that most men who WELD a facile pen

and that the exteInporaneous speaker is
not always a literary success.
Seeal is a plumber and he did well In
the written examination before the Ex-
aiming Board of Plumbers for his GER
tifcate OF competency. But there were
seven other candidates who cid exactly

Against Fellow Convict.

Alexander A. Mayper. who is working
FOR the pardon of John Boehmau, now
serving life term in Sing Sing said yes
terday that he had written to Governor
Sulzer asking him to reconsider the de-
cision of Ex-Governor Dix. one Of whose
last acts as state executive was to deny
Boehmans application for release. Boeh-
man was convicted of killing two men In
1895.
Mr. Mayper said he expected some ac-
ton would be taken by the Governor
shortly. In his letter to the Governor Mr.
Mayper made mention of the allegation
that William X. Montgomery, the Hamil-
ton Bank looter. had used his influence
to keep Boehman from getting a pardon.
Boehman is said to have incurred Mont
gomery's enmty for refusing 10 give him
a certain kind OF shoe. Boehman told
Montgomery he couldn't grant his request.
as it would be violation OF the prison
rules But Montgomery. il is said. re-
membered this. and according TO Albert
T. Patrick who was recently pardoned,
boasted he would give 5000 to keep Boeh-
man in prison.
