To present the evidence that the canal
purchase money was paid to Americans,
the World goes on to say:
1.-The old French company organized by
Ferdinand de Lesseps in 1879 failed in
1889, years before Mr.. Cromwelrs rela-
tions with President Roosevelt began. AS
Mr.. Cromwell testified before the Senate
committee on February Do 1906, we never
had any connection with the so-called de
Lesseps company. Neither did the United
States government conduct negotiations
with the old French Panama Canal Com
pany.

the Italians of Barre nearly five
years ago and who is now in the
state prison at Windsor, has written
a letter to Governor Proctor asking
Off a pardon. States Attorney
Gates is now looking up the case and
will make report to the governor.
Garetto was indicted on November
4, 1903, and was tried at the Sep
TENDER term of court, then in SEES
sion. After a long trial he was con-
victed of man-slaughter and was
sent to the state prison for not less
than ten and not more than II
years. He began the sentence on
January 4, 1904, and has therefore
served little less than half the
minimum sentence. In his letter to
Governor Proctor, dated May "a,
Garetto states that he was a victim
of anarchist evidence and convicted
on perjury and fabrication. He
adds a postscript: con account of
that law-breaking psychologically
sick crowd, my family has lost a

of a husband and father.
