HOWARD'S DEFENSE FUND
Committees Appeal for Funds to
Carry Case to Supreme
Court.

The undersigned have consented to
act as a committee to receive and dis.
burse any fund that may be coutribu-
ted towards the expense of an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court
by James B. Howard from the recent
judgment Of the Court of Appeals OF
Kentucky, affirming the sentence OF
imprisonment for life In his case.
We are informed, and believe, that
there Is at least a reasonable hope
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States will take jurisdiction and con-
slider the question. Whether the court
will or will not assume jurisdiction it
will require about $3.50 to prepare
the record SO as to present the case to
the court. We have investigated the
question of Towards financial condi-
ton. He has on hand about $3.50
10 pei cent. of the amount required
and unless the balance Is raised with
in the next ten days the record can
not be prepared In time, and he will
be removed to the penitentiary with
In the next thirty days to serve his
sentence. 1t is proper that we should
say that the money is needed, and will
be used only for the purpose OF pay
ing the actual expenses of the prep
aration of the record, as all of the at
to!ney's fees have been heretofore set
tied.
We feel that the people of Kentucky
will not deny this man this last
chance, and we appeal to them to
come to his relief Immediately.
Contributions can be sent to any
one of the undersigned, and we pledge
to the donors of the fund our careful
attention to its distribution. The
names of subscribers to this fund will
not be made public unless desired.

had much to do with the action of Mr..
Hitchcock. Representatives of the
town were accordingly sent to Wash
ington to ask for notifications of his
order and let the townsite stand as
laid out and the limits as were orig.
inally included when the town lines
were established. But the secretary
gave no satisfaction to these repre-
senting. simply stating that additional
land was needed for park purposes
and that it was necessary as a sani.
tary precaution and protection.
The matter dragged for months and
the recent congress authorized til
enlargement of the reservation and
made provision for payment for the
town lots. or the land in the old par
site. The law with reference to the
additional land Is considered ambig-
uous, and Secretary Hitchcock has
requested the comptroller Of the treas.
ury to construe that section OF the In.
dian appropriation bill authorizing
payments for town lots in the Sulphur
Springs reservation. The original act
disregarded town lots, but made pro
vision for the improvements. The In
dian bill contains a provision direct
ing the secretary of the interior to APP
praise town lots included In the res
ervation and to pay the owners there
Of with warrants drawn on the treas-
ury. Officials of the interior depart
ment are in doubt as to whether town
lots OF the lands to be attached to
reservation are included by the provi-
sion directing payment FOR lots on
the reservation.
Secretary Hitchcock has planned to
send a special agent to Sulphur to APP
praise the lots and improvements, but
will not do so until the eomptroller's
opinion is received.
