While, in State pris on ho did contract work for tho Stato and earned tho amount claimed. The bill was opposed by Mr. Williams of Newport as vicious legislation, and by Mr. Martin of Hrookllne, who urged that if this bill was allowed it would open tho door t hundreds ot other similar claimants who havo been un justly confined by tho State. The most effective Brooch In favor of tho bill was by Mr. Hots of St. Jolmsbury who, In five minutes, demonstrated to the House that the Stato was not asked to pay this man anything or give him anything except money ho had earned which was now In the possession of tho State. The House, however, refused to order the bill to a third reading.
