A CONVIcT'S MESSAGE.
What One Man Who Has Drained the
Bitter Cup Of Sin Has to Say
to Young Men.

a popular. happy-Eo-lucky business
man. who had just been sentenced to
Joliet penitentiary ON an indetermin-
ate sentence, as the result OF selling
bogus real estate mortgages. gave this
warning 90 other young men who may
be tempted Co lead a sinful life:
Remember young man. that your
sin viii find you out Be sure OF II.
You cannot escape it. I thought when
1 first sold a small mortgage Of 800
that 1 could easily repay this by a
lucky strike or commission on some
real estate deal. but when 7 found that
/ could not do this. and the person
owning the mortgage asked for her
money. then / had 20 sell another
larger one TO make good Then I
thought 81 was SO easy that I could
keep up the crime forever.
But. BE sure your sin will find
you out Boys and young men. don't
play poker. Don't start when you are
young sneakinE back OF the barn
with other small boys and friends and
use corn for poker chips and learn to
play. Don't. for Gods sake. smoke
cigarettes. Don't drink your first
glass Of beer or whisky. Don't. be-
cause you hear of some neighbor max
ing some money az the races. bet on
horses. BE sure your sin will find
you OUT
There Is the trouble. boys. Your
first crime. It leads Won on and on
until YOU surely land where am

Der ~ years. Boys remember his.

but You can't How many times IN
the past ten months have I stayed

THE PEARSON CASE.

The Rufus Pearson case, which
is identical with the Jamison case
in the legal questions Involved, was
taken directly 10 the state courts
as test case without the interven-
ton Of the United States court.
Pearson applied to Judge FELTON,
for writ OF habeas corpus and also
carried his case up 70 the superior
court from the recorders court by
certiorari. On the certiorari he
was released on bond.
Judge FELTON,, however, refused
to make the habeas corpus absolute.
and Pearson, through his attorney,
Alex Alderman, appealed TO the state
supreme court.
Practically on the same ground as
was expressed In the Jamison case,
the supreme court refused to hear
the Pearson case. II was held that
Pearson must first be in the custody
of tho person from whom he seeks
release before habeas corpus can ap-
ply. In other words, Pearson Will
have to surrender himself to super
intendent Wimbfsh OF the Macon
Changing before the supreme
court can consider his case. This
course Will be pursued, and Pearson
will so back to the changing.
1t is likely the same course Will
be pursued in the Jamison case.
Jamison viii doubtless surrender
himself to the changing authori-
ties the day before the hearing In
the supreme court in order 20 give
his appeal the proper standing. In
this way the case cbn ae passed on
by the state courts on its merits.

I paused and eazed around me.
To see what man had made

Overwhelmed with every trade:
With vice and sin on every hand.

With sorrow deep in many a home.
