conditional pardon to Audubon s.
Wilson of Wilton, who is serving a
sentence of Is years in the state
prison at Thomaston for manslaughter
in causing the death of Gideon O..
Chase. The meeting although compar-
ativeiy short was busy one and much
routine business was transacted.
Wilson, who was granted the con-
ditional pardon, was indicted at the
September term of the supreme Judi
cial court at Pennington in 1911 for
manslaughter. Wilson's wife was the
daughter of Mrs. Chase by former
marriage.
The Meeting
The meeting was called to order at
4.05 p. M. by Fred S. Kinsman, chair
man of the Council. The pardon hear
ing was the first business of the meet
ing and the case was presented by
Frank w. Butler of Farminton, who
appeared in place of Joseph C. Hol-
man of Pennington, the attorney who
defended Wilson at the trial. Mr.. Hoi-
man was unable to be present on ac-
count of illness. Briefly Mr.. Butler
summed up the case and produced
witnesses, who testified to the previ-
GUS good behavior of Wilson.
Mr.. Pratt. the first Witness a neigh
Dor of Wilson at Wilton, stated that
the release of the prisoner would re-
lieve his family, consisting of a wife
and four children, who while Wilson
has been in Jail. have been living up
on the charity of friends and neigh
bors.
The case was then reviewed by Cy-
rus w. Blanchard, who was the eoun-
ty attorney at the time of the trial.
Mr.. Blanchard stated that on the night
before May 80. 1911. Chase had just
beaten his wife severely. fight en-
sued between Mr.. Chase Mr.. Wilson
and Frank Colburn and in the mixup
Wilson shot Chase. He stated that the
general opinion was that Colburn was
more to blame than Wilson but this
could not be proved for Wilson held
the revolver and pleaded guilty to
manslaughter. He also spoke of the
family dependent upon Wilson
Mr.. Small. sheriff of Franklin coun-
ty, spoke in behalf Of the prisoner,
recommending a conditional pardon
The present county attorney of Frank
lin county, Mr.. Morrison, spoke for
Wilson, stating that in his opinion he
should be- granted a conditional par
don.
Mr.. Butler then read letters from
former Attorney General William r.
Pattangall, Eugene V. Allen, chaplain
at the States prison at Thomaston,
and one from warden at the prison,
all stating that the prisoner was de-
serving of a pardon. And a petition
signed by the majority of the citizens
of Wilton was then filed with the
Council, the petitioners asking that
Wilson be conditionally released.
The Governor and Council then went
into executive session and granted the
conditional pardon to the prisoner.

An Easy Way to Get
!. Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on dragging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy goods; rubbing
on useless flesh creams or follow

stunt, while the real cause of thin
ness goes untouched. You cannot
get fat until your digestive tract as
Stimulates the food YOU eat.
Thanks to a remarkable new scien-
tifice discovery, it is now possible TO
combine into Simple fern the very
elements needed by the digestive Or
gans to help them convert food into

stroke of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the great

structive powers to coax the stomach
and intestines to Literally soak up the
fattenings elements of your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to every starved, broken
down cell and. tissue of your body.
You can readily picture the result
when this amazing transformation has
taken place and" you notice how your
cheeks fill out, hollows about your
neck, shoulders and bust disappear

Gus dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles it should not be taken by

consecutive nights to large and en-

liked away back then, and today, al
though there are silver threads in

was then, and if he should live a hum

TING TREES.

Through his attorney, James A.
Smiser, Mann Dawson has filed an in
junction bill in the chancery court to
restrain John D. Fleming, of Column
bia, from cutting trees on his place.
The complainant charges that he had
an agreement with the defendant TO
cut sixty-five trees of white oak. tim
Der from his farm. However, he as
serts that he has cut several other
trees and wants to cut more. He
asked that the court restrain the de-
PENDANT from such action.
Judge Turner after reading and
hearing the bill, granted the injunc-
ton.
Both of the parties to the bill are
prominent citizens. The suit seems
to have arisen from a mistake in an
oral contract that was made between
them as to the cutting of fthe trees.
