Mr.. Dickey's Pardon.

Mo one will begrudge John 7 DicSey the free
dom that has been given him by President
Roosevelt. Mr.. Dckey in Federal Court pleaded
guilty to an offence against the United States
statutes. He was sentenced by Judge Bradford to
term Of ten month imprisonment. He took his
medicine like man, without complaint, and abided
by the decision of the Court 1t was no fault OF his
If his friends or counsel misjudged the punishment
that would be metsd to him by the Court. The
inclination to crtcise the Court for the severity
of the sentence we consider is entirely unwar-
ranted. The offence for which Mr.. Dickey was
indicted is made a serious one by Congress, and it
would never do for the Court to set precedent Of
allowing plea of guilty to operate as practically a
notification of the law. In such case a grave re-
sponsibilty is upon the Court when an indicted per-
son pleads guilty and we have no doubt Judge
Bradford believed he was exercising due cemency
when he imposed the sentence upon Mr.. Dickey.
It was not fair to the Judge to plead guilty to an
indictment and then expect ufling sentence. That
is a matter which should have been carefully consid-
cred by Mr. Dckey and his advisers before entering
his plea.
Judge Bradford evidently considered the crime Of
Mr.. Dickey more serious than most other people do.
It was only because Of the condition of Mr. Dckey
health that Judge Bradford finally agreed to recon-
mend his pardon.
Had it not been for the hasty and unwise action of
some of Mr.. Dickeys friends he would have been
released from the workhouse sometime ago. They
should have known that no petition for clemency
based upon an attack upon the ustness of the SEN
tence Of Court would avail at Washington, When.
however, the petition appeared based upon other and
just reasons the answer was prompt and favorable.
Mr.. Dickey has fully paid the penalty and it would
be hard hearted man who would not approve of
Mr.. Roosevelts action when all the circumstances of
this unfortunate case are considered.

SUNDAY TRAINS in DELAWARE.

TNJE are glad TO note that the Every Evening
w favors Sunday trains on the Delaware railroad
A writer in that journal suggests and wisely too that
the Board Of Trade be called upon to assist in secur-
ing this accommodation from the Delaware railroad
company. Wilmington and the lower counties are
so intimately associated in every way that there is
constant desire for communication Many Whining
tonians are deprivedof trips down the State be-
cause of the lack of transportation facilities on Sun
day.
AS our contemporary truly states, no such restrc-
tons are imposed upon any other similar community
as obtain in this State If the Board of Trade, the
newspapers and the patrons of the road, who would
be benefited by Sunday train service, join in the
movement there is little doubt that their efforts would
be effective. There has been an old superstition
that the railroad company could not legally such
trains but there is no basis in fact for such notion
The company could furnish the transportation faci-
ties whenever suited its fancy to accommodate the

