HARD QUESTION TO DECIDE.
Lawyers Plead for'<the; Life of
Alfred C. Williams, CO SRI ac
The executive council, Governor Wol- cott presiding, gavea hearing last week
(Boston Herald.)
tharlottetown,
on the proposition of commutation of sentence of Alfred C, Williams, sentenced | to be hanged in Salem jail Oct. 7, for the murder of John Gallo ia Lynaofield, July 29, 1897. Charles A Sayward, of Ipswich, s¢nior counsel, made the opening plea. He presented a Jarge number of petitions. One which the Governor seemed to think 'the most important cited the prisoner’s | good character, and a belief that eilliams | did not intend murder, but larceny. To support this view it was stated that Wil- liams was{notarmed when he entered the house. It was sigued by Judge Harmon of the Essex probate court, W J Hale, registrar of deeds, and nearly all the Essex bar. Henry P. Moulton of Salem, who bas no interest in the case, except from the etudy
of the evidence after the trial, made a learned argumentof a technical nature.
Under Massachusetts law, he said, there are only threeclasses of murder punish ible with the death penalty—with malice afore- thought, or with extreme atrocity and crueliy, or in an attempt to commit a crime puoishable by death or imprisonment for life. There was no evidence ofthe first or second classes. Breaking into a house with intent to commit larceny is not a crime punishable by death or imprison~ ment for life. The evidence did no: show where Williams was for some dava betore the crime. Willams bore marks of a struggle. There was no other eyidence of ene. Williamshad no weapon and bad made no prepuration to commit a crime.
Henry F Hulbert said the young man stcod on the treshold of death without friends, and the Essex bar, practically without exception, had come forward to help him. He came simply as a matter of duty, without hope of reward. His brother lawyers, with himeelf, felt that the jury’s verdict was not founded on the evidence. The point made by his brother Moulton was not made in the trialand the Attor- ney~General will not deny its force
Attorney-General Knowlton, who came in late, said po man in Essex county or elsewhere wanted thisman hanged. There was no evidence. Gallo was an Italian who had accumulated in gold ard other money $100. Williams had the Klondike fever and only the money Gallo had stood be~ tween him and joiaing a party of friends for tbat pluce. He weat to Gallo’s house —his castle-in the night to get the money. There was a fight—and Italians can fight—but Williams overpowered Gale lo and he fell. To cover up the evidence of his crime Williams fired the - cottage. That is murder, whatever may be said of it. Murder does no* always come from a previous bad character. It comes from a temptation too strong to have a human life stand in the way.
The hearing closed and the councillors took the matter under advisement
They evidently found the question ex- tremely difficult to decide, and in conse quence tive members of the council visited Salem yesterday, arriving at3 p wm, and were atonce driven tothe jail. Williams was taken to the guard room, where the councillors bed a long taik with bim.
The result of their investigation will not be made known until they report at the meeting today.
Later it was announced that the Execu- tive Council bad voted against recommend ing the Commutation of the sentence of Alfred C Williams, the murderer, to im - prisonment for life. Councillors Sullivan and Atherton voted in favor of commuta- tion. Williams will consequently be bung.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—A New York paper remarks: “Eng- land furnishes the generals, but she en~ lists the Egyptians in Egypt, the Souda- nese inthe Soudan and the Sikhs and Goorkhas in India, and adds a few regi- ments of Britirb troops, just enough to drilland encourage them. Here is a lesson for us. We should begin as soon as possible to form regiments of Cabans in Cubaand Porto Ricans in Porto Rico.

The Montreal Gazette reports: At the Tara Hall meeting Mr W H Davidson, a very active Liberal, charged the Govern- ment organs, #uch as Le Soleil, with misre- presentation and said thatwhen they de- clared that prohibition would prevect the mass being celebrated, as there would be po wine, andthat the movement was in- troduced by Protestants, as a means of striking atthe Roman Catholice Church, they knew they were perjuring thems! ves, A very bitter feeling exiets in local G»v~ ernment circles over the s'and taken by the Government representatives from this district on the subject. “Is it wonderful that the Quebec majority was against pro~ hibition or that tbe defeated prohititionisis of Quebec are indulging bitter feeling.

Island correspondence addressed to
A JOKE ON THE TEAMSTER.
A good story is told of one of General Sherman's Missouri teamsters. He had just joined the service, a raw recruit, and was assigned the task of driving a six mule team. When the army halted for the first night, he was wearily un- harnessing hia team.
‘‘Hello there,’’ said the wag of the company in passing. ‘‘What do you pean by taking care of those mules rourself? Why don’t you have the hostler do it?’’
‘*Why, I thought every man had to take care of his own team,’’ said the bewildered teamster.
‘*You bet he doesn’t. We've got a hostler for that. There’s his tent right over there. He’s a lazy, contrary old cuss, and he may not want to do it, but you swear at him and he'll move off at double quick.’’
The Missourian strode over to the tent indicated, which happened to be General Sherman’s headquarters.
‘*Here, you son of a gun,’’ he roared fiercely, ‘‘get out of here and brush those mules.’’
Needless to say, the teamster spent the evening in the guardhouse.
A pious old Indiana farmer was as- signed to the duty of teaming, probably by mistake. The roads were muddy, and the rest of the teamsters were lit- erally bombarding their charges with oaths. It was against the old man’s principles to swear, and he held his peace, albeit in impotent rage. At last one of the hind mules balked and re- fused to advance a step. The old man used every endeavor to urge the beast along, but tono purpose. At last he roared in a loud and solemn voice: **Oh, Lord, you know where this mule ought to be as wellas anybody. This whole army knows where he ought to be this minute. He knows where he ought to be. I know where he ought to be, oh, Lord, and if he doesn’t move in a minute I intend to say so, by gum.’’ —Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Perfectly Cured
Weak and Low Spirited — Nervous Prostration—Appetite Poor and Could Not Rest.
**T take great pleasure in recommending Hood’s Sarsaparilia to others. It hes been the means of restoring my wife to good health. She was stricken down with an attack of nervous prostration. She suf- fered with headaches and her nerves were under severe strain. She became very low spirited and so weak she could only do a little work without resting. Her appetite was poor, and being so weak she could not get the proper rest at night. She decided to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as we had heard it highly praised, and I am giad to state thet Hood’s Sarsaparilla has perfectly cured all her ailments.” G.
