Hearing on the petition for the par
don of Mrs. Grace T.. Royce occupied
the greater part of the time of the

meeting Wednesday morning in the
Council chamber The petition was
tabled until the next meeting as the
Governor and Councillors desire to
talk with Mrs. Royce before action is

Royce stated that her daughter, Grace,
gave the child carbolic acid, thinking
that it was cologne. Mr. Sprague III
presenting his case. read notes which
he had received from the petitioner re-
lating the circumstances of the child's
death.

the chair. Mrs. Royce's daughter Grace
was then called upon and testified that
she put what she thought was cologne
on the baby's clothing but not in the
baby's mouth. She said that Steve Nor
ris, at whose house Mrs. Royce aid
worked, put the poison in the baby's
mouth and Immediately left the house.

ed that her mother had kept house for
Mr. Norris two years and a half be-
fore she was married to MIR. Royce.

from Mrs. Royce, was then called to
testify. He stated facts that seemed
to prove that the child was iligetimate,
and said that he was working in Gardi-
ner at the time the child was born. He
spoke of Mrs. Royce as very tender
and affectionate mother. He testified
that he did not know of the child
birth until after the child died
Counsel for the petitioner, Franklin
p. Sprague. Esq, then read letters
which ne had received from Mrs.
Royce, in which she stated that TO be
separated from her children was just
killing her. and that she could not
endure it much longer
County Attorney Fisher stated that
after fair trial the woman had been
convicted of manslauglIter and that
the jury which convicted her had all
the evidence, while the Governor and

Mr. Sprague then pleaded with the
Governor and Council that the petition
be granted. In his opinion the fact
that the mother cried after the baby
had been killed was enough to prove
that the mother was not guilty of muir

for years he used to retire in summer to the pic
turesque little village of Etretat, on the Normandy
coast there to breast the and wander about
the chalk cliffs and gaze forth, from cogn of

he met with single adventure, which has been
told in print, and putting premature end
to his mortal career.
At point of the coast vast natural arch nearly
one hundred feet in height is formed by flying butress
at right angles to the general line of the cliffs which

Harvey, with a grin of keen appreciation. @You are

@Daredo You ask who dared?" cried shril feminine

THE next day was hardly afoot before Harvey
startled out Of deep sumber by long, piercing shreks.
Pulling his scattered clothing, the manager darted
in the direction of the menagee tent whence the sounds
issuing, and entered. Before the lion cage was

"Aftermat

Prof. William Addison Hervey, of Columbia University, author of After math' Q play that has toured the country with tremendous success. has woven into this story all the threads and webs of metropolitan life. He has made the cobble stones of the city's streets tell their tales of tragedy and joy. He has personified the city. with it's yellow lights and yellow hearts, it's gold and greed, it's mockery and mirth. Virginia Pearson, one of the foremost younger actresses of the American stage. and Owen Moore, the noted film actor, assume the leading roles, and the production is mounted with the usual elaborate and adequate methods of the Famous Players.
 The story weaves a romance about two souls who meet on common ground, on the verge of despair Their com- mon sorrows awaken a responsive chord in the heart of each, and to- gether they struggle back to new starting point
 The action is physical and emotional, as well as psychological, and the splen- did cast fully interprets the powerful

The House Next Door" has been treated so well in the magazine reviews and in the current publica tions devoted to New York theatrical successes, that it is hardly possible to say anything new of the story. It deals with a ques- tion that is confronting the great American melting pot every day, the blending of the Hebrew and Gentle re- ligions in the marriages that are the outgrowth of the Jewish prominence in economic and national affairs "The House Next Door" when it was offered at the Cohan and Harris treater was a sensation in New York and it gains rather than looses in the telling on the screen.
