score Of people in Boston and its vi

Martin Mulkern, both of this city.

of heat was somewhat mitigated by a
brisk breeze from the southwest and
numerous clouds which shut off the
sun every few minutes. The atmosphere
was not quite so saturated with mois-
ture as on yesterday. but the ther-
mometer touched 81 at 1 o'clock, this
afternoon, although 1t fell slowly but
steadily toward tonight.
Several thunder showers moved
somewhat listlessly across Massachu-
sets ard other parts of New England.
but none of them had force enough to
create any amount of damage.
The weather bureau, tonight, was
unable to hold out any prospects for

the temperatures being very high

For Rev. F. ". Sanford
On Return from Europe.
Supreme Court 0verru|es Ex-
ceptIons to Verdict Of Guilty
Of Cruelty Of His Soa.-.Hs Is Now Beyond
State Jurisdiction.

Portland. Me-. July 13.-Exceptions by
Rev. Frank w. Sanford, head of the
Holy Ghost and Us Society at Shiloh,
to the Judges charge to the jury in the
trial at which he was found guilty OF
cruelty of cruelty to his son, John
Sanford, are overruled by the full
bench of the Maine supreme court in
a rescript handed down. Thursday.
The punishment provided by the Sec
ton under which Mr.. Sanford was in
dicted is fine not exceeding 500 or
Imprisonment for not exceeding one
year.
Sanford, who is now in the vicinity
of the island of Malta, in the Mediter-
ranean sea, with his missionary yacht
Coronet, and party. probably will be
taken before the September term of
the supreme court at Auburn for sem
tence.
Sanford was tried before Justice A.
r. Savage at the January term of the
supreme court at Auburn. last year.
the charge relating to alleged abuse of
his son by compulsory and long con-
tInued fasting alone in a tower and
whippings for the purpose of driving
away the devil' it is said. The excep-
tions to the verdict were argued before
the full bench at the law term at Au-
susta, last December. The rescript
reads.
The defendant was indicted under
Section "A of Chapter g. r. s.. as fol-
lows: Section A. Any parent, guardi-
an of other person. having the care and
custody of any child, who cruelty treats
such child by abuse, neglect, over
work or extreme punishment. shall be
by Imprisonment not exceeding one
year."
1t is the opinion of the majority of
the court that the intentional infliction
OF punishment, which is extreme,
manifestly disproportionate to the Of
fence and dangerous to the health of
the child is cruel treatment within
the meaning and letter of the statute
without reference to the spirit or pur-
pose with which such punishment was
inflicted.
Under this Interpretation of the stat
ute and the evidence stated in the bill
of exceptions the defendant was not
prejudiced by any of the rulings ex-
cepted to, either in the instructions
given or refused, or in the exclusion Of
the offered evidence.
The exceptions therefore must be
