Worm of Extension Rod Lost in a 24-Inch Main. Continued Krom the First Page. To Ex-Senator William Turtle and Charle J. Giddings of Pittsfield and Great Barrlnjrton the pardon of Huber was joyous news, as they had worked unceasingly In behalf of the man whom they had defended In the Berkshire county superior court, in order to bring about his release. George Huber will spend Christmas with his aged mother in Brooklyn, and Hattie will spend the festive season wit his reunited fami'y in East Boston.

Huber will walk out of prison at this morning. The circumstances surrounding the killing of his young wife by a husband who always has maintained that he loved her were the most extenuating that have ever been brought to the attention of the criminal courts of Massachusetts. Huber freely admitted his guilt at the time of the tragedy, but publip sentiment, despite his admissions and the testimony of eye witnesses, was not altogether hostile -to him. Huber was 31 years old and his wife 21 at the time the tragedy. The killing of Mrs Huber occurred at 11 o'clock Sunday morning.

Sept 14, 1902, as she was emerging from Hubert Smith's house in Monterey, in company with a New Yorker named Andrew C. Fearing with whom she had run away, and two companions. The deserted husband had followed his unfaithful wife from Brooklyn to Monterey to secure an interview, hoping that he could prevail upon her to return to him. The fact that the party-were laughing and apparently enjoying a joke infuriated Huber, and rushing up from behind he cried: "What are you doing here, Gertrude?" Some angry words passed between Fearing and-Huber and the latter drew a revolver and began shooting. uT RIGHT1.

L. SPEIDEL NEW 17 RY FORT, Dec 21 In trying: to free a stoppage in the 2 4 -inch sewer main on Merrimac st today, workmen lost the worm from the end of an extension rod after it had been inserted nearly 400 feet. Supt Johnston called for a volunteer to g-o after the lost tool, and John Herlihy, better known as McGuinness, offered his services.

The man worked his way into the 24-inch main after manholes at Board-man and Strong sts had been opened to gain a. circulation of air and to remove the deadly sewer gas. It was a case of crawl, but Herlihy accomplished the feat and returned to the manhole with the missing tool, after having been in the limited quarters 45 minutes. Once before Herlihy succeeded in squirming his way through an 18-inch sewer pipe, going from Woodland st to Butler st, a distance of about 500 feet. When the sewers were being constructed on Summit pi, Herlihy nearly lost his life by being buried in a trench when ope side caved In.

Democratic politicians last night said that they believed that the withdrawal of Gaston would cause a split in the democratic legislative ranks that would help Lodge and, that although Col Gaston had withdrawn from the contest they look to 'see quite a number of members of the legislature voting for him for senator. 1 Mr Foss trotted out another new candidate for senator last night. He said that he had been told that Moorfleld Storey had been discussed seriously by the anti Lodge republicans as a candidate for the place and that in his opinion Mr Storey would make an Ideal candidate for democrats and progressive republicans to unite on.

Both Mrs Lunt and Dr Parsons were of decided nervous temperament, and some years after Mr Lunt's death Dr Parsons, during a fit of insanity, dove headforemost down a deep well to his death. The family broke up after this, the Montis going home to Italy and Mrs Lunt and her daughter, known to everybody as Fannie, going to New York city to live. While there Miss Lunt, who was reckoned a belle, became infatuated with Daulby, the so-called count, and despite the protests of her mother she married him, and shortly after they returned here to live, taking the Seaver house on Central si. Daulby was an accomplished musician, and this, with his stories of castles abroad, undoubtedly charmed the sentimental young Francesca. stories of family troubles crept out, and Mrs Lunt told friends she was treated very roughly by Daulby, but said her daughter was very kind to her.

Sbortly after the Daulbys' first child was born Mrs Lunt became more and more Irrational, although she was about the village every day. and one council.

Ran Away to Marry. It was in 1897 that Huber, then a shirtwaist maker of New York, earning a good salary and apparently of good habits, "met the girl whom he killed five years later. She was the daughter of Rudolph Rentel, a enndy manufacturer In Brooklyn, 17 years old, and unusually pretty. They met at a tier-man Sunday school excursion and alter a few months' courtship Huber asked Rentel for the hand of his daughter. Permission to marry was withheld by the parents.

Since her residence abroad the "countess" has made several flying trips to America, coming to Scltuate to visit her half-sister, Mrs Marlon G.

