properly convicted after fair and impartial
trial. The Jury found that you Ind neetllessly
maltreated the old woman whom you took into
custody on the afternoon Of Thanksgiving
Day. Sho is an old woman fully w years OF
age and eccentric. But that did not justify
you in using the violence that you used
toward her. Whom police officer exceeds his

and brutal. he deserves punishment. Indeed.

In view OF your previous good character
