Release of the Y onneers.

An attempt will again be made by
the friends of Cole and James
Youn ger, to have them released from
prison. They have been incarcerated
in the Minnesota state prison for "a
years and frequent attempts have
been made TO no purpose by their fam
lilies to secure their release. When
ever the question Of their pardon has
been agitated strong remonstrance
has been made by the press again st
their release 1t is said that a bill
will be introduced in the legislature
this winter for their release on parole.
The remonstrance against their re-
lease does not arise from the fear
that they would commit any lawl ess
acts, but the nature of their crime is
such that public opinion seems to de-
mand that they shall suffer on as an
exam pie to deter others from yielding
to the mptation of bank robbery
with murder as a concomitant.
