HUNTER IS OBSTINATE
Slayer of Homer Holland Re-

Penitentiary
WANTS JUSTICE OR NOTHING
Hunter Appears Immune to All Forms
of Punishment, AItho He Knows
What His Unparalleled Course Will
Bring Him To-Warden's Interpre-
tation of Law Affirmed.
pecial to Times Republican.

| Special to Times Republican.
Fort Madison, April 5.-Matt Hunter
slayer of Homer Holland, has not yet
begun serving The twenty-five year SEN
tence which was Imposed upon him af-
ter his second trial. Many who had
watched the proceedings of the trial
believed him lucky. He didn't see it
that way. True, he had succeeded in
having his sentence reduced from life
imprisonment to twenty five years
which, with good time" allowance
would be but 16 or II years, but to him
that meant injustice. Stubbornness
greater than that of the proverbial
mule, asserted itself and he vowed that
he would never do lick of work as
long as he was in prison.
That was the situation a year and a
half ago. Today it is the same The
warden at Fort Madison prison states
that Hunter hasn't even begun serving
his sentence, inasmuch as the judge i'm
posed the condition hard labor when
administering sentence. The warden
says Hunters twenty-five years will
not begin running until he goes to
work. Good lawyers say the warden is
night In his Interpretation of the law.
Down at TT. Madison Hunter grits
his teeth and reiterates doggedly that
he will not work BY doing SO he knows
he Is not only FORGETTING his good time
allowance which would cut off more
than seven years of his sentence but
Is also virtually self-imposing a life
sentence. But he says he cares not;
he is entitled to his freedom or nothing
and that until he gets justice he will
do nothing.
In all the history Of the state prisons,
no parallel to the Hunter case is found.
There have been many unruly prisoners
who were down as third grade men
men who have their hair cropped, must
wear stripes, must remain in dungeons,
have nothing to read but the Bible. re-
ceive no visitors. write no letters, eat
little or nothing besides bread and wat
err and forfeit all good time allowance.
This punishment usually brings an I'M
ruly prisoner. to his senses and causes
him to alter his conduct so as to adj
vance to the second if not to the first
class. But to all forms of punishment
Hunter appears immune. After more
than year OF 1t, he appears just as
determined as ever. It cannot continue
forever. 1t means death in the end. He
knows 1t but Still declines to work.

REV. HARTER RESIGNS.
Webster City Pastor Gives Up Work
on Account of Ill Health.

on Account OF III r1ediSh.
Special to Times Republican.
Webster City. April 5.-Rev. Harter
who Went to Battle Creek short time
ago for treatment, arrived home We'd
nesday night. His condition seemed
so bad that his friends We're not APP
prised of his return, and Sunday
when his resignation was read in
church it created much surprise. No
action was taken In the matter, but It
will be acted upon next Thursday
evening.
Rev. Harter's idea was to return at
once to Battle Creek and should have
left at once, but such a marked inn
provement was shown that he did not
feel it necessary to leave so soon.
However he expects to leave today
either for Battle Creek or for Dakota
points. The object of the trip is not
so much for treatment as for rest ana
recuperation.
