MOTHER NEEDS HIS HELP
Member of the First Delaware
Imprisoned on Governors
Island for DesertiOn.
SEVERE SENTENCE IMPOSED
Efforts Being Made to Have His
Sentence Revoked as He Was
Ignorant of the Military
Laws When He
Enlisted.

A case that is attracting much pity
and sympathy in the city generally,
and especially among the residents OF
the South side, is that of eighteen. year.
old John Kimsky, who is confined in
Governors Island, New York, while his
widowed mother needs his help in sup
porting the family.
Mrs. Kimsky resides on Elm street,
above Van Buren,, and is longing to have
her boy home with her. The family
has not been in this country very long,
but are patriotic and when the war with
Spain broke out Mrs. Kimsky urged her
son to 90 to the front. He enlisted in
the First Delaware Volunteers and
marched away with the boys. Up tc
this time he had been employed in q
carriage factory.
He was in camp for two weeks and had
not yet received uniform when he
came home from Camp Tunnel to see
his mother. She had felt his need while
he was away, and not knowing the law
about deserving insisted upon him stay
ing home. He remained and secured
work in Ford's morocco factory. Here he
worked for twenty-four days when he
was arrested and taken back to Company
+, in which he had enlisted, the captain

to from him. His pay as soldier was
meagre enough, but his Imprisonment
| has put matters in very bad shape.
Benjamin Green, who resides on Var
Buren street near Elm, and therefore,
not far from the Kimsky family, and
John McGraugh, who were both mem.
bers OF the First Delaware Volunteers,
but in another company, and are well
acquainted with the unfortunate young
man, have interested themselves in his
behalf.
They think that his six weeks spent at
hard labor while in camp would have
been sufficient punish ment 70, him.
They think that his sentence should
be remitted and his disfranchisement
should be removed. This order if not
annulled will prevent him from ever be-
coming citizen of this country. Other
young men of the same regiment who
were convicted Of various charges have
been pardoned. One was given one year
for striking commissioned officer and
the other six months for desertion.
Kimsky's friends do not find fau
with his comrades being pardoned, but
think there was some excuse for his ac-
tions, and considered in this light his Of
tense was not as great as the others. A
determined effort is being made to Sc
cure his pardon and have the order re-
voked DISTINGUISHING him.
