JOHN COLLINS PARD0NED
Governor Hoch of Kansas Believes
the Young Man Was the
Victim of a Plot.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. Ex-Governor Hoch
late this afternoon pardoned John Col
Inns, now serving a life sentence in the
Kansas state prison for the murder of his
father, Joseph Collins. Well-to-do real
estate and insurance man, in this city
in May of 1898. Collins will be free on
Christmas day. Governor Hoch believes
Collins innocent.
The Collins case was one of tho most
remarkable criminal cases in this part
Of the west Young Collins was a stu
dent at Kansas university at the time
of his fathers death. He was convicted
upon the testimony Of three negroes all
of it being circumstantial in character
At the trial the state set up the plea
that Collins was in love with Miss Fran
ces Babcock a wealthy young society
woman Of Lawrence. Kan, and that Col
Inns planned the. killing of his father
that he might gain life insurance which
the senior Collins carried upon his life.
One of the negroes upon whose testi-
mOny Collins was convicted has since
written book. asserting that the tes-
umony of the three negroes at the trial
was part of a plan of enemies of young
Collins to ruin him by fixing the respon-
sibility for his fathers death upon him
The elder Collins found dead in bed
one morning after a visit TO his son in
Lawrence.

NOT TRYING TO

Senator Teller Considers Gold

LETTER TO FRIEND FREWEN
NO APOLOGY TO MAKE FOR
WHAT 1T CONTAINED.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Referring to the
publication of letter written by him on
the financial question to Sir Moreton
Frewen, Senator Teller said today that he
had no intention of reviving the silver
question. but that his only purpose had
been 10 call attention TO the present con-
ditions of exchange between Europe and
America on one side, and Asia on the
other. ~
one of worldwide importance and there
has come to be such divergence between
prices In the gold-using and the silver
using countries that the situation is grow
ing somewhat acute. II is SO much ia evil
dence that any one who gives the least
attention to financial questions must OBJ
serve IT. Hence | make no apology for
my reference to it in personal letter to
Mr.. FreWen.
No Cause for Astonishment.
Il do not see," he continued. why anv
of the members of the monetary commits
sion should be astonished i'm INV utter
anceS, as some of them are represented
by the newspapers to have been. as my
ietter old not purpOrt to be written on be-
half of, or to express the opinion of the
commission. For the last twelve years |
have correspondent more or less with Mr.
E,rewen as to the monetary condition of
EUROPE and the condition of exchange be-
tween Europe and the United States and
Asia. He is a gentleman well informed on
all these questions. When he visits the
United States, he always calls on me. and
we have discussed these questions very
freely.
Justified in What He Wrote.
II did say in my letter to him that the
commission would hear him at the prop
er time. and i have no doubt il will |
was justified in this because the commits
sion had sent a portion of its membership
to Europe in search of Information as TO
the monetary systems of the world and
the condition of commerce and finance of
those countries.
1.-The members who went to Europe GER
tainly acquired a fund of information that
will be useful not only TO the commission
but to the country at large I practically
stated that l was speaking for myself as
10 what I supposed the commission would
do. / have understood that the object of
this commission is primarily to obtain in
formation as to the monetary condition OF
formation TO congress with or without its
recommendation as it may deem proper.
The Goschen Plan.
II did not indicate that the commission
was considering or would consider the
Goschen plan for small notes of ten shil-
lings or twenty shillings, nor that l was
for il. Goschen was a mODometallist of the
extreme type. His proposition was based
ON the idea that the small notes, legal ten
der for ten dollars only. would make use
of some silver and that would enable the
government to accumulate gold. This
was not accepted by the silver people
either in Europe or the United States.
Personally. | think there is sufficient
merit in the Goschan plan to Justify the
commission in considering it.
