Former Governor Horace White believes the right of executive clemency In the various states of the union should vest with tribunals especially equipped, not with the governors. In reviewing his record of pardons, he says in a statement over his signa ture: "In my opinion, our governors should be relieved from the arduous duty of Investigating, considering and deciding applications for paidons, commutations, reprieves and restora tions to citizenship. The work and responsibility should be vested in tri bunals especially equipped by train ing and fitness to undertake this Im portant and laborious work. "It Is physically impossible for ary governor to perform his other con stitutional and statutory duties, hae opportunity for study and reflection on great public duties and at the I same time give application to this j line of work. The interests of a state require thorough scrutiny of, and jir J diclal action on. these application. Each year the need becomes more apparent from a moral, economical and sociological point of view " During his brief t?rm as governor only a month Mr. "White sas that out of S00 applications for pardons, he found not one which seemed to justify itself and that accordingly he issued no pardons and no reprieves. . rr JAMES HARAMAN'S DEEPEST REGRET Chicago, 111., Jan. 13 Accusing I friends of former days of treachery In connection with the looting of tho treasury of the Illinois Central rail load by car repair frauds, James T.

Jan. 13. Robert Cald well, the "great American affidavit maker," who figured as the principal witness In the famous Druce will case, Is dead here aftor an illness of nore than two yoars. He died in the city asylum for the Insane, to which he was admitted In 1909, suffering from an undefined mentaL and physical disease which many months ago left him a complete wreck without hopo of recovery. Caldwell will rank In history as the most remarkable figures in one of the greatest legal fighLs over waged in the English courts. Born in Ireland, In 1834, of parentage which he de clined to discuss, he went to Lon don when 19 years old, and, according to his own story, was for a time in the service of the Duke of Portland, an eccentric nobleman. He came to New York in 1871 and obtained employment with A. T. Stew art, the great drygoods merchant. His connection with Mr. Stewart brought him more publicity In after life, when he made affidavits setting forth that the body of Mr. Stewart had been, stolon by ghouls nnd also charging that Mr Stewart's will had been forged for the benefit of cer tain devisees. According to the alienists who havo been studying Caldwell's mental ec centricities, at Ward's island, for the past two years, he was affected with a "twist" of the brain, which made him veritably a second Baron Munch hauscn, differing only from that cele brated character in that he believed all the fictions of his brain, strange and impossible though -they were. He fwas queer In many respects, but pain fully punctilious as to the truth in the ordinary matters of life. Caldwell's last appearnnce In pub lic was In December, 1907. He had just been completely discredited at the last renewal of the Druce litiga tion In England, While the British authorities were arguing among them selves as to what steps to take against him, Caldwell slipped aawy from London and arrived unexpectedly In New -York City, tin Deceinbe'rTfirHe" was arrested Immediately on a war rant sworn out by (he British con sul charging him with wilful perjury In the Druce case, but on account of his broken physical condition the authori ties declined to allow his extradi tion and, after various vicissitudes, he was committed to the W.ird's island asylum. The story of the last Druce trial is still fresh in the public mind It was early in 1907 that George Holl amby Druce. a grandson of Thomas Charles -Druce, formerly owner of a bazaar In Banker street, London, be gan an action to oust Lord Howard do Walden from the property which his father had Inherited from the fifth Duke of Portland, through the sup posed failure of a direct line. The duke died in ISC-l when Caldwell was in London, and this fact, it appears, was responsible for the appearance of Caldwell in the suit as witness. In this action, Herbert Druce, a rel ative of the claimant, testified that ho was present at the funeral of Mrs. Druce and that he saw tho body in the coffin. George Ilollamby Druce thereupon caused the arrest of his kinsman for perjury and It was at the trial of this case in Londan in No vember, 1907, that Caldwell re-entered the arena with as remarkable a story a was ever told on the witness stand Caldwell testified that he knew both the duke and Druce, and that they were one and the same per son. He supplemented this sUirtllng statement with another to tho effect that when Druce was supposed to have died, his coffin was filled wtib lead and buried after a mock funeral. In which the duke himself participat ed He maintained that the duke, under the name of Druce, had married and had several children and that the clnlmant was n grandson. The Statement In regard to the coffin ha v. Ing been filled with lead was dis proved in 190S, when It was exhumed and the body identified 11 17 MRS.
