Petition For Campbeii.
I'm the case of Campbell l want to
present long petition signed by promi-
nent citizens of Paterson who have
known him for many years as industri-
| Gus, temperate and of good character.
| Campbell was not accustomed to associ-
ate with such companions. and / ask the
| court for leniency in his behalf. This
| petition contains 123 names and is head
ed by Mayor Hinchcliffe Of this city.
"Campbell went to this saloon that
night, vet when he discovered what was
going on he started to go home with
Kerr. but he did not exercise his will
power, and now he is here for judgment.
