IT would seem as though there were no
crimes so great but that persons can be
found willing to sign their names tossI pc
tition for the pardon of u criminal.
About three years ago a man named
Doyle was arrested in Chicago, in whose
travelling bag was found a bundle con-
tanning over 100000 in counterfeit
bonds so cleverly executed that only the
most minute inspection revealed their
character. Now a number Of people have
united in petitioniug the president 10 re,
lease this man Doyle, who is now in Sc,
cluslon at Joliet penitentiary serving
out his twelve-year sentence. The coun-
terfeit was such dangerous one and the
amount so large, that Doyle deserved all
he got, and more; yet respectable people
now join in the attempt to practically
nullify the law in the case of man who,
had he been at liberty, would have i'm
posed on the good faith of both the gov =
eminent and the people themselves Par
dons. like vetoes, are intended to be used
only in extreme cases, and the release of
a notorious criminal on whatsoever
grounds cannot fail to encourage other
criminals.
