Man Sentenced for Cracking Bank
 Sufes Gets His Freedom.
 Concord. N. H.. April Is.--Adhering firmly to his story that he was vic- tim of mistaken identity a prisoner known as Max Shinborn,' bank burg lar of international notoriety, was re- leased today from the State prison. his sentence for the robbery of Walpole, N. H.. Savings Bank having expired on Easter Sunday. All through the con- hnement the prisoner has insisted that his real name Is Henry E. Woebus and he has made numerous unsuccessful attempts to have the courts to con- sider his claim.
 It is estimated that in the series of burglaries committed by Max Shin- born's gang more than s2.ooo.ooo was stolen within ten years.
 In addition. to the Walpo1e robbery which was committed on9April 21, 1865, shinborn is said to have been the head of a gang which in 1869 broke into the wich Street, New York, and got away with s1,000,000 worth of plunder. Fol- lowing this came the robbery of the Boylestown Bank in Boston, the West Maryland Bank in Baltimore. and the Manhattan Savings, Bank in New York. 2 It was more than thirty years after Shinborn's conviction for the WaipoIe robbery, and his subsequent escape from prison here that he was brought back to Concord to finish his ten years sentence. Meanwhile he had been liv- fnx in Belgium. where he bore the. title of Count and moved in aristocratic circles. Shinborn is now 74 years of age.

Merry Widow" Frightened;
 SaUed by Presence of Mind.

During the afternoon the merry widow" rode out to the parks of the city She detests lack of space. and yesterday sine wanted air-air' above her. air all around her. and just hair beneath her. Wherever she went q band went with her and she must have enjoyed herseff immensely. Though 1t was Easter Sunday. and she felt pin ned down all of the time yet she had . glorious tinne--it was her first real outing of the season.
 There was only one thing that de- tracted from the complete enjoyment of the merry widow"-she suddenly be- came ,conizant of the fact that she was sitting upon rat. Dumb with hor- TOT. she remained in one position. but finally came the tranquilizlng thought that such a thing. as rat was below her notice. By this mental ingenuity was she saved.
 Easter has gone. but the merry widow remains. No longer need one pine for sthes sshade of the old apple truce" One. fact, however. is certain. Unless man stoops to conquer. the doom of. sne merry widow" Is sealed.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-04-20

The happy Easter Day has passed. but fond memory awakes from it's brief nights sleep and recalls with delight the fair faces. the gloriously spring like costumes. and the alluring merry widow" hats that yesterday slsnalized its annual advent. It Is evident that the weather man can deny the merry widow" nothing. and secure in her power to keep him in good humor. she yesterday ventured boldly upon the streets. Haunting her buxom charms before the face of whenever would look. upon them. And she had no lack of attention Wherever she went ar- dent looks followed her. and if no sign of recognition was vouchsafed. the merry widow" did not care. She was on top and she knew it.
 The merry widow experienced a few moments of passing an<iety. but the weather man was very kind, and safely ensconed beneath the shelter of a friendly .verandah or placidly rest ing within some other secure retreat she smiled with joy as she viewed the falling raindrops--joy that what was, had not been before.