At these times she met many former friends and renewci pleasant acquaintances, and those who knew her here are slow to believe she has any participation in her husband's alleged SCHOONER CURTIS SAVED. Battis Denied the Charge, On the witness' stand Battis denied he had askod that the bills be raised. He declared that if any money was paid out of the city treasury beyond the actual cost of the cups he did not get it, and did not know who did. He said he merely told the clerks how many cups wefe required and he trusted to their honesty to make the proper charge.

The matter was discovered by the finance commission earlyt in 1909, and the two clerk3 were witnesses. With Battis, Ex-Councilman McCullough and James T. Cassidy were indicted for larceny, during the term of the late district attorney, John B. Moran. The cases of all three men were tried twice.

The first trial of Battis began March IS, 1909, before Chief Justice Aiken and laiited five days. The jury disagreed after delibeiating 94 hours. The second trial began before Judge Schoflelcl, May 25, 1909, and was given to the jury May 27. After an all-night session the jury returned a verdict of guilty. Battis was sentenced by Judge SchoHeld.

At the same time McCullough and Cassidy, who were found guilty of conspiracy to cheat the city out of 9200 for a set of Massachusetts reports which were to be placed in the president's room of the common council in city hall, were also sentenced, McCullough for two years and Cassidy one year. Both are now at liberty. Battis was born in East Boston and represented ward 1 in the common council In 1899, 1900 and 1901. In 1903 and 190 he was a member of the house of representatives and was elected to the board of aldermen In 1906 and 1907. In all his trials and afflictions Mrs Battis and the two sons, Floyd and Roy, have shared in sorrow the troubles of the husband and father, and his home-coming was a joyous occasion for them.

On leaving the house of correction Mr Battis was rowed across the gut to Point Shirley. Here a closed carriage was waiting with three friends and the party depve to Fast Boston. The carriage reached his home at 112 White st shortly before6 o'clock. The greetings at the home over, Mr Battis spent the evening with the members of his family. Floyd Battis said last night that his father was glad to be home again and his mother and brother were Just as happy to have him once more with them.

Flovd SSttis said the family had decided that his father should not see callers last evening. DON'T DARE, SAYS MAYOR. Fitzgerald Says Democrats Who Vote for Lodge Will Sign PoliJIcal Death Warrants.

Beforjvthe adjournment could be 'declared Maltre Bernard was on his feet again and read a letter signed by the Duke de Choiseul prptesting against the use by Mr Paine's widow of the title of Duchess de Choiseul Praslin.

The prosecutor read a similar telegram. Both came from a cousin of Mrs Paine's present husband. That cousin claims the title of Duke de Choiseul. In his letter he asserts that the former Mrs Paine is only entitled to be called the Duchess de Praslin, and that her husband has no right to the title of Duke de Choiseul. The hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

It ic expected that Mrs Daulby will be r.galn on the witness stand. The general impression here is that her t.ighly combative attitude has injured her husband's chances as well as her own. The Duchess de Choiseul Praslin also probably will testify tomorrow. Her husband Is here with her. The trial probably will last the rest of the week.

Witnesses "Unfortunately Dead." Earlier in the day the "count" was further interrogated by the court. His defence, so far as indicated, is that in filling the galleries of Mrs Paine's home in the avenue Bois de Boulogne with works of art and stocking the cellar with wines he acted in good faith as the confidential agent of Mrs Paine, an office which came to him as the result of jxrsonal friendship. He declared that he never claimed that the pictures sold to the Palnes were genuine masterpieces, but had allowed them to be authenticated by American experts and by American newspapers, which had suggested that the works in question be exhibited at the Metropolitan museum in New York citvi He added that even the late E. H. Harrlman had been Interested In his 'offerings and had manifested a desire to deal with him.

paulby said that among the New York experts who had praised his pictures was the late Henry Gurdon Marquand. who was president of the Metropolitan museum and who, the witness said, was especially delighted over his Correggio's "Sommeil d'Antilope," for which Mr Paine had paid 18000. This Daulby claimed was the original, the picture in the Louvre being, he asserted, the "oopy. Countess' Fortune $164,000. Subsequently, when pinned down, the defendant admitted amid the hilarity of the spectators that the only other experts who had passed upon his wares were "Unfortunately also The accused insisted that he had received a letter from Paine, just before he sailed for America and shortly prior to his death In Boston "following the sensational letter Incident," reaffirming the writer's option to buy the pictures for fOOO.000.

Growing excited, Daulby shouted: "Those who say that he never wrote this letter are liars." Judge Roberta interposed: "What do you call yourself?" "An honest man," fairly shrieked Daulby In reply. i Questioned regarding his financial re sources at the time that he met his wife. Daulby admitted that when he married Miss Francesca Lunt his bride brought htm approximately $164,000.
