PRICE ONE GENT
GOVERNORS OFFICIAL DAY.
REFUSES TO PARDON DR..
WORTHINGTON.
Many Prominent Persons Appear
In Behalf of The Prisoner,
But To No Avail.

In spite of the many persons appear
ing in behalf of DIR. George q. Worth
ington, Governor Warfield this morn
ing refused to grant his application
for pardon from the penitentiary. The
hearing, which was conducted in the
Governor large office. consumed con-
siderable time and many statements
were made by the various persons
present.
The crime for which DIR. Worthing-
ton was convicted was that of man
slaughter, it being alleged that by
criminal malpractice he caused the
death of Amelia Miller. Less than
four years ago he was convicted of the
crime and sentenced TO serve ten years
in the penitentiary. The application
asking for his pardon stated that his
health was poor and that there was
every reason to believe he would not
survive the ten years of confinement,
The application was signed by con.
siderable number of we'll known per-
sons and practically all of the senator
ial representation. Elk Senator John
q. Rodgers appeared in behalf of the
prisoner aud made n strong appeal 60
the Governor for clemenoy. Other
persons stated that any restrictions
could be embodied in the pardon III it
were granted and that DIR. Worthington
would never attempt to practice in
the state.
The number of protests against the
granting of the pardon were over
whelming in their nature. Practically
all of the best physicians of Baltimore
and the surrounding counties protest
ed against the pardon being granted
Although the jury which had convict
ed DIR. Worthington was in favor of
the pardon the Judge who heard the
case did not acquiesce. A touching
plea, as opposed to the pardon, was
made by the gray haired mother OF
the murdered girl. She was very dig
nified and temperate in her language
and stated that she would be best
pleased were the sentence of the court
allowed to stand. In refusing to grant
the pardon, the Governor said:
II have considered carefully the ap-
plication of DIR. Worthington for par
don and have weighed calmly the rea-
SONS advanced by those advocating
Executive clemency in his case, to-
gether with the appeals of his devoted
wife and kinspeople. Whilst l sym
pathize deeply with them, and es-
pecially with his aged mother, yet my
Judgment dictates that this is not q
case for Executive clemency. The
protests against the pardon Indicate
unerringly that public sentiment is
against the pardon Of the prisoner
The opinion seems to be universal that
the punishment of the prisoner is not
commensurate with the grave crime
committed by him and that he should
pay the full penalty Of the sentence
and serve out his term to the end. In
these views | concur. and shall decline
to extend Executive clemency"

DEATH OF A DREDGER.
Dropped Dead While At Work On
Bugeye In The Bay.

Sudden death overlook Walter Da-
vorski, Polish oyster dredger, at an
early hour this morning. When the
fact that bugeye had put into An
napolis with dead body aboard be-
came known there was considerable
talk of foul play, but it was found
death was due to natural causes.
Davorski was employed on a large
bugeYe owned by Captain Tyler and
hailing from upper Fairmount. A
crew of eight is carried and while the
boat was in the bay this morning a
few miles off Annapolis all were en-
gagged in work. Shortly after | O'Clock

was working When his companions
reached him it was found that he was
dead
The boat was put into Annapolis

was notified. He held an inquest and
decided that the mans death was due
TO apoplexy. He notified the captain
of the boat to secure the necessary
burial permit from the county COM

MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE
VERDICT IN THE CASE OF
JULIUS COOPER.
The Accused Receives The De-
ciSion of The Jury Very
Calmly.

Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree was the verdict in the case of
Julius Cooper, charged with the kill
ing of George Harris. The jury which
sat in the trial apparently had but
little doubt of the negro's guilt and
lost no time in returning verdict of
guilty. All of the evidence in the case
was in less than five hours and four
hours later Cooper heard the fatal
words pronounced.
All of the evidence against him was
of a most convincing nature, and all
of the witnesses told straightforward
stories which could NOT be changed by
the closest cross examination. Ii was
seen early in the trial that unless
something of a most startling nature
was produced that Cooper would be
found guilty of first degree murder.
He was the only witness examined on
the part of the defense and his testi-
mony was of the weakest kind 1t
was an attempt to show that the
shooting was done in self defense, but
what it was that rendered the shoot
ing necessary was not shown. The
charge to the jury was short aud no
great amount of oratory was expended
on either side so we'll had the exami-
nation of witnesses been conducted.
The jury was locked in the jury
room shortly before 8. 30 o'clock and
shortly after O'Clock was again back
in the court room. Cooper had not
been taken to the Jail, as an early
verdict was anticipated by both sides.
When the jury filed into the court
room he made no show of interest and
did not appear affected when the YER
dict was delivered. Immediately the
verdict was delivered Judge Magruder
for the defense asked leave to file a
motion for a new trial. This was
granted and It was stated that the mo-
tion would be made this morning.
Cooper was then removed TO the coun-
ty Jail, surrounded by a number of
deputy sheriffs. The streets were black
with large number of colored persons
who had been hanging about the Court
House all day.
Cooper had no statement to make
with reference 70 the decision against
him, but appeared hopeful that a new
trial would be granted him. He was
placed in a remote portion of the Jail
and is closely guarded.
