Commutation ef the Death Sentence of Frederick Barber. ‘THE PRESIDENT ACTS UPON THE CARE TODAT— HOW THE PRISONER RECEIVED THE NRWS AND WRAT EE Hap TO SAY--THE CRIME FOR WICK BE WAS SENTENCED TO BE RANORD. } The President this morning commuted the | death sentence in the case of Frederick Barber | to imprisonment for life. He indorsed the ap- plication for pardon in this case as follows: “Lam not satisfied to let this man suffer death as the case is presented. The sentence is commuted to imprisonment for life at hard labor in the penitentiary at Albany, N.Y.” NOW BARDER RECEIVED THE XEWS. The news of the commutation was broken to | Barber by jail officials. His attorney, Lawyer Fergureon, arrived a little later with further de- | tails of the joyfal event. Barber is reported to have gone into a spasm of delight and to | have demoustrated his glee by laughter and the | clapping of his hands. ‘® reporter of Tak Stan called “Fred,” which is the way the guards address him. | ‘as summoned to the iron grating of the cor- | Tidor into which his cell opens. i His ‘was in strong contrast to that | of the scores of hie follow tered around or clung to am a the bars. Barber was highly pleased. His countenance | was asolid expanse of smile, and he shook the re- | Porter's hand violently. He was loquaciousand | Poured out a torrent of words desc-iptive of the Wrongfulnews of his conviction; the perjury of Lee, on whose testimony mainly the verdict of | guilty had been rendered. } HE PROTESTED MIB INNOCENCE. He sard he had been sentenced to dic for a crime that had never been committed. The | drowning was either accidental or suicide, and | that the man who bid sworn that / he had seen him (Barber) throw the woman | into the canal was in bed and asicep at the time | the drowning occurred. He did not speak of these thin; was too full of joy and mental relief to feel bitterness. He said ho had been in jail ove four yearsand had passed a quiet time save for th anxiety and mental unrest which had been his lot. His praise of bix keepers amounted al most to endearing remarks and affectionate ut- | Hie said that they bad served him inevery way within their power. He knew! that but for his commutation he would have lived but one more day. That was all ope | now, and he looked forward to a long life of | happiness. | ie would always think of the warden and the guards with thoughts of love. At noon he ate | one of the biggest dinners of his life, and put a Power of vim and relish into the eating. PREPARATIONS MADE FOR THE EXECUTION. Preparations for the execution had been completed. The scaffold had been inspected e | al and the iron weight attached to the | beam of the drop, The manilla hemp | rope bad been procured from Baltimore, | atretohed by having a 150-pound sandbag fastened to it and the noose bad been formed. | The long barred windows that admit light to that part of the jail in which hangings occur had been curtained with black cambric. The condemned man had been informed of these preparations and was apparently re- signed. : WHAT WARDEN BURKE SAID. The warden said that a “still small voice” had whispered to him that Fred would not hang. He was giad the case resulted in this He did not believe that Fred was guilty of the crime of which he was convicted. He was a patient and docile fellow, bad never | given his keepers the slightest cause for com- plaint and was liked by them all. His death would have been regretted. Barber's Crime. On Saturday night, June 23, 1887, Agnes Watson was drowned in the canal. and it was | near ending his lifeon the scaffold. He had been living with Agnes, but in the course of human events *his love for her was transferred to Celia Mahoney, another | girl, much better looking than Agnes. Jeal- | ousy on the part of Agnes led her to follow the | man whom she loved, and she also made violent | threats. These threats were not directed | against Frederick Barber, but they contemplated | self-destruction. Tl drown myself.” | alleged homicide she fol- lowed him to the house of Celia Mahoney. Barber and Agnes at that time resided east of Rock creek in what was known as “Whitechapel.” They went over 10 Georgetown and at tho | house of Celia Makoney they engaged in a fight. | Later in the evening a splash was heard in the | canal, and still later the lifeless body of Agnes Watson was taken from the water. | INDICTED FOR MURDER, Barber was arrested and indicted for murder. | He had nejther money nor friends, and tho | court assigned Messrs, Fergusson and Cabill to defend him and Policeman Frank Burrows was detailed to assist the defense. For five years they have labored hard and expended considerable money in_ their offorts to save their client from the scaffold. At the first trial of the case counsel took the case to the General Term on a de- fective indictment, the egal document | charging that Agnes was thrown in the canal and = “mortally” drowned. — That was the only