entered the guardroom at $40 with
quick step. He was dressed in a good
suit of gray mixed goods, wore a black
soft hat, black neckte, white shirt and
new shoes. and appeared neat in every
way. Il
I've got no time to lose" said Clark.

u While speaking he was adjusting his
dress, which seemed to be snug fitting.
He looked up and said jokingly:

intuition. 1t seems very comical to be
logged out in these clothes after being
in stripes so long
Looking up at the clock, he said:
1T is just a quarter to nine. 1 will
take note of that
He was called into the room of the
deputy warden, where he signed re-
ceipts for his discharge and received
the usual IS given departing prisoner
for transportation. He was then ac-
companied to the warden's office, where
he received the pardon papers, signed
by the President, this being the first
signature of President Roosevelt COM
ing to this prison. When handing over
the papers, Deputy Wyman said:
CLARK, here pare your papers. You
can read them at your leisure
Il won't read Them" replied the free
man.
Clark seated himself near the prison
entrance, and waited for the electric
car 60 appear to take him to Rockland.
With sign of relief he said, in slow
voice:
Everything comes to him who
waits
Chaplain Plummer then drew near,
and, clasping hands firmly with Clark,
said with fervor and emphasis:
THE Lord bless you. Be good
Il will try to- replied Clark, mean
ingly. None of us are perfect"
He then shook hands with the
warden, deputy warden and other Off
GERS. who all wished him well. Clark
ran to catch his car and started for
Rockland, this being the first time he
ever rode on an electric car. He has seen
them from the prison windows, how
ever. He sat composedly. but one
could see the great joy beaming from
his countenance.

Clark's own story of the mutiny and
the circumstances leading up to it. was
told. Condensed somewhat. it follows:
You must understand by the way of
preface" said Clark, that the Jeffef-
son Borden was hoodoo ship. Before
embarked on the voyage from New
Orleans there had been trouble on
board on a trip from New YORK. ana
Capt. Patterson was held in the sum OF
$llO0 by the United States authorizes
for brutality to his crew. our embark
alton from New Orleans was fraught
with trouble in which Capt. Patterson
abused Miller. and ended in a controv-
ersv with the tugboat's crew, in which
he cursed the United States authorities
roundly.
After we were in the gulf stream we
encountered rough weather. ana the
heavily laden vessel shipped quantl-
ties of salt water Everything on deck
was torn asunder, and the salt water,
mingling with the casks Of fresh water
ruined our drinking supply. The vessel
strained and began to leak.
The captain accused us OF consplr-
acy to sink the ship. I've pald Sooo LOT
shipping you sailors and now I'm gong
to take it out of your hides ne salo.
1T must also be explained that we
went to sea ,short-handed. having only

have been six. The crew in consequence
was kept constantly employed. Tor the

Raw John p. Peters. pastor OF ST.

referred at the Sunday services TO the
los. the church had sustained through
the embezzlement of Henry Townsend

md killed himself seven weeks ago..
Mr.. Edison was not referred to by
name. but his defalcation was touched
upon in a review by the pastor OF the
church's affairs for the past ten years.
He said:
AFTER a careful examination OF the
church books It has been found that the
ioas amounts to $4,000. OF this, $4,000
mas been saved through the honorable
,c, Of the defaulter's widow. who has

found that coffee nauseated me so I
