DYNES FREED AFTER 43 YEARS IN PRISON East Hartford Man Sentenced For Life For Murder of Station Agent Pardoned. Hartford, Dec. 15.—The second great crisis in the life of John Dynes of East Hartford took place at noon today, when he stepped from the door of the state prison at Wethersfield, crunched the snow beneath his feet and turned the eyes of a free man to the broad blue sky. The first momen- tous event was the robbery of an old station agent in East Hartford in 187 On each occasion a snowstorm the setting; for the death of the sta tion agent, for which Dynes was sen- tenced to prisen life, was caused by exposure in a heavy snowstorm after the robbery; and it was in the midst of the blizzard of Monday that Dynes received his pardon from the state board of pardo: after thirty-taree fu- tile petitions. At the time of his crime he was a boy of sixteen. Today after a life- years old. years. N As he shook hands with the warden and the clerk of prison, Dynes looked like the ordinary citizen of forty- five whom you see on the street. He wore a brown suit, brown overcoat buttoned up around the neck, and black cap pulled over the eyes: and he appeared to be conscious of no change from the prison dress. With him were his brother-in-law, George H. Stumpf, and his former school mas- ter and life long friend, Judge Percy F. Bryant of East Hartford. 'On he way to Hartford and hence to his old home. Dynes pointed out old land- marks, wondered at the evidence that the world had not stood still during t{he half century of his estrangement from it, and made a few observations on prison life. His eves sparkled with pleasure as he recognized old build- ings; but it was the quiet pleasure of a man who has forgotten how to be enthusiastic. Dynes has made no plans for the future just that he was going home for the present.

MUST TEST FIRE ALARM. Safety Board Decides to Have Every Box Tested Four Times a Year.
