more than $500 in their attempted re-
moval of the wall separating the two
sections of the building. The attack
on the Parker hall wall came as
surprise to the college officials, as
/, well as to the wall. The burning of
the gymnasium was not surprise to
anybody. 1t was an antiquated
building, and every season brought
renewed suggestions that it would
make a good bonfire. But the Park
err hall affair hasn't blown over as

molition stirred them to action and

Chapman. originally sentenced TO

in order to seek a new trial. his
efforts in that direction failed. Gov.
Trumbull has indicated that second
reprieve will be granted as result
of the habeas corpus proceedings.
Chapman is taking an active part
in his fight for life. In arguments
before Judge Thomas it was said
that flaw in the original writ upon
which Chapman was brought TO this
State TO stand trial was discovered
by Cha pman himself. Defense coun-
sci said the writ was served on
Henry K w. Scott, State Warden.
rather than upon Scott in his capac-
ity as a Federal agent.
May Pardon Robber.
The possibility of a presidential
pardon for Chapman, as far as the
mail robbery is concerned. in order
that he may be executed. is under
considera tion at Washington.
Attorney General Sargent is in
clined to the belief that a pardon IS
necessary in order To give the State
jurisdiction.
The case was discussed by Mr..
Sargent yesterday with Hugh Al
corn, States attorney. and George
". Cohen, assistant Federal attor-
nev for Connecticut. Mr.. Sargent later
called on President Coolidge.
The defense contends Chapman
could refuse a pardon.
