MAY BEAT ABUSIVE PRISONERS
State Supreme Court UphoIds Officers
Other Opinions.

Des Moines, May 5. = When pris-
oner is under arrest the officer may
use reasonable force for the purpose
Of preventing him from keeping up an
uproar and disturbing people in the
vicinity by the use of violent and
abusive language"
Justice McClain thus voices the
opinion of the supreme court in the
case of John McNally of Jones county,
who sought to secure damages from
Sheriff Hiram Arnold and Deputy
Charles Sheriff. for beating him while
under arrest. The officers claimed that
McNally refused to stop swearing and
using vile and abusive language
though in the presence of the sheriff's
family, and that they had to club him
into quietness. McNally sued for
damages for the personal injury he
claimed to have sustained, but the
lower court decided against him, and
now the supreme court afirms that
decision with the above opinion. Other
decisions:
G. H. Foy VS.. Merritt Houstman, ct
al, and George Wilson. trustee, appel
liant; affirmed; opinion by Weaver;
appeal from Linn county, VIM. G.

FREES FATHER SHE CONVICTED.
Iowa Woman Gets Pardon for Man
Who Killed Her Mother.

Des Moines. May 5.--Martin May,
convicted thirteen years ago for the
murder of his wifi, and sentenced to
life imprisonment, was pardoned by
Governor Cummins Wednesday. His
prison cell opened as surprise to him
yesterday and as he stepped forth
to liberty, his daughter, who caused
his conviction and secured his release,
pleaded for forgivness.
At the time of the tragedy May was
living in Olewein with his charming
wife and daughter of 10 years. He was
jealous of his wife. She had been Wis.,
iting relatives out Of the city and on
her return she was met at the depot
by her husband and daughter These
two were the only ones present when
the husband drew a revolver and &C
cusing his wife of being untrue to her
marriage vows shot and killed her.
The daughter, believing in her
mother, arraigned herself against her
father. 1t was her testimony which
decided his fate. Since his incarcera-
ton she has grown to womanhood and
stories OF her mothers life have come
to her, SO that she has been convinced
her father did not act without provo
cation. Brooding over his life impris-
onment she has broken her health.
Finally she sought the assistance of
Ex-Governor Larabee and Warden
Hunter of the state penitentiary at
Anamosa, where May is confined. For
months she has been working with
Governor Cummins for a parole.

lowan Goes East to Show Honesty and
Barely Escapes Cell.

New York, May 5. - Samuel Win.
field Miller, a sturdy farmer from
near Cedar Rapids, Ia, obligingly came
to town today to show the United
States government officials that he is
not the Warren Miller they are look
ing for in connection with the $780,
900 bond stolen from the Manhattan
bank in 1873.
DR.. Lewis o. Wilcoxson had tried
to negotiate this bond. with the mys-
ferrous Warren Miller ready to indorse
it, before President Meyer of the Shoe
and Leather bank. DR.. Wilcoxson was
arrested, but freed on technically.
Miller disappeared, and is now much
wanted.
In search Of the federal authorities
they came across Samuel Winfield
Miller, who happened to be an uncle
Of DR.. Wilcoxson, and during one pc
Rod of his youth looked something
like the greatly desired Miller. A
photograph of old date shows this
likeness.
Farmer Miller is a friend Of the
United States district attorney and
the United States marshal of the Ce-
dar Rapids district. They advised him
to come on to show that he is not the
mysterious Miller. When he and his
friends the marshal walked into the
federal court they were told that the
authorities could not attend to the af-
fair for a few days.
Turn your prisoner over to Mar
shall Henkel, who will lock him up
was the advice the Cedar Rapids mar.
shall received.
Prisoner! Turn him over to be
locked up!" exclaimed the western of.
ficer. II guess not. My friend amt
going to be thrown into the Tombs OF
any other graveyard to please you fel,
lows. He to the hotel and me with
him for mine"
So the Iowa marshal and his friend
went away to reappear when the mat
! tef can be taken up.
