You probably have read the story
Of Liucolu'S defense Of boy murderer
named Armstrong. The boys mother
had befllended Lincoln when be was q
oUy, and when young Armstrong wa'
arrested LlncUin volunteered tO de
lend nlm III return for the favor hi,
mother had shown him. LincOlI
Investigated tine case, and fOunC
it hopeless. The principal witness
against the boy was a mai
named Norris, who testified that b,
saw the murder and that it was com
mitted Gu bright moonlight night
Throughout the trial, Lincoln let tn,
prosecution have It's own way, ant
surprised everybody by making no at
tempt al d defense. When the stat,
rested It's case Lincoln produced al
almanac which he had had printed
according 10 his own instructions
showing that On the night the murde
was supposed TO have been committed
there was no moon. He submittet
this almanac to the jury, and rested
The boy was acquitted ant
Norris, the prosecuting witness, wa
arrested for perjury and as an az
cOmplice to tine murder and sentences
to the penitentiary for nine years

boy, Armstrong, wrote a letter Il
Governor Yates OF Illinois, setting
forth the facts about the specially
printed almanac, and Governor Yates
without. consulting the pardoninl
board, wrote letter TO the warden o
the Illinois penitentiary granting
| full and unconditional pardon to Nor

county: Jason Norris Of Arg0nia. Fl
was Il caller at the VOICE officl
last night and told the history Of tn
celebrated case. He says his fathe
accepted the sentence 10 the peniten
tiary without ever thinking OF get
ting another almanac to prove hi
side OF the story. One thing tina
probably entered into the minds O
the jury and weighed against hlr
was the fact that Norris mad pre-,
iOusly killed man, but before dyin
the man made statement exOner
atiDg him on the grounds that th
shooting was accidental. The printe
