(Copyright, 1910, by Walter P. McGuire.)
ST. PAUL, Minn, April JB.— John
Carter told his life story to a
Call correspondent this evening
immediately after he was liberated
from the Minnesota state penitentiary,
when he had returned to freedom in
body as in spirit, as he said in his
poem which he wrote yesterday in his
cell.
He told the story after what was his
longest day in prison, though he left
there at 5:20 p. m. The board of
pardons Saturday commuted his 10
year sentence to terminate today, the
prisoners twenty-fourth birthday.- He
had served 4 years and 10 months.
Waiting for Pardon
Carter, who had spent a sleepless
night, was expecting the receipt of
the commutation papers at an early
hour, but the time dragged on as it
had never dragged before when hour
after hour passed and the papers did
not come; The 3' had been given to
J. A. "Preus, secretary to the pardon
board and executive clerk to the
governor, but Preus . did not start
from the capitol until 1 o'clock. It
is an hour's ride by streetcar" to the
prison at Stilhvater.
After Preus arrived there were what
seemed to be an endless number of
formalities to be attended to, a^d
Carter, who then had donned a black
sack suit in place of the gray check
garb he had worn so long, waited.
There were no friends with him save
the warden, who has been a good one
to him, and several newspapermen he
had come to know quite well in the
last week since the outside world be
came interested in the young poet. The
warden wanted Preus to see the new
prison, which Is in course of construc
tion.
Again a Free Man
"Do you want to come along?" the
warden asked Carter. Did he, want to
go? Did he, who had not seen beyond
the prison walls for nearly five years,
want to go? He needed no second in
vitation. So the three got Into the
warden's automobile and they sped out
through the "strange, kind world," and
the sun smiled down upon him. The
new prison, however, interested him
less than it did Preus.
It was 6:20 p. m. when Carter, Preus
and two newspapermen boarded a car
for St. Paul. The hour's ride was
across rolling/ partly wooded country
in which the green early grass was
dotted by untimely snows along the
shores vof pretty lakes. Carter stood
on the rear platform of the car and
smoked and answered briefly what bis
inquisitive companion asked him. He
volunteered no comment.
Tells Story of His Life
• In ihe city he went first to the office
of former Judge John W. Willis, who
. worked so hard to get him free, but
the Judge had gone home to dinner.
\u25a0 so Carter, dined in a restaurant and
there told for the .first time the facts
of his eventfuljife, his. school days In
England, in college, in a London bank,
his journey to America . In search of
health, his unhappy experiences on a
Canadian farm, his unsuccessful search
for permanent employment in Winni
peg, his desperate experiment of bum
ming his. way to "the states," his crime
and the exciting events that followed,
his prison life and the development
of the talents that have distinguished
him. • \u25a0
"It's rather hard for me to look back
across the . years/ he \u25a0> said, "and re
trace events that seem so very, remote.
"Everything and everybody conspired
to force me Into drinking.* My father,
who died when I was 3, fwas" a
cashier; my grandfather, by whom
I was adopted, was a manager, as was
his father i>ef ore him. ' Nevertheless,
my education at a preparatory school
and at Weymouth college was classical

Prison Poet Tells
-Story of His Life
For the First Time
'John Carter,' whose real name
is- not known, hut who is said
to be the son o fa prominent lit
erary family -of England, was
sentenced to ten years in the
Minnesota penitentiary for, steal
ing $24. During his imprison
ment he wrote much poetry,
which the editors many east
ern publications eagerly accepted.
Eastern literary men not only
became interested in his verse but
became interested in his unfor
tunate predicament. Robert Un
derwood Johnson, editor of the
Century magazine, personally
wrote a letter to the state board
of pardons asking for a remis
sions of his sentence, not only on
account of the merit of his poetry,
but from the manly tone in which
his letters was couched. Others
joined Johnson in the appeal for
clemency, and on Saturday Car
ter was pardoned after having
served nearly five years in prison.
