KILLED A DESPERATE.
Therefore Charles BOman Is
PardOned by Gov. Stanley.

Charles Boman was to-day pardoned
from the state penitentiary because he
performed a public service when he
shot and killed S. Smith, a Wilson
county Desperate. who had terrorized
the peaceable citizens there for several
years.
Governor Stanley is hearing pardon
cases to-day, and he passed favorably
upon Boman's application the first
thing this morning.
One year ago Boman was a con-
stable in Wilson county, and he at
tempted to serve a writ on Smith
Trouble ensued and eliminated in
bitter enmity on the part of Smith.
Boman retired from Office and moved
from Fredonia to Benedict, opening a
barber shop. He was a. peaceable and
respected citizen of the community
Smith came to the little town one day
last summer armed with a. big knife
and a murderous revolver. He paraded
the streets, threatening to kill Boman
on sight.
Boman finally went to Smith and-told
him if he would go with him to his
barber shop he would show a record of
the papers which would prove that as
constable he was authorized to arrest
Smith.
The temper in which Smith found
himself caused him to charge Boman
with false attempt to arrest him,
without process or warrant of law.
Smith put his weapons in his pocket.
Boman, acting upon the advice of his
friends, went home and procured a re-
VolVer- He returned to his place Of
business On the way he met Smith,
who was cursing and brandishing his
gun, again threatening to shoot Boman.
Smith saw Boman, but before he
could turn and begin his threatened
work, Boman shot him. Smith fell to
the ground, screaming wildly for help.
Boman again shot him in the back.
killing him.
Boman was convicted of Y11anslaugh-
ter in the fourth degree and sentenced
by Judge Stilwell to eighteen months in
the penitentiary. This was the lowest
possible sentence under the law, and
the verdict returned by the jury was
the minimum.
Boman was taken to the penitentiary
in September. The application for a
pardon was soon thereafter presented.
1t is voluminous document. signed by
more than 1000 citizens of Wilson
county.
The members of the jury which con-
victed Boman signed the petition for
his pardon. The county attorney who
prosecuted him also Joined in the rec
ommendation. Judge Stilwell, who SEN
fenced ROman. also recommended eX-
ecutive clemency
In his letter to the governor Mr..
Stilwell calls attention to the fact
that public sympathy was with Boman
because he Killed the desperate who
had terrorized the people of the county
for several years. Smith was a vi
cious, dangerous man. said the judge
in the letter. and at the time of the
trial there seemed to be a doubt in
the minds of the jurors as to the JUS
tice of the sentence and verdict"
Upon these recommendation the gov
ernor issued an unconditional pardon.
Smith will leave the prison at once
and go to work to earn money to sup
port his wife and two babies, who are
suffering for the necessities Of life.

AMATTER OF HEALTH.
Chicago Labor Union Opposes En-
pIoyment of Women.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The first step in
the war to be waged by the organiza-
tlons of the building material trades
council against the employment of wo-
men in factories has been taken by
c. B. and Herman Felgenhauer, repre-
senting the Metal POliShers and Buffers
union, the only one in the council whose
members have to compete with women
laborers when they called on the man
ufacturers and demanded that no more
women be employed. One reason for the
war against woman labor is the protec-
ton of the health of women
Manufacturers say the work does not
injure women's health more than mems
and that precautions are taken to pre-
vent unhealthful conditions. The state
ment that the women can work for
short time only is denied by the manu-
facturerS.

This statement had no sooner reached
Major Hood than he made the following
proposition:
This property will be conveyed to this
committee or whomeVer they may Sc
lect, upon the payment of forty-One
thousand dollars and interest on that
amount for each day it has been invest
ed; with this stipulation; that they
shall agree, and put up good and sur
ficient bond to make that agreement
good that the depositOrs through the
depositOrs' committee shall realize not
less than sixty thousand dollars Tor the
property. This is discounting the com
mittee's estimate forty thousand dol
lars.
At a melting of the depositors' com
mittee today, it was decided to accept
Major Hoods proposition, and the pro-
perty Will be at once turned over to the
committee.
Emporia, Jan 16.-Monday the depos-
itOrs' committee of the defunct FIRST
National bank waited on Major Hood
and stated they We're willing to take
the property on his terms. and the ma
jor said he was willing The commit
tee authorizes the statement that the
papers for the transfer are being made
out. and that they propose to turn over
every cent the property will bring, less
necessary expenses, to the depositorS-
Major Hood stated. that the entire
transaction was simply matter OF
business; that had he not thought the
property to be worth more than $4,000
he would not have been interested in
purchasing it. However. he did not
think it worth nearly as much as the
committee claimed. The court had OF
dered the property. sold for cash to tho
highest bidder The trustee sold it to
the highest cash bidder. AS L stated, -
said the major, 1--WE purchased the pro-
perty as a matter of business, but If
these gentlemen are willing to guaran-
tee $50. 600 to the depositors, I, for my
self, am willing to give up whatever
profit 1 might have made on the trans
action, rather than be placed in the
light of making a good bargain at the
expense of the depositors of the First
National bank, nearly every one Of
whom is a personal friend or neigh
bOr''
