Parole Granted for Manslaughter Ties to Cummins Death
Richard Jenkins, serving ten years for manslaughter in Jefferson County, was paroled by the Board of Penitentiary Managers for involvement in the beating death of James Cummins at Round Corner. Moses Chivers, initially convicted of manslaughter in the same case, had been paroled weeks earlier after labor-backed advocacy. The two men had faced first degree murder charges. Chivers received twelve years after a manslaughter plea. Jenkins had entered the penitentiary April 25, 1906, and will be released today after nearly two years served, while Chivers returned home following his release. Additional paroles granted include William Thomas, Henry Dena, Lucas, Albert Harris, Franklin, and John Beadle for various offenses.

The Noiseless Gun Idea Supposed by Maxim
The 39 year old Brooklyn native and MIT graduate Maxim, now in Hartford's automobile trade, proposes a motor muffler tied to firearms. If rebuffed by the U S, he may take the concept to England. The muffler would render guns inaudible, altering warfare and possibly prompting a Hague Conference ruling.
