LIFE CONVICTS FREED
FROM SING SING PRISON,
Had Served from Twenty-Five to Thirty
five Years and New Law
Benefited Them.

OSSINING, N. Y, Sept. 1T.-After eacn
of them had served not less than
twenty-five years behind the bars, and
had hardly ever hoped to see the out
side world again. FIVE men, life prison
ers. are free today from Sing Sing
prison and are with friends.
Under the new prison law thirteen
pardons were granted out of twenty
two Implications. The pardons are in
the form of paroles, and five of the
prisoners were what is known as
differs"
All that the men will be required to
do is to report once a month to the
nearest police station or the Sheriff
wherever they may happen to be, so
that the officials of the prison may keep
in touch with their movements and
conduct.
One of the five men was Patrick
Casey, of Long Island City, a former
policeman, who killed Joseph Comiskey,
another policeman, in a quarrel. Casey
was taken home as quietly as possible.
as relatives of Comiskey had threatened
to avenge his death on Casey should he
ever be freed.
The others were: James Riley, an
indian, of Erie County, who had served
thirty-two years for the murder of his
wife; Fon Yon. a Chinese, who had
served thirty-hve years; Michael Hack
EFT. twenty-five years. and John j.
Lynch twenty-five years.

HOLLINS FOUND GUILTY
OF KILLING TH0RNE
Jury in Case of Man Charged with
Shooting Negro Whom. He Mistook
for Burglar Out Only Ten Minutes.
Especial to the Evening start

ELIZABETH, Sept. 13.-The jury in
the case of George G. Hollins, indicted
on a Charge of manslaughter In killing
a negro, James Thorne, whom he mis-
took for a burglar, returned a verdict
of guilty this afternoon, after being
out only ten minutes.
Both sides had finished their cases
shortly after IL, and Judge Atwater had
finished his charge to the jury by 1910.
He received the verdict ten minutes
later. If the verdict was a surprise to
the accused he did not show it.
Mr.. H%ollins's mother also bore up
well under the sentence. Hollins was
released in $4,000 bail to appear for
sentence. Security was furnished by
the young mans aunt, Mrs. Sara G,
Pickham.
The principal witness for the State was
Clarence Buckley. who was the companion
of Thorne when he was killed. Buckley
testified hi he heard an upstairs window
raised and Immediately three shots were
fred in quick succession. He thought first
the shots were fired by a woman, the
mother OF Hollins. as the arm beyond the
window with the sleeve of the nightgown
falling over the wrist, deceived him. He
called out: Mrs. Hollins. it's me, ClaT-
ence, my God, don't shoot" A bullet
passed through his c~oattall as he ran
frightened along the side of the house
after Thorne had fallen. Buckley's testi-
mony was not shaken on c-ross-examina-
tion by former Governor Foster M. Voor-
hecs. counsel for Hollins.
George G.. Hollins, in his own defense.
swore that he had been awakened by un-
usual noises about the house early on the
morning of March IL. On looking out the
window he saw two men moving about.
He thought they were burglars and fired.

WOMAN'S WIT
FOILS THIEF
IN NIGHT
Gives Husband Chair as a
Weapon and lie Uses
1t Properly.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-By the
bravery of a young mother who
aroused her husband and helped fight
off an intruder in the face of a revolt
yer, a desperate attempt to rob and
possibly murder Frank M. Franklin, a
real estate agent, in his home, at 2O5
Second avenue, was foiled early today.
Mr.. Franklin had $4,000 in cash in his
apartment at the time. AT rent collect
ing periods he is forced sometimes to
keep as much as $500 with him over
night.
1t was probably with the knowledge
that the real estate man kept such
large sums of money with him at times
that a burglar, masked and carrying a
long knife in his teeth like a desperate
of dime novel fame, climbed to the
real of the second floor of the house
where Franklin lives and tried to
climb in through the kitchen window.
Mrs. Franklin, who had been awak-
ened by the crying of her infant, heard
the man breaking into the house, and
although only % years old, n a
slight, delicate woman, instead OF
screaming or becoming frightened, she
quietly awoke her husband and whis-
pered to him that a burglar was COM
ing in.
Franklin searched hurriedly for his
revolver, but found he had left 1t in
his office. CHANGING into the kitchen,
he saw that the thief was carrying a
revolver as well as a knife. The rob-
Der covered Franklin with the revolver
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Franklin was about to obey.
when his wife pushed him aside and
thrust a small chair INTO his hands.
Throw this at him." she whispered.
and his wife's courage aroused Frank
lin to a frenzy of anger. With an oath
he threw the chair at the burglar, fell
ing the man to the floor. Both Franklin
and his wife sprang upon the intruder
and tried to hold him, arousing the
n%eighborhood at the same time with
shouts for help.
With powerful blows the burglar
fought off the man and his wife and
leaped out of the window, dropping to
the yard two stories below. Franklin
saw that the burglar, unhurt by the
fall, quickly arise to his feet and run
away. The reserves of the East Twen-
ty-second street station were called.
but no trace of the thief could be
found.

