son of Searsport, serving 5 to 10
years in State prison for assault.
Mr.. BuZzell said Nickcrson was
tried and convicted at Belfast. He is
6S years Of age. broken in health and
spirit. Brooded over matrimonial
troubles. but good man and neighbor,
and a victim Of circumstances.
The petition for pardon is unop-
posed. County Attorney r. ]. Morse
sent a letter expressing his belief
that sentiment of public asks for
pardon. The crime was on person of
one Marian Smith, aged 8 years. on
Aug. Z, 1919. Injury was slight. Her
parents now favor a pardon. I can
not oppose it.
Letters and afffdavits were present
ed in favor of a pardon from Hester
Brown, Belfast; Judge Clyde r.
Chapman. Belfast, who bound Nick
sister of Nickerson; and Charles A.
Smith, Belfast, father of Marian
Smith.
You have the case in a nut shell,
gentlemen" said Attorney Buzzell.
THE petitioner was victim of cir
cumstances. I think at least a con-
ditional pardon should be granted in
this case
ludweIl Howison Case
The petitioners for the pardon of
Ludwell l.. HowiSon of Portland,
who is serving a sentence of not less
than five nor more than 10 years in
the States prison at Thomaston, for
forgery. He was sentenced in the
superior court for Cumberland
county, June 9. 1919
The petitioner asked for a pardon
on the ground that he had been suf-
ficicntly punished. Howison was for
many years the confidential man of
Fred f. Richards.
Attorney CULVER read letter
from David E. Moulton, q Portland
attorney, in which the latter said
that there were extenuating circum-
stances in the case of Howison and
society would not suffer if he were
released
Attorney Gulliver said Howison
Is now 80 years old. None of the
banks which suffered from Howl
sons speculations are opposed to a
pardon. nor is it opposed by County
Attorney Robinson or the Richards
estate. Howison did not spend any
money in riotous living and his fam
lily were occupying a modest little
home on Vaughan street, Portland
Continuing. Attorney CULVER said
that Howison went to the county at
torpey and gave himself up.

four years in the States prison at
ThomaSton for breaking, entering
and larceny of $1,000 worth of goods
from the store of Thomas S. Pinkham
at Westmanland Plantation, March
Z, 1918. Hallett was committed to
the States prison Jan. 81, 1920.
Attorney Ingraham argued that if
Hallett were pardoned at this time of
the year he could operate his farm
and support his wife and children. He
believed that Hallett had been pun
lshed enough and restitution has
been made for the goods which were
taken.
NO appearance was made in the
pardon petition case of Thomas Null
hern of Portland. serving a 20-year
sentence in the States prison for
rape.

Chief game warden. Frank NJ. Per-
kins of Bradley. reports to the depart
ment of Inland Fisheries and Game
that he recently received request
from the residents of Lincoln to inves-
tigate the death of a moose on Malta
wiseote stream, Penobscot county. He
Investigated and found that the
moose had become entangled in the
telephone wire which runs along the
above mentioned stream. The poor
animal was dead when found. The
warden made further investigation
and found eight miles of such wire
running through the woods belonging
to different lumbermen.
This is not the first time that moose
have become entangled in low hang
ing wires in the Maine Wilderness.
Former Warden H. F. Stone, telephone
line inspector. two years ago had an
interesting experience near Dacey
dam on the trail to Mt. Katahdin. In
this instance a large portion of the
line was carried away by the moose
which had become entangled in it.
Mr.. Stone, upon investigation, found
the animal and after 1t had become en-
tangled around a tree, approached
sufficiently near to cut the wire and
the moose disappeared in the wilder
ness. dragging quite bit Of the tele-
phone line after it.

BROKER ORDERED TO REPAY $50.
900 TO OTTAWA MANS ESTATE

eral courts for having in his pos
session stolen government securities.
A few weeks ago judgment of
100000 was rendered against Worth
ington in the Cook county superior

entered into before Worthington was
nagged in a number Of federal in
quiries on charges of fraud. Joseph
Stout, former Ottawa man, was
named in connection with some of
Worthington deals, but latejr was
exonerated Of completely in any of
the crimes charged to Worthington.
After the superior court trial in
which the Trumbo claim was found
valid, the defendant was ordered to
return that sum to the executor of
OF his latest escapades the Chicago
Tribune this morning has this to
say of Worthington:
New indictments against John w
Worthington, the wolf of La Sale
street and Arthur NJ. Goldsmith of
New York, his alleged aid in ma
tionwide conspiracy for the disposal
of stolen war savings stamps, were
returned yesterday before Federal
Judge George A. Carpenter The
true bills charge the men with alter
ing. having in their possession, con-
cealing and conspiring with others
to alter the stolen government Sc
curities. The specific transaction
mentioned involves the sale of
stamps to A. c. Mcbride of Paw Paw,
