GOV. LARRABEE INDICTED.
Polk County's Grand Jury Puts
the Screws on the Hawkeye
Executive,

Polk County's Grand Jury Puts
the Screws on the Hawkeye
Executive.
Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, Feb. 16.-The Polk
county grand jury to-day, by a vote OF
to l, returned an Indictment against
Gov. Larrabee for criminal libel. The
case is a peculiar one. Something over
three years ago youth named Chester
Turney was arrested at Preston, Jack
son county, charged with the theft of
several small items from residences and
stores in the village, mostly in the ma
ture of articles of food, wearing apparel
OF material to keep him warm, which
was carried to cave in the woods
where he made his abode. His step
father was worthless man and his
mother was ILL.,, so that when he was
placed upon trial on the fourteen in
dictments pending against him, he had
nothing but the lawyer appointed by
the court to counsel and advise him.
He was sentenced to seventeen years in
the penitentiary. When Mrs. Turney
recovered from her illness she began
the task of getting a pardon for her
boy. Gov. Larrabee was urged with a
good deal of persistence tOtake up the
case, but he refused. The mat
ter was laid before the committee
on pardon of the last leg
isIature but without avail. Mrs.
Turney still undaunted decided to
appeal to the public. She laid the case
before the Ministerial association of Des
Moines, which resulted in the appoint
| ment of a special committee to inyeSti-
I Thau lpniyaA n tho
records and the documents OH file in the
governors office, obtained the views of
reliable persons who were familiar with
+ the case, and decided unanimously that
|, an unconditional pardon was the only
means that would right the wrong OF
| Turney's imprisonment. But the gov
ernOr was obdurate and would do moth
ing. But Mrs. Turney continued the
agitation, going from town to town
speaking to the people and relying upon
charitable contributions to. defray her
expenses. Finally the press took the
matter up. This drove the governor to
make defense. which came in the
shape of pamphlet giving his view of
the case, and containing an extract from
a local paper in jackson county charg-
ing that Mrs. Turney had two husbands
living. This pamphlet was sent to
almost every prominent man IN iowa.
1t is this publication that laid the fOun-
dation for the Indictment. Mrs. Tur-
ney's first husband was killed while on
picket duty in the war of the rebellion,
and, although he appears upon the rolls
as among the missing, there can be no
question but that he was killed. Mrs.
Turney waited six or eight years after
his death before she married again.
When the pamphlet appeared Mrs. Tur-
rey and her friends felt that nothing
was left for them to do but to appeal to
the grand jury. The case was laid be-
fore that body about two weeks ago.
The governor was one of the witnesses
summoned, and, no doubt, admitted the
circulation of the charges complained
of. After fixing the matter thoroughly,
an Indictment was returned this morn
ng, and the warrant of arrest will be
eryed Monday.
