SACRAMENTO DAILY REcoRDUN1oN TUESDAY APRIL Il. 1896

Upon the principle that ''the truth
has deceived" it is evident that suffi-
cient inquiry is not employed to deter
mine the truth, and exact justice would
not subject all offenders to the same
rule, for the unnecessarily prolonged
detention of an honest man in prison,
for precedent alone, will discourage the
victim and form sooner than reform
other criminal characters. So, what am
l but burden to the taxpayer and a
mercenary fee to the politician? I must
abide in the statements of the prison
officers in substantiation of the question
OF my conduct, but my term, without
the credits, would expire this month, so
l will offer another reason which be-
lieve your excellency will find sufficient
ly plausible to guarantee the reduction
of that one year from my term. In
the reproof of chance lies the true proof
of man."
I have labored like a slave during my
confinement, but have not earned the
beans that feed me. Is it not more ridic-
ulous for a convict than any other man
to be employed at such idle labor after
so much as promise to adopt an honest
life, when it is certain that he would
soon suffer the reaction of his possible
deception, inevitable detection and a
more serious penalty?
In the meantime / have labored in the
construction of what / am faithfully
decided will be eventually considered to
be worthy ambition. I am accumu-
lating material in the form of a design
for the establishment of a penal colony,
upon socialistic principles, for the per-
manent banishment of offensive char
acters as the only possible means Of re-
ducing criminal numbers. That is, /
hope to present a plausible and practi-
cal idea to the people that will reveal
some new truths concerning the subject
of crime. AS Government enterprise,
penal colony will effect greater ben
eft than the Nicaragua Canal ever
would do.
A pardon, in the manner of the restor-
alton Of that one year, according to the
usual custom of discharge by the Good
win Act, would afford me some relief
from the stigma against my name, and
encourag cement in directions where I
would not be otherwise able to proceed.
I have a prior conviction to my dis
statistics will reveal the fact that those
who have served a second term are not
so liable to return as they were after a
first term.
I am thirty years of age, having
served eight years and ten months of
that time in prison. In the future
will obviate the recklessness that
brought me to prison. intend to leave
the United States soon after my re-
lease, and / fail to acknowledge any
good reason why it should not occur as
appropriately this April as next.
Therefore 1 appeal to your excel
lency, with the most considerate prom
ises as my only assurance, if 1 must not
abandon all prospects
To live, to strive better strife,
To war with falSehood to the knife,
And not to lose the good of life.
For these honest reasons, if your eX-
cellency will please to remove that one
superfiuous year from my term, God
knows that l will be forever practically
grateful for your wise decision

defended by Hiram w Johnson and J
W. Hughes, and on the other, should it
come to trial, his counsel will be Gen
eral Hart and Charles F. Gardner. Dis
trict Attorney Ryan appears for the
people.
The examination of talesmen indi-
Gates that the theory OF the defense will
be insanity. The prosecution expects to
present such conclusive testimony
against the prisoner that his conviction
will be certain.
The days session was consumed in Sc
curing jury, and the men who are to
determine the case are Robert Nichols.
George J. Bryte, c. C. Duhain, C. c.

called in the morning, and he had to be
sent for. His excuse was that when
notified by postal card that the Jury
would not be required last Tuesday he
got the impression, and was also told.
that the postponement was for a full
week
Judge Hinkson was not satisfied with
the explanation, and fined Hevener So
The Judge remarked that if all the iur-
ors had been equally careless as to
instructions received the business of
the court could not be conducted.

(No. 19,475-In Bank-Filed April IL
1860

William Stevens, respondent; Holman
ct al, appellants. Reformation and
foreclosure Of mortgage. Affirmed,
Temple, j., dissenting.
While married woman is not bound
by any Instrument not executed by her
in the manner prescribed by the statute,
when she has duly executed a contract,
however, there is no reason why she
does not bear the same relation to it,
and to rights and remedies under it, as
any other contractor.
Parties can contract as to their home
stead as fully as to any other land, pro-
vided their contract be executed in the
manner prescribed by statute.
When a conveyance, mortgage or
other contract of a married woman has
been duly executed by her as provided
by statute, it is subject to reformation
in like manner as the contract of any
other person. In such a case she has no
special license to insist upon a wrong
caused by fraud or mistake.
There is no difference between a de-
scription which does not include all the
property intended to be included and a
description which is defective in any
| other respect. In either instance an ac-
ton for reformation lies.

whether the property is community or
separate, and for this purpose is proper
as a declaration by the defendant even
conceding that the paper is to be re-
garded as an offer of compromise. The
declaration as to the community char
acter of the property is not essential to
the purposes of the compromise, and is.
therefore, not to be regarded as a con-
cession made for that purpose. While
it would not be competent to admit an
offer Of compromise. as such, the decla-
ration therein of facts involved in the

cessions made for the purpose of such

We the democrats of the United States, in
national convention assembled, do reaffirm
our allegiance to those great essential princi-
Piles of justice and liberty upon which our in
situations are founded, and which the demo-
cratic party has advocated from Jetfersons
time to our own-freedom of speech, freedom
of the press, freedom of conscience the pres
ervation of personal rights. the equality of
all citizens before the law and the faithful
observance of constitutional limitations.
During a II these years the democratic party
has resisted the tendency OF selfish interests
to the Capitalization of governmental power
and stolidly maintained the integrity of the
dual rights of government established by the
founders of this republic of republics.
Under its guidance and teac hing the great
phi. ciples of local self-government has found
Its best expression in the maintenance Of the
rights of the States and in its assertion of the
necessity of combining the general government

Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution of the United States guar

The Norfolk papers give an entertaining
) count of the meeting Of the Republican
: ate Committee there last week. 1t seems
rom the proceedings that though the COM
mlttee was called to arrange for the calling
&c district conventions. it went further and
sgally elected an Executive Committee,
something which aroused the protest of
such leaders as Gen. Edgar Allan, S. Brown
Allen, Judge Waddell, Stith Boiling and
others. 1t would seem that Col. Lamb has
produced about as much discord in his
party as any one man could, and is still on
the same track. The Democratic interest
in the matter is this; that after running a
campaign under such leader as the colonel
and going to inevitable defeat, the Repub-
hcans will have the same old explanation
