BEFORE PARDON BOARD.
Many Cases In Which Release From State
Prison is Sought.

Many Cases In Which Release From State
Prison is Sought.
The board of pardons began its session
today and has already heard the
arguments in several cases.
George Fremlin and Ernest Martin
are two young boys who strayed from
England to America to seek their
tune. They had not been America long
before they were led by gang of boys
into housebreaking expedition at Kir-
win. The boys admitted it and got three
years. They have served one year and
ask for commutatiOn to two. In their
petition to the board they say they
pleaded guilty at the instance of the
county attorney who promised" them
only twelve months each if they would.
VIM. FIey, 20-year- old Leavenworth
boy who broke into store and stole no.
tions, and is weak minded, has served
two of his three years and applied for a
pardon.
Samuel ]. Sully, who is 20 years old,
weak minded and has fits, was SEN
fenced to four years two years ago for
attempted assault in Leavenworth
He has served two and his petition for q
pardon has been signed by the judge
and jury that convicted him, and the
young woman in questian and her family
desire him freed. He now has fits, and
will likely get favorable recommends
tion from the board.
Joe Butts of Harvey county, who has
served four of six years for burglary,
and is twenty years old, would like to be
pardoned The plea shows that his COM
pany led him into evil ways.
Henry Tutwiler, who was sentenced
from Mcpherson county in 1885 for
murder In the first degree. and who WAS
refused pardon last February, has
made another application.
N. H. Wolf of Topeka, who was SEN
fenced to eighteen months for obtaining
money under false pretenses, has applied
for a pardon, but it will not likely be
acted on, as he will be out anyway in two
months.
George McCIain, who got seven years
last summer for perjury from Republic
county, prays for a pardon.
Monroe Campbell, who was sentenced
from Leavenworth in 1889 to twenty
years for murder in the second degree,
has again asked for a pardon. 1t was
once refused.

not to appear on the street or sit in the

Saloons were also notified to keep the
"bums" from lettering at their doors, and
also to allow no 'empties" to be seen
lying around.
Gambling houses were to keep a sharp
look out at the peep hole, and not allow
any evidence to appear that the law was
violated.
Wholesale liquor dealers were to de-

WHAT JUDGE HORTON THINKS.

Says the Police Boards Should Be
Abolished and Woman Should Vote.
Ex- Chief Justice Albert II. Horton,
who has been invited to address the state
temperance convention on the Fourth of
July, has announced that he will defend
Governor Morrill, on that occasion.
Judge Horton believes that Governor
Morrill, has made only one mistake in his
prohibition policy, and that was in ap-
pointing police commissioners in the
large cities. He reasons that the
metropolitan police>ss commission law
was enacted before women were
given municipal suffrage and when
the latter law was passed it was on the
theory that women would have purify
ing effect in municipal affairs. But they
have had little opportunity to exercise
their influence as the executive of the
state has applied the other law and taken
the police power out of the hands of the
local authorities.
Judge Horton believes the cities ought
to have home rule. SO that the full force
and value of women in local politics can
be felt. He will take this position before
the convention

Comrades Were They.

Two soldiers, who evidently had
a little change left in their clothes,
which they forgot to blow in on
pay day, took in the town last
night and got "paralyzed." They
seemed to enjoy it immensely, and
it was, John, I'll fill 'em up this
time" and "now, Bill, this is on
me-" They kept it up until they
couldn't navigate any more with
their load. They had enough sense
to keep out of the way of the po-
lice, however, and wound up in a
dark allev, where they lay, telling
each other how much they think
of one another, until they finally
yielded to the powers Of Morpheus
and snored until their jag had
vanished.
The police docket today does not
bear their cognomens.

Luger gun, three defects; Lee gun,
six; Miles gun, seven; Van Petten,
seven; Remington. No. l, nine
No. 2, eleven; burst, ten. All
others were thrown out or with
drawn. The defects in the Luger
gun were that the trigger pulled
before the breech bolt was COM
pletely locked, that there were no
indications Of emptying the maya
zine, and that a special tool was
required for dismounting the
magazine system. The board re-
ported that his gun was the best
known to them. Luger is said to
be working on plans for remedying
these defects, which give promise
Of success. The price offered for
the gun was not made public.
