Washington Post: Senator Mills has a
new story about Lincoln II was told 20
him by son of John l., Helm, of Ken
lucky who lives In corsIcana:
"old John l.. Helm" said the senator
was u famous character In Kentucky.
He was, if remember rightly, a COVER
nor OF the state, but at any rate his posi-
ton was most prominent one, When
the civil war came on Helm was rabid
secesslorist. He could not praise the
south too highly, and could not heap
enough abuse upon the north. He was
TOO old to so into the war with his sons
and remained at home, doing all he could
to help the Confederate cause and harass
the Yankees who invaded the state,
Finally ne became so obsterperous that
the federal general who was In command
near Helm home pu: him in prison, The
old mans age, the high position which he
occupied In the state, his wide connec-
ton. and especially his inability Ia do
any harm, We're all pleaded In his extern
uation and he was released. Instead o.
proG,ng by he warning, the old man be-
came more persistent than ever in his
course. Once more he was clapped in
jail, This happened two or three dimes,
and finally, while he was stu locked up,
the matter was brought to the attention
of the federal authorities Even Presl
dent Lincoln was appealed to, and asked
TO commit the ardent southerner to an In.
definite confinement In order that he
might be cprbed
Lincoln listened to the statement OF
the case with more than usual interest
Then he leaned back and began to spsaE
with a smile upon his face. You art
talking about old man John Helm? Well,
did YOU know that used to live when
was boy in Helms town. lie was
kind to me He seemed TO like me as n
boy, and he never lost an opportunity to
help me. lie seemed to think said Lin
coin. with another OF his almost pathetic
smiles, that | would probably make
something OF man. Why when ]
went out to Illinois, poor and unknown,
that man gave me the money to pay my
way and keep me until l got start
John Helm? o, yes, I know him, And
I know what l owe him. | think l can
fix this case
And then" said Senator Mills" Lin
coin went to HE desk urd wrote few
lines. The bit OF writing Is treasured In
the Helm household to this day. THIS Is
what the President wrote;
"'I hereby pardon John l., Holm, Of
Kentucky. for all that he has ever done
AGAINST the United States government,
and all that he ever win do,
