HID PRISON TERM
FROM AGED MOTHER
SECRET KEPT BY LITER FOR
TWENTY YEARS. FINALLY
LOCATED THROUGH RUSE.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-For twenty
years Martin Sweeney hid from his
old mother the fact that he was a
life-term convict in Sing Sing prison.
But mother love would not be denied
the truth. An advertisement that was
a blind trapped Sweeney and forced
him to tell the truth. Again mother
love asserted itself. The aged woman
enlisted sympathy for her son. The
Salvation Army helped. Governor
Smith signed a pardon and today
Sweeney is a free man.
Sweeney was one of the most IA
nous jockeys on the Pacific coast
thirty-five years ago. He gained fame
and made considerable money, and
then decided to try his fortune in the
East.
Fell Into Bad Company.
He came to New York and rode on
, local tracks during the summer of
1898. In the winter of that same
year he dTifted around Broadway
and the Tenderloin, finally bringing
up on the lower east side, where he
became pal and a crony of Abe
Coakley, Il noted craftsman and
gangster Of that day.
Sweeney never got into any par
ticular mischief until the night of
Dec. IL, 1898, when he went into
west side Eotel and asked the night
clerk, James Holcomb, for a room.
Holcomb replied that the hotel was
full. After an argument Sweeney
drew his revolver and killed the clerk.
He was arrested a few minutes later
by Chief of Police Devery, who
found him standing over the body of
the murdered man with pistol in
one hand. He was convicted of sec
ond degree murder and given a life
sentence in Sing Sing prison.
: The day before he went to prison
Sweeney wrote to his mother. He
wrote the sort of letter he had al
ways written, telling her nothing OF
his crime or the fact that he was to
pass the rest of his life behind prison
bars. But he did tell her that on ac-
count of the pressure of work and
other circumstances it might be a
long time before he wrote to her
again.
Then he was taken to Sing Sing
and for more than eighteen years no
word reached his mother or any of
his other relatives.
Meanwhile they had been inouiring
and searching for him, but without
! success. Only a few of the former
Jockeys old friends knew what had
become of him, and they had prom
lsed Sweeney to keep quiet about it..
Finally his sister hit upon the plan
of putting an advertisement in a
newspaper stating that Sweeney's
mother was dead and had left the
jockey fortune and asking Sweeney
to write to firm of lawyers.
Finally Tells Them the Truth.
Thinking his mother was dead and
the necessity for keeping his where
abouts secret no longer existed,
Sweeney answered the ADVERTISE
ment. But in reply he received a let
ter from his sister She told him that
the advertisement was a blind to get
him to answer and tell them where
he was, and that his mother was alive
and wanted to know why he was
writing letters from Sing Sing prison
Sweeney then wrote to his mother
and his sister and told them the whole
story,

The EYE GLASS TAX
IS HELD AS UNJUST
OPTOMETRISTS MAKE APPEAL
TO CONGRESS TO AID WEAR
Frs OF SPECTACLES.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The old
query of which comes first, the chick
en- or the egg, now has a new YER
sion, (which comes first, the lens or
the frame?" This modern reading of
the riddle has reference to spectacles
and eye glasses and is brought to at
tention by a letter written to Rep
resentative J. Hampton Moore by
Albert Fitch, president of the Phila-
delphia Society of Optometrists.
In his letter President Fitch asks
the congressman to do what he can
to relieve the eye glass-wearing pub
lie from what he believes to be an
unjust tax. According to his investi-
cation the revenue law works in such
a way that a woman can buy a pair
of pumps costing S10,' have them or
namented with gold or imitation gold
buckles costing So and pay a tax only
on the buckles. On the other hand,
some unfortunate individual finding
it necessary to have lenses costing
SO may have them fitted in a gold
filled frame costing So, but he or she
has to pay tax on $12, The pumps
pay tax of ten cents. The eye glass
es pay tax of sixty cents.
Mr.. Fitch maintains that the cases
are parallel, as the lenses are fitted
first and the question of frame is a
separate transaction. Mr.. Fitch says
that in appealing to Mr.. Moore he
does SO solely in the interest of the
eye glass-wearing public, which he
believes to be at least so per cent of
the total population.
