EFFORTS TO SECURE REPRIEVE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON* July 30. M. Herriot has written to Mr. Henderson, appealing for the life of Vaquier, convicted for the murder of the hotelkeeper Jones. Petitions for his reprieve are being opened. Mr. Ben Turner, M.P., writing in the Daily Herald, says: “The doubts and dangers surrounding the case make me urge the Home Secretary not to hang Vaquier." The Daily Herald, supporting the appeal, affirms that in the neighborhood where the crime was committed there is a widespread belief that the whole of the facts were undisclosed, and em.phasises the Frenchman’s disadvantage in his defence, owing to his ignorance of tlie language.
