WORKING FOR a PARDON.
Friends of Bank Wrecser Mosher Schenl
ing for His Release.

ing for His Release.
LINCOLN, Neb., March 10.-The
friends of Charles w. Mosher, the Cap
ital National bank wrecker. are MAX.
Ing an effort to secure his pardon
The corridors of the federal iding
have been haunted for several days
with certain attorneys who have asked
Scip Dundy to allow them to look over
the Mosher indictment Recently sev.
eral open letters have appeared in the
Lincoln papers favoring executive elem
ency for the bank wrecker and seeking
to placate the depositors of the Capital
National bank by stating that the
downfall of that institution was due
to unfortuna te speculations and heavy
losses on the penitentiary contract.
The rumor has become current around
the federal building that this was sim
ply a portion of prearranged program
to secure a presidential pardon for
Champagne Charley The news of a
well organized movement to secure the
desired document has been kept in
strict secrecy, but it has leaked out. A
gentleman of prominence, who is not
addicted to the habit of chatting
through his cbapeau, said yesterday
Mosher would be pardoned within two
years. 1t is evident that Mosher does
not anticipate a speedy release from
Sioux Falls. A van load of furniture
was sent there the other day, billed to
his address. Whether he contemplates
fitting up his apartments in the pen in
luxurious style or whether his family
will remove there is still a matter of
conjecture.

vide sufficient revenue TO meet the re.
quirments of the government without
the additional amount which the levy or

this fact there is no longer any excuse
