The TRIBUNE has carefully in
vestigated the merits of the appli-
cation which will be made on the
fifth of July for the pardon of @.
b. Sykes, now serving a life term
in the penitentiary, and it certain
ly looks that if ever a man was
imprisoned unjustly Sykes is that
man. That the man, of whose
murder Sykes was convicted, was
afterwards seen on several occa-
sions, alive aad well, seems to be
established beyond the peradven-
ture of doubt. We believe that
an innocent man has suffered. and
that the very least the governor
can do is to restore to him his
liberty.
