A PLEA FOR CLEMENCY.

A strong effort has been made to in
duce Acting Governor Nichols to
commute the death sentence of Teo-
dor Elias, of Tucson, to life i'm
prisonment. Elias killed a Tucson
policeman in cold blood and with de-
Liberation and malice aforethought.
The same old story has been poured
into the ears of the acting governor to
secure his clemeDcy, and loug chain
of statements and argument, which
never appeared on the trial is related
in an attempt to swerve the chief ex-
ecutive of the territory from the per-
Torrance of his duty to the perform
ance of an official act which is seldom
justifable.
1t is astonishing what an accumula-
ton of alleged facts the friends of
doomed man can secure after convic
ton and within very few weeks, but
which they failed to secure during
the months preceding the trial.
According to the story now told by
Elias friends to the governor, this
red handed murderer, Elias, in the
killing of an officer in cold blood
performed a great service to the pub
lie and instead of being hung for the
act he should be made mayor of the
ancient Pueblo.
They aver and allege too that Elias
was weak minded. This probably &C.
cunts for the fact that he did not per-
form this great public service de-
cade, sooner. Had he been possessed
of stronger mind he would probably
have realized several years sooner,
that he would be public benefactor,
in the removal of the Tucson police
officer.
If the people of Tucson have discov-
cred such an amount of evidence
favorable to the condemned man, the
proper place to present it would be to
the district court in Tucson and if
they should convince the judge that
the story told the governor is true he
would no doubt grant a new trial and
a jury convinced of its truth would
no doubt acquit the man and award
him a medal.
Acting Governor Nichols is we
imagine, a little too shrewd to be
caught by this "new after the trial"
evidence.

After the above was put in type,
opies of Phoenix papers have been
received which contained the an
nouncement that Acting Governor
Nihcols had declined to inerfere with
the sentence of the court. 1t is GER
tainly gratifying to know that Cover
nor Nichols stands in favor of having
the courts deal with offenders of this
kind according to the law. In deny
ing the application for clemency, he
very aptiy says: "The petitioners also
ask for Communication as an act of
mercytawards the family and friends
of the defendant, and that life i'm
prisonment would be full punishment
for the crime committed. The meas
ure of punishment for crime is decid-
ed by the courts, and executive elem.
ency is justified only on grave and
sufficient grounds. The family and
friends of one who is condemned to
death receive the full sympathy of the
people, and in this case l believe that
they receive it to the fullest extent;
but to allow this feeling to control to
the extent requested by the petition
ers would, it appears to me, render
the efforts of the courts to
prevent crime"
The date fixed for Elias execution
is Tuesday, July %. As his case has
been before the supreme court and
fully heard by that body and the find
ings of the lower court approved, and
the chief executive having failed to
furnish him any relief, it looks as
though sentence will be carried into
effect.
