release from the State prison through
Executive clemency has won such gen
eral approval. The young man expresses
his deep gratitude for the pardon ana
promise. to repay the debt by leading a

Mr.. Maurice Meyer, the lawyer who
defended Scanlon, also writes a let,cIi ,
the Governor and says Of the pardon.
at is another instance which proves to
the community that you are always
ready to take up III" cause of the in
jured and oppressed
Gov. Flower is known to be a man OF
generous heart and warm Gympath!es.
and this praise must be pleasant to him.
But how much more gratifying 1t would
be to be told that his readiness to take
up the cause Of the injured and OPP
pressed was made evident by the fact
that he had driven from power with II
strong hand the tyrant who has tortured
helpless young cOnvicts by paidlings and
kicks. by confinement in dark dungeons,
chained to a bar which prevented them
from rising from the floor even into II
sitting position II dragging them from
their cells with hot iron hooks.
How much to his credit it would be
to know that he had done this despite
the cajolings and threats ami intriEues
of powerful political bosses and self
interested milionaires.

permit 1t to be said that he is capable
Of yielding the powers and duties of his
