Pardon Wanted for a Murderer.
From the Wilkesbarrc Newsdealer.
District Attorney Foil has received a
letter from Joseph U. Wilson, of tho
Philadelphia Bulletin , calling his atten
tion to the case of a man named Thomas
Campbell, who was convicted of murder
in this city twenty-one years ago and
now hopes to he pardoned and be allow
ed to spend' his few remaining days out
side of prison walls. Campbell is serv
ing a lifo sentence for the killing of
Mlchnql McNulty, 00 years old, in Car
bondalo, on July 4, 1870. Tho prisoner
was but 20 years old at the time and
was under the influence of liquor, and
when provoked by the other, fired one

shot from u revolver which caused Mc-
Nulty's death.
At that time Carbondalo was a part
of Luzerne county and the prisoner was
tried before Judge Harding. Campbell
was tried and convicted twice and was
sentenced to death byOudgo Harding on
September is, 1577.
.Judge Woodward, then a practicing
young attorney, and the late, Montgom
ery Flanagan, at that time a candidate
for congress on the labor ticket, used
their influence with the governor and
had Campbell's sentence commuted to
life imprisonment.
Campbell, on the night of the murder,
was seated on the porch of a neighbor
taking to two girls. McNulty passed
and made some remark. Campbell im
mediately shot him. Tho young man
bore his victim no malice and his act
was* the .hasty anger of an intoxicated
man.
On July 21 Campbell will have served
twenty-one years In jail, having spent
fifteen months in tho county prison be
fore lie was sent to the penitentiary.
Mr. Wilson asks for the recorjJa of the
trial and will make an effort to have
the man pardoned. Tho district attor
ney will assist him.
The convict lias been a qidet and or
derly prisoner and still keenly feels the
sting of remorse. He cannot talk of the
occurrence of twenty-one years ago
without showing emotion.

Stubbing Affray at Duryea.
Duryoa, in tho upper end of this coun
ty, comes to the front again with a sen
sation. This time it is a stubbing affray
that may cost two men their lives. The
trouble arouse over Peter Dapkon's
escorting a young woman home from a
christening. Simon Walkalis, a suitor
for tho hand of the young woman, ob
jected and pursued the couple. While
returning home Dapken was met by
Walkalis. Without any warning* it is
charged, Walkalis sprang at Dapken and
plunged a large knife Into ids left side,
severing the lung. Dapken uttered a
piercing shriek of pain and sank to the
ground. The cry brought a large mini
ber of inmates of tho house to tin; scene,
and a free fight ensued extending into a
saloon close by.
In the fracas Frank Watztsewitz, one
of the guests, was badly injured by be
ing stabbed in several places. The keen
edge of the knife almost sovered the
left arm, while his face and shoulder are
horribly mutilated. His injuries will
probably prove fatal.
After being struck Dapken was carried
in the house and a doctor summoned. He
found him In a sinking condition. Dap
ken could give no reason for tho foul
attack, and said he had never had trouble
with Walkalis. He had accompanied
tho woman to her home merely for a
walk, and was not aware that Wilkalis
had more than a passing acquaintance
with her. The doctor is of the opinion
tip: man will die.
Immediately after the crime Walkalis
made his escape, but later wijs captured
and placed in the county jail.

ANOTHER PROPOSITION.
Lurßo Bicycle Factory Will Loo.tp If
Proper Inducement* Are Given.
The principal business at the Board
of Trade meeting last evening was tho
consideration of a communication from
tho Central Cycle Manufacturing Com
pany, of Indianapolis, Ind., the manu
facturers of the well known Bcn-Hur
bicycles. The company's plant now
occupies 43,000 square feet of floor space,
but as tliis area is not sufficent for their
needs and as t heir lease on tho premises
expires on October 1, this year, they \
have concluded to remove farther East,
and are open to offers from all towns
that cau accommodate their extensive
works.
The plant employs 300 skilled adult
workmen and the annual pay roll aver
ages $70,000. The present value of the
concern is conservatively estimated at
$150,000. In their new location, where
over it will lie. the company will require
75,000 squft.ro feet of floor space, and
will consider all other inducements that
may be offered.
The members of tho Board of Trade
felt that the bringing of such a plant to
town would bo something worth trying ]
for, and the secretary was instructed to
inform the company that Freeland would
offer them a free site for their buildings,
largo enough to accommodate their re
quirements, and would procure them
exemption from local taxes for at least
ten years. The secretary was also
authorized to answer all the questions
asked about the cost of fuel, water sup
ply, labor, size and population of the
town, etc.
