Albany, y. V. May S-Charles F.
Stielow, whose execution for double
murder in Orleans county in 1915 was
three times stayed by executive and court
orders and whose death sentence was later
commuted to Imprisonment for life, was
to-day declared not guilty of the crime
by a special commissioner appointed by
Governor whitman to make investigation.
Governor Whitman announced that he
had commuteh the life sentence of Stelow
and also the sentence of Nelson l. Green.
a brother-in-law Of Stielow, who also was
implicated in the case and who was sem
fenced to serve term Of twenty years
in prison. Both men will be given their
freedom within few days. Stielow is
now imprisoned at Sing Sing and Green at
Auburn prison.
George II. Bond of Syracuse, who at
the request of Governor Whitman was
appointed a special deputy attorney-gen-
eral for the purpose of conducting the
investigation, reported that he was fully
convinced that Charles L. Phelps and
Margaret Wolcott, the two persons slain.
did not meet their death at the hands of
either Stielow or Green, nor did they
have guilty knowledge of the crime. On
the other hand. the special Investigator
reported that he was strongly convinced
that the fatal bullets were fired by Clar-
ence +. O'Connel1, a convict at Auburn
prison, and that Erwin King. who had
previously confessed and later repudi-
ated the confession, aided him in the
commission of the murder.

MURDER VICTIM BURIED
Assa!lnnt Of Aged John q. Hobart 1.
Still mt Liberty

Montpelier, May 2.-The funeral of John
@. Hobart, who was murdered in his
home in Middlescx Monday night, took
place at the Unitarian Church at two
O'Clock Thursday afternoon, the Rev. L..
C. Carson officiating. The bearers were
George Miles, Gilbert Miles. Eli Good
enough. ID. p. Sawyer, Charles Reed and
c. T.. Weir. The body was buried in the
village cemetery in the lot adjoining the
home of the elderly man.
TIE officers have accomplished but little
ss to locating the murderer. They have
followed many clews and suggestions
made by many people as to who might
have desired to have caused the old mans
death. but Thursday afternoon they
stated there was nothing to publish in the
matter. pr. Il. H. Stone is preparing his
renort as TO this contents of the stomach
of Mr.. Hobart and this afternoon had not
made his report to the officers.
The opinion seems to grow that the man
who killed Hobart simply hit him on the
head when he came to the door not in
terd,pe 10 kill him, but expecting to
"nut him out" until no had accomplished
the robbery.
The actions of two men the night of
the robbery have been given considerable
a,t.ntion. One Of the three men who
ware arrested. namely John Swetzer, has
been released from Jail, the suspicion
against him having been removed.

men have been moving forward since the
winter passed and eased the shipping and
embarkation situation.
There have been repeated official an
nouncements that the government is bend
ing every energy to rushing men across to
back up the allied lines in France and
officers directly in charge Of the trans
portation have expressed satisfaction
with the progress being made. There
is no doubt that the present force Of
American troops there represents only a
small part Of the total strength that will
be available for employment by General
Foch before the summer fighting ends.
There are indications, too that the war
department has adhered strictly to It's
policy Of equipping fully before his de-
parture every man sent across. That is
the first consideration in checking off
supplies of clothing and arms. Mr.. Ba-
ker's recent study of the whole ordnance
program was founded on his desire to see
just what the situation was in this slow
est element Of the war preparations.
The effect Of Mr.. Bakers announce
ment in Germany and Austria. if it is
allowed to reach those countries. will
be watched with interest. There Is little
doubt that the German general staff
has known that some hundreds of thou
, sands Of men have been sent across by
| the United States, but the size OF the
force has been carefully Kept from the
| rank and file Of the German army as; well
| as from the civilian population. = )
Secretary Bakers conclusions as to
machine guns follow on the heels of pessI-
+. mistics statement by members of Con-
gress in this regard. In the discussion
of the production OF Browning machine
guns contracts for other types both here
and abroad apparently have been lost
| sight of. These contracts preceded the
| placing of orders for the Brownings and
| that supply was designed to meet the
emergency until the new gun was avail
| able in quantities.
! The present practice of brigading Amer
| lean units with French and British
divisions, it is pointed out, makes the
| artillery questions less pressing as an
immediate Independent supply.
| The allied divisions to which the Amer
| leans are assigned already have the artil-
lery necessary and the fact that Ameri-
can infantry is added to them does not
mean a proportionate increase In guns
1t is man power that is being supplied
by the new arrangement and additional
gun power will be necessary only when
independent American divisions or army
| corps are formed.