of the suit against the Mercantile | Trust Company asked MT. Hughes. T am not sure about that. Mir Hughes; when you speak of 1t I be- lieve there was some conversation replied MT. Hartman.
 Mir Hartman said he did not have any interview with either Mir. Hyde or Governor Odell about the settle ment of the Odell claim prior to the adjournment of the legislature in 1904
 When MT. Hartman had been ex- cused. and just before he left the wit ness stand MT. Untermyer asked per- mission to cross examine the witness.
 Somebody Badly Wrong.
 Chairman Armstrong referred the matter to the committee, but before doing so Mir. Untermyer said: q think that we have here for the first time in this investigation a square issue of fact between two gentlemen and l know of no better way of determining such an issue of fact than by the tes- pody Is grieviously mistaken in his re- collection of the facts and we should like to know who it is"
 MT. Hughes and the committee then consulted for few minutes and Chair man Armstrong announced that the purposes of the committee would not be subserved by granting MT. Unter- hJSA request. MT. f1uBneS SalQ the committee wanted to be fair and that if there were any questions MT. Unter- myer wanted asked, if they were sub mitted to him and he deemed them pertinent, he would put them to the witness. Answering the question of MT Untermyer, through MT. Hughes, MT Hartman said that when he re- quested MrY Hyde to move the adop- ton of the Prick report he did not acquaint him with its purport.
 MT. Untermyer broke in and asked; Did you know that the Prick report you had would disgrace him?" but Sen ator Armstrong rapped vigorously for order and told Mir. Hartman that he need not answer the question.
 MT. Hyde was again recalled after Mir. Hartman and denied that he suR- gested the settlement of the Odell suit as testified by MT. Hartman. He re- affirmed his testimony of yesterday on that point and said he had nothing to add.
 OdeII Made No Threats.
 Answering Assemblyman James T. Rogers of the committed, MT. Hyde said he introduced MT. Colby to Mir. Odell in Mir. Harriman's office one day and they had an interview. but he was not present. MT Rogers asked If Odell ever said anything 10 him or in his hearing about proceedings against the Mercan- tile Trust Company other than legal proceedings and MT. Hyde replied, No
 Answering Mir. Rogers MT. Hyde said the statement of the attack on the charter came from Mir. Harrison sub sequent to June, 1904
 But, said MT. Rogers. "Governor odeli was going out of office on the 31st O. December"

HARTMAN AND HYDE IN
 A QUESTION OF VERACITY

riman said he was never a member of the Executive or Financial Committees of the Equitable Life. He knew noth- ing of the moneys paid for influencing legislation nor for campaign contribu- tions.
 The odell suit settlement was then taken up. MT. Hartman acknowledged he had a conversation with MT. Hyde relating to 1t. MT. Hartman said at this point that he had read none of the testimony in the investigation and as his mind was fresh, therefore he would like to state his side. MT. Hughes said he would read MT. Hartman the testi~ mony later. MT. Hartman then pro- ceeded with his statement.
 Mir. Hartman said that MT. Hyde came. he saw P. O. Deming also a month before the settlement was made and asked him to use his influence to induce Governor Odell to settle his suit against the Mercantile Trust Company. MT. Hyde told him that the Odell suit was pany and that 1t might induce other suits to be brought by other people who had subscribed to the bonds of the United States Shipbuilding Company. Mir. Hartman said he arranged an in- terview between Governor Odell and MT. Hyde. which was held In MT. Harri- mans office.
 
 Mir. Colby, an attorney, was with MT. Hyde. Governor Odell seemed to be ir- ritated after the interview. Some days later Mir. Hyde and Mir. Colby visited Mir. Hartman and MT Hartman promised to see Governor OdelI and "try to get him to do some- thing about settling the suit
 Another interview between Governor Odell and MT. Hyde took place. 1t may have been at Mir. Harriman's house. Af- ter Mir. Hyde told Mir Hartman he was willing to pay $70, 900 and asked him to try and get the Governor to accept that am punt, Governor Odell told MT. Har- riman that if he (Harriman) specially advised it he (Governor Odell) would settle for that amount.
 T told MT. Hyde of that interview said MT. Hartman, and said that if were in his place and were going tc settle 1t, while had no advice to give as to whether 1t should be settled. ] would not stand on s75.090 on A set satisfactory. And I understood after ward that Mir. Hyde saw him and pay ment was made. of which I have no fur ther knowledge"
 Tn reply to inquiries by Mir. Hughes Mir. Hartman said Governor Odell dit not tell him that bill had been in. troduced in the Legislature to repea the charter of the Mercantile Trust Company and that his first intimatior of this came from his counsel.
 Did Not Fear Albany.
 Did you say anything to MT. Hyde in any of his interviews as to the de- sirability of settling the suit because of the power that might be exercised against the company at Albany" asked MT. Hughes
 No, sir"
 Did you make any mention to MT Hyde of any attempts that had been or might be made to repeal the charter of the Mercantile Trust Company? NO, sir.''
