Refuses n Pardon.
Although persistently importuned 20
grant a pardon to Mary and Jennie Man
ming two hayward Lincoln girls. serving
sentences in the county Jail for heaving a
brick through the sleeping room Of the
police Judge, Governor Mickey this morn
ing announced that he would not interfere.
A formal hearing was granted. The basis
| OF the application was the unequal punish
ment accorded the girls and the man who
accompanied them when the brick episode
occurred. The latter turned states evil
dence. and gave the officers information
that led to the arrest of another friend of
the Mannings Ellis by name, on the
charge of arson. While the governor ex-
pressed his indignation over what locke l
to him like favoritism, he said he would
not interfere as Ions as the public pros
ecutor objected.
