less he would have deserved impeach-

the officers of Idaho to be brought

Psttibons's Awful Record.
lone Of them, George Pettibone,
had been tried and convicted in the
courts Of this state and sentenced to
the penitentiary In Detroit. I parti-
cipated in the trial conducted in be-
half Of those interested in having
crime punished and he was convict
| ed in the United states court. He was
released on a technicality in the form
Of the indictment. He put the
powder In the penstock that blew up
| the Frisco mill; he was seen to do
1t by number Of persons, but God
saw to 1t that he was marked, be-
cause the powder prematurely ex-
pIoded and blew off the greater part
| OF one Of his hands, and he stood
there in the open daylight, with the
mill lifted into the air, with the hui
man lives Of the men who were work
ers there, against whom he had not

the blood. the result Of the explosion,

cause wasn't in that state over there

statutes of idaho make the access
sory a principal. They have wiped
cut the distinction between the prin-
cipal in murder cases and an Access
sorry to the offense-that is a person

Fan act that results in the death of
the party killed. Wisely so. So that

these men didn't themselves kill ex-
Governor Steunenberg they could not
be extradited as principals, and the
Jaw of extradition in regard to access

to principals, Is without foundation.
They were principals because they
had procured 1t to be done.
II desire that this should be plain
in the minds of the good citizens of
tins country who, acting under a mis-
taken impression as to the facts and
the law in this case, are criticising
and threatening to vote against Gov
