To SAVE WOMAN

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-A story
strange as that constituting a plot of
any novel will be told to Governor Hig-
gins of New York by a lawyer when
he endeavors to secure the pardon of a
man who chose to serve a sentence of
three years Imprisonment In Sing Sing
prison for the crime of which he was
innocent to shield the name of a woman
from scandal.
carl F1Sher-HanSen, the lawyer, said
day that he would at once appeal
for the pardon of the prisoner, whose
name he would not reveal, at the re-
quest of the woman whose reputation
the prisoner had saved at the expense
of his own liberty. The woman, Fish
er-Hansen says, had visited his office
within a few days and said that her
husband had just died and that she
now wanted to do justice to the pris-
oner. They had been friends and, more
than a year ago, when her husband
returned unexpectedly, he caught the
other running away. To save her from
scandal the man confessed that he had
broken into her home to steal, where
upon he was arrested and is now in
Sing Sing.
The prisoner was a young college
student who disappeared from one of
the colleges when he was arrested.
Il will not say whether it was Har-
ward, Yale or Princeton, said the law
yer. mo one has ever known what
became of him. as he was tried and
sentenced under an assumed name. The
