SEEK SARGOOD's RELEASE
Hnhcns Corpus Proceedings Brought
in Bennington County.

Bennington, June G.-Eugene L. Sar-
good of Arlington. who has been in the
State prison at Windsor for the past
seven years. arrived at Manchester this
morning in charge of Prison Superintcnd-
ent w. S. Lowell for hearing before
Judge Loveland Munson OF the supreme
court on habeas corpus proceedings to
secure his release on the ground that he
is illegally restrained by the state.
Efforts to effect Sargoods release have
heen in progress for the past two years
and during that time two applications
have been made to as many governors
for pardon. Governor Prouty held hear
ing al Windsor shortly before the eXpira-
ton of his term of Office in Sargood s
, case hut never made any report upon It.
on April 6 last Governor Mead, following
a hearing at Rutland, which was attend
ed by the attorney general, refused to
grant the prisoner a pardon.
The case of Sargood vas one Of the
most sensational in the history of Ben
rington county court. He was convicted
e three offenses. for poisoning livestock,
for attempting to cause the death of Mr.,
and Mrs. Sanford Hicks. two of his neigh
bors. by the same means, and for perjury
first conviction he was brought here from
prison for his other trials. The minimum
sentences for the three convictions
amounted to II 1-2 years. All three cases
We're appealed to the supreme court which
in May, 1906, confirmed the convictions In
tie two poisoning cases but remanded the
perjury case for another trial
The perjury case was never retired and
after Sa1good had completed the sentence
of 3 l-2 years for poisoning stock the frs t
attempt was made to secure his release
His counsel James *. Batchelder of Ar
lngton, contended that his client was
illegally restrained for the reason that
the perjury sentence, which had never
been confirmed. followed the sentence for
stock poisoning. Briefs in the case were
submitted to Judge Hand Of the United
States court AT Windsor, but the hearing
was never completed.

COFFERDAM IS
HOLDING WELL
Water Lowered Five Feet-First
Stage of Work on Wreck of
Maine Completed.

Havana, June 6.-IThe first stage of the
actual work of uncovering the wreck
of the battleship Maine was completed
at five o'clock this afternoon when pump
ing operations ceased after the water
level within the great cofferdam built
around the wreck had been lowered pre-
cisely five feet
This leaves the portion of tho wreck
visible above the water practically the
same as on the night Of the disaster be-
fore the hull had time to become en-
bedded IN the mud at the bottom Of the
harbor There is now visible long
stretch of the starboard side Of the quar-
ter deck, which is slightly raised owing
to a list TO port OF the after two-thirds
portion of the roof Of the 1o-inch after
turret on the port side are above the
water. All the newly exposed portions
of the wreck are covered with barnacles
and rank marine vegetable growth the
removal of which is necessary for san-
tary reasons before decomposition sets
in.
When the pumping ceased to-day the
cofferdam nowhere showed the least sign
of seepage or leakage apparently being
absolutely waterproof and of the most
ample stability.
The pumping IS to be suspended until
June 15 when the water level will be
reduced another five feet. The work Will
then be suspended again so that \ minute
examination may be made OF all sections
Of the cofferdam, after which tho pump
ing will be continued at intervals. de-
pendent upon the results of the examina-
ton of the dam, until the bottom Is
reached, probably three or four weeks
hence.
Intense interest has been aroused in
Havana through the realization that the
wreck of the battleship Is actually coming
into view after 10 years burial and that
the mystery regarding the character of
the explosion Is soon to be cleared up.
Many visitors. Cubans, Americans and
Spaniards. visited the wreck to-day.

The administration has contended
throughout that amendments to the

victory but the vote Will be postponed