reference to death and it was on that ground that a new trial was granted, The defense labored under the disadvantage of the death of their principal witness, a boy named La Rue, who had heard the woman's threat and had said that the man was some distance from her wheu she went into the canal, A SECOND TRIAL. A second trial was had, but again the verdict was against the prisoner, and he was sentenced todeath. During the five years he has spent in jail the date of his execution has been fixed several times. In the application for pardon the district attorney would recommend ng leniency, would the judge, and it was r after an earnest pleading with the Presi- dent today by Mr. Fergusson and the officer that the President came to the conclu- sion which giaddened the heart of at least one man and lifted a burden from his counsel. THE CASE OF GEN. CARR. Has the President a Right to Ketire Him Without His Consent? The case of Brig. Gen. Eugene Carr is excit- ing special interest in army circles just at present, ns it raises the question of the right of the President to retire an officer without hie consent. Gen. Carr was appointed to his present rank # year ago, and will retire by operation of aw next year. It is said that he was appointed with the understanding that he should retire voluntarily before the 4th of next March, in order to give an opportunity for the appointment of a younger officer in his place. On January 81 Maj. Gen. Schofield recom- mended that Gen. Carr be retired and that Col. W. P.

John W, Foster, Secretary of State: Sir: Today the undersigned and Capt Wiltee of the Boston are compelled to assume a grave responsibility. The inclosed copies of official notes will explain the reasons which have led to this action on our part. I have time before the departure of the mail steamer only to state bricfly the additional reasons which caused us to assume temporary rotectorate of these islands. The provie- jongl government must have time to organize a new police and to discipline a smalb military force. When the moharchy died by its own hand there was no military force in the islands but the royal guard of about seventy-five natives, not in effective force equal to twenty American soldiers. These were promptly discharged by the provisional government, except sixteen left as the guard of the fallen queen at her house. The white men here, as well as the natives, have not heen much’ ac- eustomed to the use of arms. There are scarcely any men familiar with military dis- cipline. Companies are now being organized and drilled. They must have a few weeks for drill, Only a small foree of a few hun- [dred will be required. but these must be disciplined men So far the provisional government has been sustained by the uprising and union of the business wer and best ‘citizens. Bankers, merchants, clerks, professional men, respectable mechanics have stood manfully by the new government and kept guard by night. This hind of defense mast give place to a small reliable military force. Time is the necessity of the new government. There are 40,000 Chinese and Japanese on the islands, and evil-disposed persons might stir some them to disorder. jut the chief elements of evil are in Honotulu, where are the renegade whites at the head of » connidera- ble number of hoodlum foreigners and the more vicious of the native Another important reason for our action is the possibility of the arrival bere of a British war vessel, and that the English minister here thus aided might try to press unduly the pro- Vistonal government. With the islands under our protection, we think the English minister will not attempt to insist that bis goverament has the right to interfere while our flag is over the government building. This ts all I have time to write before the departure |of the mail, We shall continue to main- | tain our present position with great caution and firmness until we hear from the President through the Secretary of Btate. As @ necessary precaution against all contingeu- cies I advise that Admiral Skerrett be promptly sent here with one or two ships in addition to the Boston. I am, sir, &c., Jouy L. Srevens. MR, STEVENS TO CAPTAIN WHLTSE. Usitep States Leaariox, Hoxowvrv, February I, 1898. Sir: The provisional government of the Ha- waiian Islands having duly and officially ex- pressed to the undersigned the fear that anid government may be unable to protect lige and property and to prevent civil disorder in Honolulu, the — capital of said Hawaiian Islands, request that the flag of the United States may be raised for the pro- tection of the Hawaiian Islands, and to that end confer on the United States, through the undersigned, freedom of occupation of the public buildings of the Hawaiian government and the soil of the Hawaiian Islands, so far as muy be necessary for the exercise of such pro- tection, but not interfering with the adminis- tration of the public affairs by «nid provisional government.
