The evening Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1902-1902, 1902-05-30
ITEMS FROM
NEW CASTLE.

l
is the contrast between pardoned
murderer and Sheriff Mcdaniel and
Mayor Boyd. Cole a few years ago
left Philadelphia armed with base
ball bat He came to Wilmington
with malice in his heart and without
a moments warning sent young
Montague into eternity. He got the
gore and gray matter. He was
tried for that crime and while serv-
ing his sentence was pardOned.
Delawareans cannot condone such
an act. A Delawarean murdered in
cold blood and then that slayer Of a
human being to be pardOned. Then
he is taken up by the State that
pardoned him in an attempt to be-
smirch the character of four Della
wareans. A base ball bat in the
hands sent man to eternity. A
Bible in the blood stained hands of
such man would send honored sons
of honored parents to prison cell.
The people of Delaware cannot
stand for such an undertaking.
Sheriff Mcdaniel, Mayor Boyd, Har-
vey Wigglesworth and Walter Rash
are known to the people. But some
one says from where did the tramps
come. They were unfortunate fel-
lows and their station was unavaila-
BILE. As high as 60 tramps have
been seen coming out of Jail in the
morning. Night after night they
could be seen coming in threes, tiyes
and tens and policemen and citizens
escorted them to the Jail Since
the prisoners were moved half
score of tramps have not been here.
After the Jail closed the tramps
came along and Mayor Boyd fur
nished car fare so that they could
get a place to sleep in Wilmington
at the police station where they are
kept for one night.
Is that the sort of a man to be
branded as a conspirator by the Ca
madam murderer who was pardoned
while serving his SENTENCED Why
not bring back Jim johnson? Why
not pardon the Italian murderer'
Why should Butch" Walker and
Wallace remain in Jail when the
man with the base ball bat, who
killed a promising young Delawa-
warean, is pardoned and then ex-
alted. Why should such a person
be permitted to get more gore and
gray matter by an oath. There are
many men in the Delaware Hospi-
tai for the Insane who are rational
on all subjects but one. Coles FAM
lily has the strain and who can tell
but he is off on one subject.
Then the people say take John
Adams. For months he was an in
valid and given exceptional care.
Sheriff Mcdaniel, his wardens and
others were kind to him. He seems
to be in fair way to repay them.
He is said to be another of the wit
nesses against Mayor Boyd. The
people Of New Castle respect their
Mayor. He is an honored son of an
honored State and has been honored
by the people and Governor. Can
it be SO that murderer pardoned
by this state is to be his accllsor of
being a conspirator: Warlens Wig
ellsworth and Rash acted as through
gentleman while here. They gained
the respect of all. Are they to be
branded as conspirators2 New Cas-.
tie people will await the result of
this case for a vindication OF the
parties.
The prosecuting officers, the Judges
and jurors will handle the case i'm
partially The evidence will be
weighed and so will the character
of the men who testify. New Cas-
tie people look on with desire that |
no innocent man shall suffer.
