MR.. COLLINS ON THE JURY

Which Tried the Last Important Muir
der Case in the District Court.
A coincidence in the district court is
found in the fact that the late James S.
Collins was foreman of the jury which
passed upon the last important murder
case tried in the court.
It was the MatsOn case in which the
negro. Novels, was convicted of the
murder of Mrs. MatsOn, in her home at
Fifteenth and Monroe streets.
There has been but one murder case
in court since that, and it was of little
Importance, having occurred on Smoky
Row where during a drunken brawI
one negro shot and killed another.
Another feature of similarity in the
Collins and Matson cases is that the
prosecution in the Collins case relies
solely upon circumstantial evidence to
secure a conviction of John Collins. In
the Matson case. the evidence was Who'll

PARDONED BUT IN JAIL.
Francis Brown, Pardoned by Govern
or LeedY. Must Paw the Costs.

It may be easy enough for jointist to
get a pardon from Governor Leedy, but
the pardon does not always release a pris-
oner from the county Jail. The governor
cannot relieve prisoner of the costs of
his trial and until the costs are paid he
must be kept in jail.
Mrs. Francis Brown appeared before the
board of county commissioners today and
asked the board to order the release of her
husband, who was pardoned by Governor
Leedy week ago. Brown was convict
ed in the district court and appealed his
case and the costs are $45 He has not
the money to pay the costs and Mrs.
Brown asked to have him released.
Chairman Scott Kelsey of the board of
county commissioners said: Il am not in
favor of releasing anyone. It costs the
county enough to convict these people and
I not in favor of undoing what the
court has done"
