PARDON Is DENIED
EUGENE G. SARG00D
Who Is In State Prison for Attempted
Poisoning of Bennington
County People.

Bennington, April 7.--State's Attorney
w. j. Meagher yesterday received wore
from Governor John A. Mead OF Rut.
land that the petition for a pardon il
the case of Eugene @. Sargood, now con-
fined at the state prison at Windsor, or
the charge of attempting to poison San
ford Hicks and Mrs. Hicks of Arlington
had been refused.
The case OF Sargood was one of the
most sensational ever tried in Benning,
ton county court. He was convicted OF
three offenses, for poisoning live stock
for attempting to cause the death oi
his neighbors, Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks by
the same means and for perjury. While
he was serving the sentence for his first
conviction he was brought here from
prison for his other trials. The min.
imum sentences in the three convictions
amounted to 1919 years All three cases
were appealed to the supreme court
which In May, 1906, confirmed the con.
victions in the two poisoning cases but
remanded the perjury case back to coun-
ty court for retrial.
This perjury case was never retired
and after Sargood had completed the
sentence OF 3B years for poisoning stock
an attempt was made to secure his
release on the ground that he was be.
ing illegally restrained His counsel
contended that the perjury conviction
followed that for poisoning stock, that
there had never been any final verdict
IN the second case and that his client
should therefore be released Arguments
were made before the United States dis
trict court by James X. Batchelder in
Sargood's behalf but this hearing wac
never completed.
The next step was an appeal for par
don to Governor G. f. Prouty, which
was heard at Windsor last September.
Governor Prouty retired from Office with
out any decision for or against the
prisoner
The refusal OF Governor Mead to
grant the petition for pardon viii prob
ably end the efforts to secure Sargood' S
release. At Windsor, Sargood has al.
ways had an excellent record as a pris-
oner. He has worked in the shops and
demonstrated not little mechanical
ability. Lately he has had charge of
the prison barber shop for the officials
and has done similar work for the pris.
oners.

MEXICO CITY DISTURBED.
Growing Fear of Failure of Efforts to
End the War

Mexico City, April Ignorant of the
character of the measures the govern
ment may be taking to effect an agree
ment of peace with the rebels, unoffi-
cial Mexico is inclined to be bit more
pessimistic Both. Mexcans and for
eigners, who long to see the end of the
revolution, hope still that the unofficial
negotiations begun at Washington by
Minister of Foreign Relations de Ia
Barra, on the eve Of his departure for
Mexico, and DR.. F. Vasquez Gomez, may
be continued, but there is growing fear
of failure
The news received yesterday after
noon that Francisco L. Madero, ir., had
moved his revolutionary headquarters to
San Andres and had tightened the lines
about the city of chihuahua, has had
the effect of producing pessimistic dis
cord. The government may yet be at
tempting to effect an agreement for
peace, but that such has not been con-
summated is natural assumption when
the silence of the departments is con-
sidered.
One report was that the government
had entered into an agreement that a
commission of three men should be
named by each aide to formulate terms
of peace, but at the department of for
eign relations no confirmation or denial
could be obtained. According to this re-
port, however, Gen. Juan Hernandez,
who has been in command of the forces
at Chihuahua, but who has been sup
planted by Gen. Lauro Villar, has been
named as the head of the governments
commission,
1t is said also that Gen. Garcia Cuel-
lar, who commanded the federals in the
battle of Casas Grandez, will be mem
Der of the commission.
