prison sentence was recently COM
muted by President Taft, left the army
hospital at Fort Mcpherson this
morning. He was brought to a down.
tewn hotel, where he will stay until
he is able to be moved elsewhere. 1t

and sister, Miss Jennie Morse He
was conveyed from the military

physicians. thought his removal from
the hospital where he spent so long a
time after his transfer from the fed
eral penitentiary would aid his inn
provement. For the first time in more
than two years the noted prisoner IS
from under the eye OF government
ofacials. The most of that time he
spent in the penitentiary. About two
months ago he was taken to the mill
tRry hospital Since his freedom was
given two weeks ago, he has remained
at the hospital, too i'll to be moved,
