Crack Rider Spent 20 Years in Prison and Finally Pardoned Through Efforts of His Mother.

MARTIN SWEENEY was one of LF1 the most famous jockeys on the Pacific Coast 35 years ago. He gain ed fame, and considerable money, and then decided to try his fortune in the East. He came to New York and rode on local tracks during the sum- mer of 1898. In the winter of that year he drifted around Broadway and the Tenderloin, finally bringing up on the lower East Side. where he be- came a pal and a crony of Abe Coak- aey, a noted oracksman and gangster be that day.
 Sweeney never goc into any par 9tcular mischief until the night of Doo. IA, 1898, when he went into the Hotel Waverly, at Eighth avenue and 28th street. and asked the night clerk, James Holcrow, for a. room. HOlcrOw replied that the hotel was full. After an argument Sweeney drew his revolver and killed the clerk. He was arrested a few min Eltes later by Chief of Police Devery, who found him standing over the 7body of the murdered man with 8 pistol in one hand. He was convict ed of second degree murder, and given 8 life sentence in Sing Sing prison by Justice Fursn1an of. the su- preme court.
 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 Inis crime or the fact that he was to pass the rest of his life behind prison bars. But he did tell her that on hccount of the pressure of work and other circumstances 1t might be a dong time before he wrote to her again. Then he was taken to Sing Sing, and for more than IS years no Fword of him reached his mother or any of his other relatives. Mean while they had been inQuiring and searching for him, but without suc- cess Only Q. few of the former jock ey's old friends knew what had be- come of him, and they had promised Sweeney to keep quiet about 1t. 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 a fortune, and asking Sweeney to write to a firm of lawyers.
 Thinking his mother was dead and the necessity for keeping his where- abouts secret no longer existed, Sweeney answered the advertisement. But in reply he received a letter from glis sister. She told him that the ad- vertisenent was a blind to get him to answer and tell 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 sis ter and told them the whole story. The mother at once went to her sons old racing partner and his other friends of the old days on the tracks, and through them interested the Sal vation Army in Sweeney's case.
 Meanwhile laws had been passed under which Sweeney was entitled to & parole at the end of 20 years pro-

OMAR KHAYYAM STARTS YEAR
 WITH A BANG
Pimlico Meeting Opening Featured By Spectacular Victory of Famous Three Year Old.

Pinn1ico, Md, May 2-Omar Khay- yam today stands out as the most prominent figure at this track. True to the prediction of his owner and trainer he has been put to the test and come through it successfully and today horsemen gathered here are going a. step farther and predicting his best season.
 And all this comes about the result of Omar Khayyam's spectacu- Jar victory yesterday-the opening of the PimIico meeting-in grabbing the Rennert Handicap for three-year- yolds. It was his first appearance 'n the turf this season and he def'a a high class field in sensatioD~ SCyie- .Incidently it was the bes+ the renowned son of Marcr anu biSi,la has run in two year. | s+b fr en F-s ne sped home nearly.

 uyf the E'uturity in 1917, finished in third place.
 Only the first and last efurlongs of The mile could be seen by the spec 1ators, which crowded the big stand and the clubhouse. With the rain came a fog which obliterated the field as soon as 1t swung around the first turn until they were well into the homestretch. After long delay at the post because of the fractiousness of Papp the field went away to a good start Papp showed the most early speed and led around the first turn, followed closely by L'Errant with Omar Khayyam third. That was the last the crowd saw of them until the Held came spIashing out of the FoS at the final furlong post.
 At that point Commander Ross 6onirace and Papp were fighting it out stride for stride for the lead. But while they were utilizing their every ounce of speed and stamina Omar hhayyam was swinging along in third place with Jockey Hummer sitting stii in the saddle. As the crowd re- cognized the contestants and began to cheer for Its favorites Hummer gave the conqueror of August Belnont's dourlesa his head and the mighty Omar eprang forward as was his cus-

 His stride fairly ate up ground, and when the final sixteenth pole was reached he was in command. From then on to the judges Hummer kept him under a slight restraint and won the $1 600 purse without doing his best. Boniface ran remarkably good race and so did Papp. When MT. Lofts colt pulled up he showed signs of 1ameness. He had been kicked under the right shoulder at the post painfully if not seriously in- jured.
 Inc ovation which greeted Omar
 Khayyam was no more spontaneous ana sincere than that accorded Old
 Rosebud when he galloped home an i easy victor in the sixth event. OD- posing the Applebate entry were some
 high class sprinters, including Flags. the champion sprinter of last season ] but at no time during the six furlongs Journey was the old champion ex- tended. At the end he was half a dozen lengths ahead of Flags. Ihicn was a similar distance in front of Mrs Payne Whitney's imported Peter Piper.
 Previous to these two popular vic tories the crowd was treated to a sensational ride by Johnny Loftus on Samuel Riddles chestnut colt MT. BrummeL

Harry Payne Nhtney'S Panoply was in the race and he seemed much the best. hui Troxler on the Whitney colt was out generalled and outridden by .I1ortus and Panoply was compelled to accent second honors
 Three times during the run through the home-stretch it seemed as if MT. Brummel was beaten, but each time Loftus lifted his mount into com mand. Five jumps from the judges Panoply was a full neck in front. and seemed to be gaining with each stride. But under the vigorous handline of Loftus MT.
