PARDON FOR MERIwETHER
Middy's Hazing Was Only Good'Na'

Washington. Feb. S.-Secretary of
the Navy Bonaparte recommended to
the president the pardon of Midship-
man Minor Meriwether. Jr.. convicted
OF hazing and sentenced to dismissal
from the naval academy. The secre-
tary says there Is room for reasonable
doubt as TO whether the acts were
committed with criminal intent. and
adds that the accused stood on his
head and performed the rabbit dance"
and various other nonsensical acts in
the presCace OF the same midshipmen
whom he is accused of haZing.
"Thc acts of hazing proved against
the accused" says the secretary. ARE
not only. as the court says. mild in
form, but rather good-natured horse
play than any deliberate attempt to
usurp authority over midshipmen of
the fourth class or to Cypress or hui

Said, When Asked to Plead.

Mount Holly. N. j., Feb. 8. - The
grand jury found a true bill of indict-
ment against Rufus Johnson for the
wilful murder of Miss Florence w AL.
linson at MOorestown. A formal plea
of not guilty was entered In Johnson's
behalf and the trial will take place
on Thursday next.
"HOw say you. Rufus: are you guilty
or not guilty." asked Justice Hen.
erickson. The prisoner raised his head
and looked the justice squarely In the
face as he gave his abrupt reply:
Guilty; murdered the woman"
"The court recognizes only the plea
OF not guilty In this case" said Jus.
ticc Iiendrickson to the prisoner you
arc not permitted to plead guilty"
While the colored man stood with
head lowered and with his shifting
eyes taking in apprehensively the
crowd on either side. the court then
fixed next Thursday as the date for
his trial and appointed Jacob Hen
erickson a Mount Holly attorney, TO
defend him. This was the closing scene
OF the proceedings which started the
brutal murderer of Miss Allinson on
his swift march TO the gallows.

abandoning her husband and home af-

and by fleeing to the Hotel Bristol. she
committed a legal false step.
Interested friends have advised her
that by her flight she lost her legal
standing, and that her abandonment
OF home also entailed the abandon

she feared TO lose possession of her
children that she returned home with
them.
