OLD CASE DECIDED.
Judge JOnes Gives Opinion in Walker
 Versus United States.

Judge Jones Gives Opinion in Walker Versus United States. Yesterday Judge Jones, sitting in the United States Circuit Court handed down decision, which settles some in teresting litigation between the Gov ernment and B. w. Walker. who was formerly United States Marshal. which has been pending in that court for about seven years
 Mir. Walker. who went. out of office in 1893. filed claims for fees and allow ance for about $2, 800, which were dis allowed by the Treasury Department, after hanging there a long time. He then sued the United States in the Cir cult Court here. The Government then filed a counter-claim for $s42, to re- cover fees which had been paid to MT. Walker, which were thought to be legal at the time, but were afterwards de- cided to be illegal by the Supreme Court. The Government pleaded the statute of limitations to Mir. Walkers claims, and claimed the full amount
 is set off. to which MT. Walker could
 not plead the statute of limitations as
 1t does not run against the United
 States
 The documents in the case filled sew eral long boxes, and a treasury expert Mir. Raley. was in Montgomery at work on them for several weeks. The hard part of the case to Mir. Walker was that he paid over by far the larger part of these fees to the deputy marshals who earned them, years before the Govern ment soughtato get them back. and at a time when the Treasury Department, and everybody else, recognized the claims as valid.
 The law requires the court to make a special written finding of all the facts, and together with its legal conclusions, and Judge Jones yesterday complied with the law, by filing his opinion and findings.
 The case Is an interesting one as it
 involved among other nice points, the question whether the United Staes can under any circumstances be estopped from recovering money illegally paid out, even though the lower courts at the time held the charge was legal Judge Jones' held that all of Mir. Walkers claims. except $217, was bar red by statute of limitations and that the Government was estepped from re- covering on its counter claim, and taxed the United States with the cost. It is thought because of the import ance of the precedent against the Gov | ernment, 1t may take the case to the Court of Appeals.

CLEMENCY FOR TW0|
WILLIAM 0AISoOM AND GEORGE
 WILSON FREED.
White Man ef Franklin ana Negro Boy of Barbsur, Ceavfcts, Arc Sub-
 3ects of G0vern0R's MsrcZ

William Grissom, . white convict or Franklin County, and George Wilson. a 12-year- old negro convict. were re- cipients of executive ciemency yester- day. Grissom has served over seven years in the penitentiary on conviction Of | attempting to have carnal knowledge of 6 child.
 George Wilson, who was convicted of burglary in two cases by the Bar bour County circuit court. Is one or the youngest boys that ever was put in the State convict stripes It was on account of his extreme youth that the Governor paroled him on the condition of future good conduct. The notation of the Governor on the parole of young Wilson was as fol- lows:
 "Geosre Wilson: "On account of this boys youth at the time of the commission of the offense, on the petition in his behalf 1t Is ordered that he be paroled de-
 pendent upon his future good con-
 duct"
 Tn each of the two cases in which
 young Wilson was convicted the sem tence was for thirteen months. good portion of the time was served by the
 boy. The parole was recommended by J. L. Ross whose store was robbed
 by the youth.
 Grfssom was pardoned outright. It
 was recommended to the Governor by
 the State board of Pardons. the trial
 fudge, the solicitor of Franklin Coun-
 ty, all the county ofnciais except one
 and by ten Of the twelve members
 of the trial jury.
 The statement of the Governor &C., companying the pardon was as fol-
 lows:
 william Grissom: This man was convicted for an at tempt at carnal knowledge and sent
 to the penitentiary for ten years. He has served about three-fourths Of his term. with allowance for good conduct. The judge presiding has written sev- eral times in his behalf and in one letter stated that he had doubt of Gris- som's guilt. The solicitor who has very rarely written either the Board of Pardons or the Governor in behalf of any prisoner, takes an interest in this one and expresses the hope that clemency will be exercised towards Grissom. Very many of the mans neighbors, ten out of the twelve men of the members of the jury who tried him, and all the county officials, except one. ask that clemency now be extend ed. The Board of Pardons advises to the same end.
 Tt is ordered that a pardon be is-
 sued to him."
 The conduct of these convicts has
 been generally good since they began
 to serve their sentences. Grfssoms s
 sentence was for ten years.

Why She Felt Lenient To-

A great deal depends on the point Of
view. A good temperance woman was
led. in q very peculiar way, to revise
her somewhat harsh judgment of the
poor devil who cannot resist the cups
and she is now the more charitable.
She writes;
For many years 1 was Z sceat, suf-
ferer from asthma. Finally my health
got so poor that L found could not lie

SITUATION AT ESSEN

Didn't

Essen, Prussia. Feb 10.-The situa-
ton in the coal mine strike is very
much confused. Some mines report
scarcely any Increase in the number OF
operatives returning to work at the
midday shift. while others announce a
great increase At Krupp's mines two
thirds of the men are working Other
mines have applications from great
numbers of returning operatives Even
in the districts where miners meetings
voted to stay out it is believed the

A dispatch from Hoerde. Westphalia.
says that although the strikers are dis
appointed and angry over the decision
of the delegates conference, they have
voted to follow the leaders and take up
work. A general resumption is eX-
pected there on Monday.
AdviceS from Oberhausen indicate
that few miners have resumed work
acting in accordance with the vote at
Thursdays mass meetings Another
meeting was held today which, after an
exciting discussion, reiterated yester-
days decision to stay out. The opera
tives ia the neiGhborinS styrum district
resolved to continue the strike and
moved for the election of new men.
The Herne region also reports vio-
lent attitude toward the committee.
