And Old Town Bridges.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and
Council, Friday, Oct. t8, at 10 A. M.

Almost two years have elapsed
since the first petition for the pardon
of Domenico Teti of Rockland was
filed with the Governor and Council.
This first petition was filed, Dec. 20,
1910 and the pardon will finally come
on for hearing at the meeting, Fri
day, of the Governor and Council.
1'eti is serving a life sentence in
tho State prison at Thomaston for kill
inc his fellow countryman Raphael
Conforto, in the Italian quarter at
Rockland, Jan. 10, 1907, during quar-
rel over a game of cards. Teti fled at
the time of the shooting and was after
wards apprehended by Sheriff Toll
man at Boston and brought back to
Rockland for trial. The case was car
ried to the law court, after the jury
had found Teti guilty but was dis
missed for want of prosecution. Later
it was restored to the docket and car
ried along to April >. 1909. when he
appeal was denied and April 81, 1909,
1eti was sentenced to serve the rest
of his life III prison
The petition for executive elemency
sets forth the following reasons why
the pardon should be granted: That
the petitioner is not SuHlN Oh iilut uti +,
that the person killed, Raphael Con-
forto, was his friend and the petition
er had no quarrel with the parties
present and no motive for assaulting
anyone; that the only parties who were
lighting the evening of the homicide
were Vito Florentino and Vic Month
sano, who had reyolvers and threaten
ed TO shoot one another; that if the
testimony of the State be all taken as
true the verdict should have been only
mansiaughter. but the court did not
instruct the jury that they would have
been justified in bringing any verdict
other than murder in the first degree;
that the jury would never have brought
in the verdict they did, had they be-
lieved that the court would have made
the sentence less than murder; for they
believed under the instructions of the
court that their verdict was the only
one that could be rendered in the case.
Hon. L. NJ. Staples, the counsel for
the petitioner, arrived in the city,
Thursday. in order to be in readiness
to argue the case. Friday.

BEFORE THE COURTS
But Massachusetts Meat Inspection
Act Not Yet Passed Upon.

As there have been rumors that the
new Massachusetts law relating to the
inspection of meats which are to be
shipped from other states to the Mas
sachusetts markets has been pro-
nounced by the supreme court of that
state as unconstitutional and void. Dr.
A. G. Young secretary OF the state
Board of Health of Maine, wrote TO
the secretary of the State Board oil
Health of Massachusetts in regard to
the matter. The reply is that the
question of the eonstitutionality of
this act has been submitted to the
court but that no opinion has yet been
handed down. il follows. therefore,
that the carcasses of animals slaught-
cred in this state for shipment to
Massachusetts must continue TO
be inspected and branded as the Mas
sachusetts law provides.