GIRL DRIVEN INSANE
BY MOVING PICTURES.
Couldn't Realize Scenes Were Not Real
and Appeared Dazen After Seeing
the Show.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Watching a
moving picture show drove Bessie
Schock, a Swedish servant girl en-
ployed by Mrs. James Kane, jr, of
Oceanyiew avenue, Woodhaven, l.. l.,
insane recently, and yesterday she was
removed to the Flatbush Insane Asy-
lum. Miss Schock is about 20 years
old She mas only been in this country
a short time, and became acquainted
with the Kane family while the latter
were spending their summer in Sara
toga County. When the Kanes returned
to Woodhaven this fall they brought
Bessie with them.
1t was her first experience near a
large city, and she became fascinated
with its strange sights. The Kanes
took Bessie with them recently to a
moving picture show in Jamaica.
Bessie became enraptured with the
rapidly shifting scenes, and it was hard
for her to realize that the scenes were
not beng portrayed by living persons,
and when the family started for home
she appeared dazed. On h trolley
car she acted strangely. and a passeTK-
ger thinking hat she had a fit, ran
into a nearby store, and getting q
handful Of salt started into rub the
girls wrists and temples. Another exe
cited passenger mistook the salt for
poison and called up al ambulance
from the Jamaica Hospital with the
news that a pretty young woman had
attempted suicide on a trolley car.
The girl was finally removed to 81.
Mary's Hospital, in Jamaica, where her
condition was said to be serious, and
her removal to Flatbush was ordered.

Senate, will serve in the same capacity
for the committee. The members Of the
Senate committee are Chairman Brad

Mr.. Barrett said today that he felt
honored by the appointment and espe-
cially by the urgency with which Gov
ernor Stokes and Senator Bradley in
sisted upon his acceptance. He mod
estly said that he had some doubts as
to his qualifications for the office, but

mission without fear or favor, having
In view the ascertainment of actual
conditions without respect to lndivid-
uals or parties. Such matters as may

cation is to ascertain whether or not
existing laws are sufficient for the
proper and progressive government.
IF evils or violations of law are ex-
posed by reason of the inquiry we

fore shall be punished, but this will be
merely incidental to the higher object
the committee aims at, namely, that
adequate legal safeguards surround all
municipal, county and State admins
trative departments, and if they he
found faulty. to recommend to the
Senate remedial legislation that shall
be practical and effective.

THIRD WARD DEMOCRATS
WANT ASSEMBLYMAN,
Say It's Time More Things Come Their

MYSTERY
SOLVED
Cook in Rich Mont
clair Mans Home Held
for Diamond Theft.

AS the result of a mysterious dia-
mond robbery committed last January
In a wealthy Montclair home, Mrs.
Teresa e. Uravati, of 4S4 Market street,
this city, was held in 81, 500 bail today
by Recorder Henry L. Yost in the
bail she was sent to the county Jail.
With her arrest most of the stolen
jewelry was recovered and a puzzling
case thus solved.
Mrs. Uravati and her husband, Mar
tin Uravati, were employed up to last
January in the home of w. A. Black,
of 324 Orange road, Montclair, as cook
and ccachman, respectively. Miss
Martha A. Simpson, of Pittsburg, Pa,
was on a visit to his sister, Mrs. Black,
and on January 2S last she missed
three diamond rings and a necklace,
valued in all at $1,000. A quiet search
was made through the house, but no
trace of the missing jewelry could be
found.
A week after the robbery the IRA
watts left the employ of Mr.. Black.
Then Miss Simpson became suspicious
that they were the guilty persons. She
notified Chief of Police Henry Gal
lagher, of Montclair, who instituted a
search, but he could get no clue to
the missing jewelry.
Tuesday morning last Chief Gallagher
was informed that Mary Polaski, a
sister of Mrs. Uravati, who lives in
East Orange, had attended a ball in
this city last Saturday night and that
she wore a diamond ring. The descrip-
ton tailed with one of the rings stolen
from Miss Simpson. The chief called
on the East Orange woman, who al
first denied that she had a diamond
ring, but before the chief left her
house he secured possession of the
ring and a promise that she would re-
turn the other two rings to him the
next day, which she did.
The chief then set to work to find
the address of Mrs. Uravati, which he
succeeded in doing yesterday. The
woman was conducting a boarding
house at Asa Market street, this city.
He arrested her and took her to Mont
clair.
Chief Gallagher now has possession
of the >thr ee rings. One is a solitaire
diamond, one set with an emerald and
diamond and the third a ruby and
diamond.
The this morning disclaimed
all knowledge of the necklace, and
said tina she found the rings in the
yard of Mr.. Blacks home.
