He made connections with fur houses there and began to develop the business in Canada. Later his operations spread over the Canadian and the United States Northwest and Mr. Astor came back to make his home in New Vork. His lino of trading posts extended from ocean to ocean and a line of ships followed to carry the business to China and other oriental countries.

Governor Eugene Talmadge saved them from lifo terms with pardons. Out into the bright sunshino of an April morning, the two men stepped with tho well-wishes of prison officers who asked iShat they be pardoned, and with tho admonition of the governor that they "go in peace and sin no more." It was five years to the day they began serving sentences of more than 100 years each. Pardons for tho two men wore announced a few days ago by Governor Talmadge, who said they had no incentive to do right with such long sentences hanging over thorn, and tha,t their robberios had netted them only a few hundred dollars and that the men were not killers. The governor said also that^ bankers \,<ho "beat widows and orphans" had.'!escaped with lesser sentences or none at all. - . . . . Mt.
