WANT PARDON
FOR LORD NEVILLE

London, Jan. 17.-Strong infiu-
ence is brought to bear upon the
home secretary to procure a pardon
for Lord William Neville, who is now
serving a long sentence for fraud
Foremost among those who work to
set the young nobleman free, is his
wife who clung to him so bravely
during his first trial and conviction,
but who now declares that If she
succeeds she will never live with him
again and only wants to see him free
that he may have another chance in
India, Africa or Canada.
The prison authorities say that
Lord Neville is in very poor health,
and that his spirit is completely
broken. He twice tried to commit
suicide In prison and is now under
constant guard night and day.
BY his family. the Abergavennys,
Lord Neville is considered dead. His
name is never mentioned, even his
favorite brother. Lord Richard, hav-
ing deserted him.

arising, the son went from the house
into the yard and defied his father to
cross line drawn with the blade
of the axe in the earth. The father
crossed the line, blow was heard
and the daughter rushed out to find
