Manford Galway,
Skowhegan, Seeks
Pardon from Prison

Asserting that during his seven
years confinement at States prison
he has become converted to the
Christian religion. Manford Galway
Of Sokwhegan has just filed a petit
ton asking for his pardon from that
Institution. Hearing on the petition
will be assigned at the meeting of
the Governor and Council to be held
today.
In his petition. Mr.. Galway sets
forth that he is now confined at
States prison where he has been
since Oct. 8. 1917. for the crimes of
arson, escape from Jail and assault
upon the jailor in so doing: that at
the time Of his commitment of the
first crime he was employed as a
river driver, that he got into bad
habits and had been drinking with
others many kinds Of extracts. drugs,
essences and other substance con-
tanning alcohol: that under their in
fluence and not being accustomed
thereto, he became wild and insane,
knew not what he was doing and has
never had any recollection whatever
of what took place. and can give no
reason why he should have set any
buildings on fire as there was no
feeling on his part against the own
ers and no object in his so doing.
The petitioner further alleges that
when committed to Jail for the first
mentioned offense and regarded as a
hardened criminal. his foolish indig-
nation at what he regarded as I'M
just treatment made him for the time
being bitter against his captor and
caused him to conspire with others
to make the attempt to escape and
assault on the jailor: that he pleaded
guilty to the crimes charged. ex-
cepting only the motives which con-
trolled him. That was in the supreme
judicial court for Somerset county:
that he was sentenced by Justice
Bird respectively to not less than 1C
nor more than Is years for the first
offense. not less than three nor more
than seven years in the second case
and not less than ? IL years nor
more than five years in the matter
last mentioned.
He further declares that at the
time of his commitment he was 81
years Of age and his character not
fully formed and developed: that
since entering the prison he has be-
come converted to belief. and. as
he believes. to a constant practice in
the essentials of the Christian reli-
gion and feels confident that he has
given such evidence Of his changed
character as to win the respect and
confidence of the officers of the in
stitution. He states that his health
is now suffering from his seven
years Of confinement; that he feels
he has exceptional mechanical abil-
ity which will be Of great use to him
in making a LIVELIHOOD; that his ia
Their and mother are beginning to
need his assistance and that they
have stood by him loyalty since the
evidence of a change in his spirit and
character. and he desires to hereafter
to show his appreciation.
The attorney for the petitioner is

their capital to q fund to fight SEN
ator LaFollette in western states.
1t was established, however. that
the LaFollette movement had been
assailed at the convention and that
the association had departed from
its usual policy against taking part
in partisan politics by adopting a
resolution asserting that "a particu-
larly large and dangerous element OF
economic fallacy has been injected
into the present national political
campaign" .
Evidence regarding the extent of
the Republican campaign collection
organization was presented by
Charles u. Hilles, of New York, n
vice chairman of the Republican ma
tional committee. He testified that
from so to 10 committees within
businesses and professions had been
organized in New York City alone.
Thus far about $S5O.OO0 of the
$1,000 600 which the Republican
national committee has asked be
New York state Is in hand, Mr.. Hilles
told the committee.
Both Frank +. Walsh and Mr.. Inter
mycr sought to develop that the bulk
of the Republican funds came from
men In those industries protected" by
the Republican tariff, but Mr.. Hilles
insisted that persons in all lines OF en-
Geavor were given opportunity to con-
tribute and that the funds had come
from some 10000 persons
THE money comes from the country
generally" he said. Much more SO
than it did In the old days"
In this connection Mr.. Untermyer
submitted an analysis in the report OF
the Republican national committee on
contributions to last october 10 show
ing that S1.109,793 of the total collec-
ton Of $1,714.37S had come from 40
contributors.
Before Mr.. Hilles was excused he
was led into a long discussion of the
advantages held by the political party
having the largest campaign fund and
the necessity for collecting large
amounts in national elections.
II think the president could be elect
ed by the expenditure of about $1,000
OoO." Hilles said during the discus
sion.
"Then how do you Justify the rails
ing Of such large sumsy' Untermyer
asked.
Information as to rumors that $780,
600 Is being sent into Montana TO be
rectly from the senator himself in a
telegram to Frank =. Walsh.
MIR. Untermyer told the committee
that 100000 could be sent into Mon
tana and equal or larger sums into
other states without the knowledge of
the Republican organization officials.
Agreeing with this assertion. Senator
Borah said he hoped 1t would he pos
sible to run these rumors to earth and
get at the facts. adding that he knew
Senator Walsh would not have reported
them unless he had a good reason for
thinking such rumors existed
Besides the Republican state chair
men from New York, New Jersey, ILL
nois and Ohio, who are to be called ms
witnesses, the committee will examine
many other persons in this inquiry.
4 list of some IS witnesses Is now
being prepared by Mr.. Walsh and Mr.
Untermyer and this will be presented
to the committee tomorrow. Subpoenas
for them probably will go out within a
day or two.
