them up once more to the level OF respect
ability. Yesterday some of the friends OF

tried to persuade him to show leniency in
the young mans case. He in reply stated
that Fisher must be prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. Tie young mans So

officer who void so wantonly prostitute his
official position. The case is now before
tho grand Jury. In the present state of
public opinion, nothing but sentence to
the penitentiafy will satisfy the citizens
