CLEMENCY FOR SIMMONS.
Sentence of Boisterous Boatswain's
Mate Mitigated

Secretary Metcalf has mitisated the
sentence imposed by a general naval
convened at Norfolk, Va.
in the case of Waldron P. Simmons. chief
boatswain's mate attached to the United
States steamship Franklin receiving ship
at Norfolk. Simmons was convicted or
the charge of conduct to the prejudice OF
good order and discipline in connection
with~t trouble between sailors and col
ored farmers at Norfolk August last,
during which Simmons is reported to have
discharged his revolver. The court found
that he was careless in the execution of
his orders and had failed to restrain the
men of his command from indulging in
riotous proceedings. and sentenced him
to be reduced to the rating of a seaman
to confinement for two years and to for
felt all but s. a month of his pay and al
lowances.
The court was unanimous. however, in
a recommendation for clemency. At the
suggestion of Capt. Campbell. judge adj
vocate general of the navy. who reviewed
the case. the Secretary of the Navy re-
mitted that portion of the sentence pro-
viding for reduction in rating, and re-
duced the period Of Imprisonment to one
year, with corresponding police duties
and forfeiture of pay. and directed
further that the execution Of the sentence
be suspended entirely for one year if the
conduct of the accused during that period
warranted it.

MISS MALONEY TO Be FREED
COURT ASKED go ANNUL MAR
RAGE TO OSBORN.
But Church Has Not Yet Declared
Ceremony Invalid and May Not
Act for a Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 11.-When Jus
tice Gerard in special term of the su-
preme court called today the case of
Helen Maloney against Arthur Herbert
Osborn. A. l.. Humes, counsel for Miss
Ma1oney. said:
Your honor. this is an application for
final decree. There is no opposition
submit the proposed decree
Justice Gerard took the decree and re-
served decision. His duty in the case Is
a mere formality and unless something
unexpected happens he will shortly sign
the final decree annuling the marriage
of Miss Maloney and Osborn. Mr.. Humes
declined to discuss the case.
When the final decree is signed Miss
Maloney will be free of her marriage to
young Osborn.
Case Was Adjourned.
Miss Maloney is the daughter of Mar
tin Maloney of Philadelphia. About three
months ago Daniel +. Cohalan was APP
pointed referee in the annulment suit. He
reported to the court that the marriage
should be set aside and this report was
confirmed by Justice Mccall, who signed
an interlOcutory decree. About two
weeks ago the case appeared on the cal
endar for final judgment, but owing to
the absence from the city of one of the
attorneys, the case was adjourned until
today.
The story of Helen Maloney's elopment
and marriage to Osborn. has been told
has that of her marriage to Samuel Il.
Clarkson in Montreal Several facts here
tofOrc unbuplisned have been learned
from an authoritative source that strong
ly Influenced Miss Maloney in her mar
riage to Clarkson.
Marriage Not Valid.
A few days before the pair ran away to
Montreal young GARRISON showed to the
young woman two letters purporting to
come from attorneys in ST. Louis con-
tanning a legal opinion" to the effect
that her marriage TO Osborn was not
valid So impressed was the girl with
these letters that, il is said, she came
to believe the marriage to Osborn was
not binding and apparently hesitated no
longer in marrying ClarkSon.
When Justice Gerard signs the final de-
cree Miss Maloney will, in the eyes of the
law be free from her first husband, but
in the eyes of the Catholic Church, whose
faith she processes she still will be Os-
born's wife. Her plea for the annulment
of her first marriage has gone TO Rome,
and until the final disposition of her case.
which probably will be a year hence she
is as far as the Church of Rome is con-
cerncd Mrs. Osborn.
