of the shooting Up" of Browns
vile, Texas.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 3O.-In
the Macklin court martial today the de-
PENDANT took the witness stand. Capt.

of his trip into the town at 8 o'clock at
night and said he found no soldiers in
the city.
He said he retired shortly before mid
night and later was awakened by noise
at his door. He at first thought it was
the reveille sounding but looking at his
clock discovered it was not yet l o'clock.
He then went to sleep and heard moth
ing more until he was finally awakened
by soldier who told of the shooting in
the city.
Lieut. Lawranson of the Twenty
fifth infantry, was next placed on the
stand and said he knew Capt. Macklin

cial. Anton Tarkowski, a Milwaukee

Pardon or Commute Sentence
Of Postoffice Robber.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 30
President Roosevelt in note to the de-
partment of justice today expressed the
opinion that John William January OF

muted at once or be pardoned outright
January was convicted some years ago
of robbing a postoff1ce in Oklahoma anu
served the greater portion of tve-year

capped and after nine years OF liberty
was rearrested in Kansas City and re-
turned to prison. Many petitions, one
from the Missouri Legislature. have
reached the President asking for ms
pardon. He had lived in Kansas CITY
under the name of Charles w. Anderson
during the time he was at liberty.
Shortly after his escape January, I'M
ment and eventually established himself
in business, which he was successfully
conducting at the time of his rearrest.
He married and had a child.
President Roosevelt's action followed
a visit of Senator Warner of Missouri to
the white house early in the day, accom-
panied by ]. NJ. Kennedy, private secre-
tary to Representative Ellis of Kansas
City. After the matter had been eN-
planned to him the President made the
following Endorsement on the statement:
department of Justice:
SIN view of the statements OF the
judges, bank presidents, etc, who know
him, l think Anderson's nine years OF
life as an honest citizen, hard working
and of good repute, warrant us III com
muting his sentence at once or IN par
doning him outright. Which do you
think ought to be done? Are there sui
fcient reasons for not doing either!
