Phalr, an Iron worker, watt employed in tbe Lincoln Iron Foundry tn Rutlsnd, on May 20, 1874, and con tinned there until June 9. About the middle of May he was introrjn Ann E. Frieze, with whom be became very intimate. Oo the morning of June 0 fire destroyed the house occupied by Mrs. Frieze.

Her dead body was found In the rules, -bearing mark of wounds that in was declared, would have been fatal. It was ascertained tUt on June 10 a man signing himself on tbe register of tbe Adams House lo Boston as Smith, St, Albans, had pawned a shawl, an opera glass, and a ring in Boston, which articles were proved to be tbe property of Mrs. Frelze, Experts testified that tbe handwriting on that ot Pbalr, and the pawnborker Idem tilled blm a the peraon offering the articles. He was cooseqnetly arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced to be haueed on April t), 1877. On March 27, 1677, tbe Dartmouth College Glee Club went to Windsor, in which village Pnalr was confined, for the.

purpose ofglvlng a concert. The manager of the club was C. Carrigan, who then represented the Associated Press in that locality. He visited Phalr in prison and ascertained that the condemned man bad written a statement la relation to his whereabouts at the time of tbe murder, asserting, before God and man, his entire Innocence of the crime, tut which nhtglDjd It should until sf er Pbalr Was hansed. If It waa not published until after bis death, Phalr argued that be might be believed by some, and, as he said "If I can die by it, they will Barely-tblnk It of enough lev -portance at least to read It." Phalr afterward consented that tbe document might be printed In Boston on cne morning 01 toe aay on which he was to be hanged, as the newspaper contain-Ins it wonld not arrive In Kotland nntll 9 o'clock, the time set for tbe drop, and in Vergenoes not until 4 o'clock; and that It would arrive In Windsor at 1 o'clock, so that he would be able to see that hie statement had been treated In accordance wun ms stipulations.

In his statement, Phalr set forth that on June 6 he accompanied Ann Frieze to a circus, aod afterward going with her to her house, remained with her until 2 o'clock the next morning. This, he avert, was the last time he ever saw her. On Sunday, June 7, be drove to West Rnt land and on Monday be went by train te Brandon, expecting to meet a parson mere, remaining in toe village until toe evening. He returned to Rutland on the midnight train, west to his room in the Berwick House and slept till about 4 30 o'clock on Tuesday morning, June 9. At about that time be took the train for Boston, arriving there In the afternoon.

At 6 u'clock be started for Providence, and be describes in detail bis journey tbither, where he stayed, and his unsuccessful efforts to obtain work. On June 10 he returned to Boston, and he tells particularly of an Interview he had urlth a stranger on toe train, woo saia ne was igeo ine raanuueture or novelties oston. and was blrins scents for their sale, and who offered him a situation. In tbe afternoon he took the train tor Vermont and was arrested white on. It for ie murder of Ann Frieze.

One morn'na of April ft. 1877. the Boston Globe published Phatrs statement. It filled seven columns. TJnon tbe bulletin at the door was the an nouncement: "Vermont is to hang a man, to-day, who claims that be Is innocent," Marshall D.

Downloc. manager of the American Novelty Wonts, at 50 School street, Boston, seldom read the Globe at that time, but on the morning named his oQlce boy saw the Globe's bulletin and spoke of it. He was sent for a copy of the newspaper, and Mr. Downing sat down to read the statement. When he came to tbe dc-cflptlon 01 the ride Pbalr claimed to have taken between Provi dence and Boston 00 June 10, Mr.

Downing recognu-jd tbe description of himself and Uieaccoant of the conversation. He apran up saying "My God, they've get Mic iiuun mu luau innocent! Mr. Downing corroborated his recollection by his memorandum book, and satisfied himself that Phalr had ridden with blm on the day named, and could not hin gnii i of the crime of which be had been cm uted. B1 It wis 12 o'clcek and th con-derantdm-' wad to he hanged at f. Mr.

After prayers at his late residence, the procession proceeded to tbe cbnrch under the direction of Capt. A.

A. Walker. The services were conducted by Rev. D. E.

Adams of Aahburnbam, aes8ted by Rev. A. P. Marvin of Lancaster, and D. Crosby.

Tbe singing, under the direction of Col. George H. Barrett, was by Mrs. Klbllog, Mrs. Lltcb, Misses Barrett and Cook, asd Messrs.

Barrett, Rock-wood and Harris, M. B. Commlngs cfll elating as organist. The services were opened by prayer, after which "Nearer my God, to Thee," a hymn with Mr, Whii rendered by the choir Appropriate se-lecions of Scnp'ure jvere rcid by Mr. Adams and remark made bv Mr.

Crosby. Briefly reviewing the life of the deceased, tbe speaker traced his career as he himself bal watched it from a toy of sx years led by his sister to school, through the period of bis early life while obtaining a common school education and learning the carpenter's trade, as a workman, and overseer, and finally as the manager of a factory, until at last be had seen blm an honored and respected member of the community, serving his native town In nearly all tbe offices within Its gift, and afterwards repre senting his district lo both branches of tbe Legislature. Bis tducatlon, said Mr. Crosby, was obtained In the common schools, but it was his great regret in after life that he bad not bean able to educate himself more thoroughly. In bneloess he gained much practical knowledge which he added to his general education, making him thoroughly informed on all topics of importance.

Education and Mr. Whitney was an admit able exemplification of the fact. Hla connection with public business, With church matters, with remodellrg the church, and more especially wltb-Cusb-J tog Academy, was referred to with ap propriate suggestions. He was connected With the academy from its foundation and at all times too a deep interest in welfare. As a member of the build ing committee, he took an active part in its construction, devoting his whole time and energies to tbe work, and placing all who shall ever receive benefit from the Institution under obligation to him- Dur-ing is last slcknet be exclaimed, "Cashing Academy Is my Idol And Indeed It was; no one has labored longer and more earnestly for Its welfare.

May GoV. grant us many more such men who wllMake tbe fame Interest in its prosperity, guard Its honor as faithfully and as carefully maintain Its integrity. He was not without bis faults, neither Is any of us human ones. The sun has its spots, darkening in some degree Its otherwise radiant surface, but we are told that they even contribute to the earn of the benefits we are constantly receiving from Its light. He is gone; we shall see him no more; among the trustees of Cashing Academy, at tbe table of tbe Lord, in church, to the street; is Tact; every where be was wont to be seen, he will be missed.

Let the lesson of his life of honesty, frugality, Integrity and piety be taken home to us all, remembering that each one must be called to the same ac count and must be wedded to the Lord to live with him. Rev. A. P. Marvin, In behalf of the Board of Trustees of Cushion Academy, reviewed Mr.

Whitney's connection with that bodr; speaking of him as aman of sound Judgment and good sense, and at all times one of the most reliable advis ers cf the board. He was pleasant to meet, not only on account of his good personal qualities, but also on account of his good judgment and nice discrimina tion. Mr Marvin spoke very highly of Mr. Whitney's patient and conciliatory course under all circumstances The speaker atd he bad never heard Mr Whitney eay a single word In reference to any man that he could wish to recall, and that Is more than can be said of most men. Ills work remains with as, while he has (rone to that htaher world where he will find some good to do and where hl ard our own edilratlon will lo made complex.