Every effort has * been made
to discover Carter's real name
and the identity df his family,
but thus far without success. To
day Carter tells his story to the
readers of The Call.

ALDRICH WILL
CAST OFF TOGA
AND RETIRE
Senator Declares That He; Will
Not Seek Re-election Be- •
cause of 111 Health
Scoffs at Suggestion That He
Has Been Driven to Private
Life by Criticism S/ \
WASHINGTON, April 18.— Senator
Aldrich authorized- the ' an
. nouncenient , tonight .that he
would positively retire at the* expira
tion of his present term on -March '3,
1911/ ' \u25a0 .• . .\u25a0 ' - '"\u25a0 \u25a0 ,V / ;
This announcement.w as made 'to. a
representative 'of the Associated ' Press*
who ,met the senator upon his return
to Washington from Rhode* Islands
where he had been in consultation -with
his political associates. > »
"I have decided not. to be a candi-'
date, again," said the ", Senator. r "Since
something of my plans have leaked out
already I would be glad to have you
make that statement. \u25a0 J; ; .
Determined to Retire
Aldrich talked freely of his deter
mination - to retire.-* 11l health alone
dictated his decision, he. said.' During
his services in the civil war he had a
long siege of typhoid fevef~ ; and as a
result of that illness he. has suffered
periodically, .with intestinal -trouble.
These . discomforts have \u25a0 manifested
themselves when he has. : worked par
ticularly . hard . and have ,' caused him
considerable ' worry.
: After talking the. situation over with
members of "his family' 'the '.senator
went to Rhode Island last -Friday -to
make the necessary arrangements., "He
wanted to confer with' his- republican
associates and .to insure a republican
succeeding him. ;-\u25a0 , . - ,
\u25a0 "And there is no doubt of the result,",
he said. "The party leaders have can
vassed the situation ajid a republican
will -take my place. -All of •: my asso
ciates in the state are. as confident as I
on that score." •
AldrichV Ambition
It is a well known fact 'it has been
the ambition of -Aldrich. to' crown "his
legislative career/.with- a thorough re
form of the currency. sS ; stem""bf-,the
government.' It was with . that end in
view that he :became the moving spirit
in the. national monetary commission.
"I would retire from congress with
the greatest reluctance if It we're not
for the thought that I can continue
with the national monetary commis
sion,"' said: the senator.
It was suggested the democrats may
carry the next house of " representa
tives. He said even In such event the
work of the. monetary commission
i would proceed just the same and he
felt i the democrats were just as .much
Interested in the subject as the repub
licans.
Friends Will, Intercede
It is expected that: tremendous pres
sure will be t exerted to Induce Aldrich
to change his mind, but It is certain^ it
will be without effect. His leadership
has been so bitterly attacked, espe
cially during and since the enactment
of the Payne- Aldrich tariff law, It will
be said in some quarters, that: he de
cided to leave -the- senate because of
this opposition.
"Have you considered; that phase of
the question?", he was asked.
. Aldrich laughed. . ."
"Oh, of course, some folk will say I
was forced out,", he" said, ''but I don't
think, any one who knows me will'be
lieve it." ' : *' '
In view of the hard fight Senator
Hale is having in Maine, where his re
election is opposed by Judge Powers'
rumors were, heard that 'he might: not
care to serve another term. Some of
his colleagues said .when Aldrich leaves
the senate Hale would riot want to stay!.
No confirmation" couid.be^ had. of these
rumors, however. His close friends
unite in: the declaration-he is not £the
man to retire/under fire.
When He Became Senator
PROVIDENCE, R.: 1., April 18.—Sena
tor Aldrich has held his seat In the sen
ate since 1881, when one of the iargu
merits.used against:. his; 'election was
that Jhe \ was too r young for Lhe ;of nee.'
He ; was then not quite 40. .
" Neither.' General ."-. Brayton .nor. any
