Guilty Man Writes Letter Telling All

Conscience Worried Hm-9oth Are
From lrelard.
Baltimore, Md, Sept 1.-THE story
Of an innocent man serving a sentence
In the penitontiary here was told 10
Governor Marheld by the man for
whom the prisoner is said to have
shouldered the blame. A letter from
Chicago signed Michael j. iIealy re-
lates how Patrick McManus has sui
fered in silence for nearly two years
for an OfIense for which Healy says
he is to blame. On returning to his
home in ireland Healy unburdened
his conscience To- a priest who made
him promise TO see that McManus was
yindicated. The result is a letter re-
counting their arrest McManus' self
sacrifice and punishment and Healy $
shame.
In the letter Healy says that in
1905 he induced McManus to accom-
pany him from Ireland to Baltimore.
where they were to establish them
selves in business. They became
stranded shortly after arriving in this
city. and Hoaly, who claims to have
been a bank clerk, forged a check
which he gave to McManus to cash
saving he had received it in payment
for a newspaper article. Healy says be
counted on receiving a remittance IN
time to cover the amount OF the check.
The check was dishOnored and BON
were arrested. McManus, according to
Healy's statement plead guilty and as
sumed all responsibility. hoping that
Healy when released would be able to
set things right McManus was sen
fenced to two years in the peniten
tiary Healy was released, but he did
nothing 10 clear McManus until he
sent the letter TO Governor Warfield.
When informed Of Healy's action
McManus declared that he, McManus
was innocent of any wrongdoing, but
that as his term would expire in De
cember he preferred to remain a pris
oner until that time rather than have
any more publicity given to the case
He was DESTROYS that his relatives in
Ireland should remain in ignorance OF
his trouble. The warden OF the pcniton
tiary said that McManus had been
model prisoner. and his term has been
shortened for good behavior

BRYAN ANSWERS SULLIVAN
Refuses to Go into Personal Contro'
.versv with Chicago Man.

.VerSy With chicago Man,
Lincoln. Neb, Sept. l4.-The reply
Of William J. Bryan to the statement
ii Roger Sullivan, of Chicago, has been
ciyen ont. Mr.. Bryan had said that
he would not lower the discussion with
Mr.. Sullivan to one Of personal contro-
yersy. The text OF his reply follows:
In his speech before the Jefferson
Club in Chicago on the everAng Of Sep
TENDER 4. Mr. Bryan referred to the
case Of Roger Sullivan, Democratic
national committeeman from Illinois.
Mr.. Sullivan has replied in state
ment quite characteristic of the man
and his methods. but he will not be
permitted TO lower this discussion 10
the level of a personal controversy.
The public is not interested in Mr.. Sui
livans views Of Mr.. Bryan any more
than il would be interested in Mr.. Bry-
ans views concerning Mr.. Sullivan
were MIR. Bryan to deal with Mr.. Sulli-
vans personality. Mr. Sullivan is the
Democratic national committeeman
from Illinois, holding his office by vir-
tue Of unfair methods. If Mr.. Sullivan
disputes the assertion that a consid-
cradle majority of the delegates to the
Springfield convention were opposed 10
him. he can fight the question out with
the majority league Of Illinois, when
will doubtless accommodate him. As
Mr.. Bryan has not asked for a noml-
nation and has not asked that he be
made a candidate, he will not discuss
that matter with Mr. Sullivan. Mr.
Bryan believes Mr.. Sullivan is officially
connected with a favor-seeking, fran
chise holding corporation and the ques-
tfsn is whether the Democratic organ
ization should be paralyzed by the in
fluence Of men whose private interests
make it impossible for them to be war
dens of the public"

NO LIBERTY WITHOUT LAW.

There is no surer protection for
society, for the lowest and the
highest, than the enforcement of
the law. Very few new laws are
needed anywhere. There are laws
enough in the statute books. The
need is not more laws, but the en-
forcement of laws that already
exist. The activity of legislative
bodies in creating laws and the
laxity of courts in enforcing them
serve to cheaper law and to di
minish respect for it. No law
should be dead letter. 1t should
be either enforced or repealed.
Maudlin sentiment should not
be permitted to interfere with the
laws enforcement.
Referring to a movement to pre-
vent the execution of a sentence IN
a peculiarly aggravated case, the
New York Sun says:
"This and all similar exhibit
items of hysterical sentiment,
whether they are a lynching gang
defying a Supreme Court order,
such a clamor for reckless prose
cution as that which aroused Dis.
trict Attorney Jerome to bitter
speech lately, or such loose talk
about the courts as Senator Knox
protested against in the Senate
last week, are at least as much OF
a danger to the survival of liberty
as the graft and corruption in
business and politics about which
so much has been increasingly said
in the last year and a half. The
reign of law is based on reason,
but matchmaking leads to mob
rule"
Without law anarchy would
reign. When it is understood that
the law will be enforced, that the
strong and the weak must obey il
or suffer punishment, there will
be fewer offenders and a stronger
feeling of protection end security
in the matter of life and prope1t y
and legal rights, and more respect
for the law and for the courts. As
it is, there is too much loose crit
cism of courts, too often by law
yers who are themselves court off
Gals and who should und SAND
that their criticisms encourage
disrespect for courts and for law.

APPEAL OF THE FAMOUS CASE.

The Savannah attorneys for
Greene and Gaynor are working
night and day to get their excep-
tions to the decisions of Judge
Speer in this famous case in form.
They keep five clerks and stenog-
raphers working from twelve to
eighteen hours every day getting
the records in shape. Mr.. A. A.
Lawrence, of the firm of Osborne
& Lawrence, is giving the matter
his personal attention, and it is
expected that by the time the
limit given for making the plea
for a new trial expires that every
thing will be in the best of shape.
1t seems to have been determined
to make as strong a fight in the
future for these men as has been
made in the past.
