GIVE US TRANSFERS, ~ STATEN SLANDERS DEMAND OF CY * Costs More and Takes Longer | to Reach Richmond Than Other Boroughs. The people of Staten Island have @waizened to the benefits that would accrue to them if transfers were ex- tended from the municipal ferryboats to the Manhattan elevated lines, They want them and they are going after them. Costly bridges are maintained by the city for the benefit of the resi- Ments of Kings, Queens and the Bronx, #o that they may have free access to Manhattan. Richmond people pay *helr share of the deficit, but obtain No benefits, but when the people of Richmond Borough make a demand ————__ if p REDUCE THOSE DANGEROUS Terme sein oye pepe rear na HOW STATEN ISLAND PAYS AND WHAT IT DOESN'T GET.

I tave talked the transfer question over with many of my friends and have yet to hear one expres- sion against the idea, but on the contrary the hope is expressed that they will be granted by the city. I am in favor and will lend my personal efforts and the influence of my paper to accomplish the end sought.” EDWARD 8. GLEASON of Ross- ville, former private secretary to Com- missioner of Public Works“Lewis Nix- fom! on—I am absolutely for transfers. We are entitled to them at the hands of the city. We need improved trans- portation, I have a number of acres of land at Rossville, some of which is water front. I offered seven acres of this property to Hoe & Co. for their factory on a lease of 100 years if they paid the taxes. Woe needed the indus- try in our village. The Hoe people were agreeable until they found our transportation to be such that it made it impracticable for them to locate. My offer is still open to any firm that ‘wishes to take advantage of it. Tran: fers is one thing that will help us. HENRY J. BRENDGEN, general manager of the Rubsam & Horrmann Brewing Company—I am in favor of the transfer for various reasons. Prin- cipally, however, because it will bene- fit people now residing here and will be the means of increasing our popu- lation, which will enhance our realty values and bring general prosperity.

Man, Aged in Cell, Says He Was Victim of Woman's Infatuation for Others. (Special from @ Staff Correspondent of The Eve ming World.) TRENTON, N. J. July 16—That ever interesting fiction charact the man who ts falsely accused of @ crime, imprisoned for years on circumstantial evidence, and finally of some one who knew the real crim- inal, may be exemplified in actual fact if Charles T, Davenport, of this city, produces the document which he says has recently come into bis possession. Davenport, an exceptionally gaunt, bronzed man of fifty-five, with a stubble of white beard and eyes that peer intently from behind his spec- tacles, served seven years of a fifteen year sentence in Trenton State Prison, @ jury having decided that he was guilty of sending his daugh- ter, Josephine, a box of candy con- taining rat poison, in the effort to kil her, The girl survived the poisoning, but the circumstantial evidence against her father was strong enough to secure his convic- tion on July 16, 1906, and it was only two years ago that his model be- havior as @ prisoner won him a parole. SAYS SHE NAMED TWO MEN WHO SENT POISON. Now he says his wife, Laura, who died three weeks ago, left a written and witnessed confession, naming the two men who were actually gullty of the attempted crime. This confes- sion he intends to turn over to Thomas B, Madden, head keeper of the State Prison, for presentation to the State Board of Pardons at ite next meeting. “I want nothing less than a full pardon,” he said earnestly, when dis- cussing his case with a reporter from The Evening World to-day, “and this confession will win it for me, I have the confession under lock and key. It has been shown to two re- sponsible men in this city, men in whom I have confidence, and they advise me not to make it public un- til I have positively located the men named in it, When I am jure I can bring them to justice I shall let the confession be given to the world. “My wife committed suicide at Camden, June 25. How she did it I don't know. I didn’t ask. I was so glad to know that I would never see her again that I thought of nothing else, I had always known that it was she who planned to have me sent to prison, She wanted me out of the way so she could carry on witb those two men,” Davenport named the two men, one a painter in a small town In Penn- sylvania and the other a fireman on one of the boats running between Trenton and Philadelphia, but for ob- vious reasons these names must be withheld. “Shortly after my wife died,” Dav- enport went on, “I got a letter from a Mrs, Emma Tucker, of Camden, tell- ing me she had this confession. went down there last Saturday night and got it. It exonerates me com- pletely and names the two men; one of them bought the candy and the other sent it. Mrs, Tucker witnessed the confession, It tells what she wanted done with the two children she had after I was in prison, but 1 have refused absolutely to have any- thing to do with them. She never got any divorce trom me, but she lived with another man. whe tried to patch up the home again after I was re- leased, but I wouldn't have anything to do with her. “I got a letter from the parole of- ficer this week telling me I need not report to him any more, but he said he'd like @ letter from me once in a while, What I want, though, Is a full pardon, and I'm going to get it. Then when I bring these men to jus- tice some other people are golng to suffer.” Tho Davenport poisoning case cre- ated intense interest in New Jersey nine years ago, and there are still people who feel that the prisoner was not guilty. He and his wife, who was Laura Fanshaw daughter of Edward Fansaaw of Hightstown, eleven miles from Trenton, were married Jan, 31, 1895, at Emleystown, Mumms County, the bride being about nineteen yea: old then, She was fine looking woman according to all accouats and jum of years the couple got along most amica’ Then other men seem to hi entered her life, and it was in the spring of 1906 that the poisoned candy incident took place.

Crossley to building up a case, A piece of string, the same as that on the candy box, was found in Daven- port's room; handwriting experts said the writing on the box was Daven- port's; and he was alleged to have bought some candy like that which was poisoned. The motive ascribed at the time was an attempt to throw the blame on his wife as a matter of revenge for what he believed to be her unfaithfulness, but impartial per- sons to-day seem to be of the bellot that the sending of the candy was the act of an irrational man and had no sane motive. There are people in Trenton to-day who believe that Davenport was not well balanced mentally when he was said to have sent the candy, One of those is D. W. Smith, a storekeeper, at No. 87 Spring Street, Trenton, who adopted Davenport's younger daugh- ter, Adelaide, after her father was convicted. Miss Adelaide herself does not share this belief, and stoutly defended her father’s sanity when questioned at the Smith home yes- terday. She and her married sister seem quite loyal to their unfortunate father, as does also Davenport's father-in-law in Hightstown, Dav- enport and his daughters visited Mrs. Davenport's father there about two weeks ago, lockner, Road Super- County, on. whose lace at No. 1447 East Clinton Avenue, Javenport is now employed, is con- vinced of the paroled convict’s inno- cence. “I've known him for years, long be- foro this trouble,” he sald yesterda “and I signed several petitions to x him out of prison, Some folks say h is ‘queer,’ but he ‘enough i 5 Mr. Klockner confirmed Davenp assertion that he went to Camden lust Saturday night, or at least that Daven. port stated on returning about 11 o'clock that night that he had been to Camden since supper time.
