An Appeal for Wynne

Americana 'ors Dementia Hibernicus, =
but he has the opinion of honest hard
working men Chat are a credit to the
country that he has been noticed by
them, as strange in his manner and
actions. Presenting such TO be the case,
it were better that 80 guilty people
should escape, than one innocent
Through responsibility person should
be condemned, and I am certain that
the Hon. Mr.. Breckons, q. S. Attor-
ney, will leave no stone unturned, to
secure fair, impartial, and unpreju-
diced trial for this unfortunate man.
In olden times, we read that the
Greeks were the bravest of brave war
riors The prosecutions of centuries,
by the eneroachments and invasions of
the unspeakable Turk, has ranked in
their breast, and the Greek of the
present day is quick to use his poinard
on his imaginary or real enemy. They
have been sucked on the breast of
ton. The same may be said of the
Spanish race, who were overran by the
Moors in the middle ages and perse-
cuted, but God of Heaven, when we
think of the prosecutions that Hiber-
mans have endured, for the past 735
years, is it any wonder, or can people
be surprised, at peace-loving, God-fear-
ing, patriotic Irishmen in America, re-
pudiating any real or imaginery
grievances that they may labor under.
The brave-hearted, hospitable, emotion
al Irishman, has turned the tide of
many a battle, such as Fonteny, Sus-1
quehanna, Bunker's Hill and Chatta-
nooga. Mr.. Editor, If this feeble, but
best possible, appeal for an untried
prisoner, in prison cell, shall help to
mitigate the enormity of his offence,
in the eyes of the law and the public;
if it shall help to tighten the sorrow
of the mothers of the living and the
dead, who may accept it as the will
of God; if it shall be the means of
causing the scales of justice, to balance
correctly, then Mr.. Editor, l thank you
for publicity, in your clean and I'M
furnished journal.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH T. LIDDY.

Editor Advertiser: No sirl You are

to say, the humanity, honor and de-
ceney, and dignity, to refrain from
bounding an imprisoned and helpless
man to death, by painting imaginary
pictures of the Nervousness of his
crime (if crime it may Beg before he
comes face to face with a judge and
jury, who are to decide, as to whether
the man is amenable, for the commits
sion of the lamentable act, that he
perpetrated, when he was evidently I'M

Several men, who have been employed
with John Tynne, and others, who have
had him work for them (amongst the
latter, being Chief Engineer J. F. Me-
Intosh, of the s. s. Sierra have most
emphaticall stated to me, that Oiler J..
Wynne was the most tranquil, inoffen-
sive, obliging, respectful and obedient
man that ever worked with or for them,
and some of those former shipmates of
this man, were more than astounded,
when they were informed by me, of
Wynne's horrible but perhaps irrespon-
sible act, and freely gave vent to their
opinion that he must have had fit
of mental alteration, as he often ap-
peared to be morose, and vacant, in
his looks, to them.
Poor Engineer A. F. McKinnon has
been snatehed from this life, in the
flower Of his youth, just as he had
his foot on the first rung of the ladder
of success. Requieseat in place. His
forlorn mother 3 bosom must be pierced
by the pangs of anguish, when she
tries to realize, that her beloved son
mas met with such an untimely end
May God comfort and console her, and
the unfortunate parents of Wynne who
will mourn, back in the green lands
of Ireland, to the day of their death,
for the awful calamity that has over
taken their son, thousands of miles
from his native land, with no one to
comfort him, be he responsible or ir-
responsible. This man has no wealth
to back him up in plea of 'fDementia

may be avoided by giving Chamber

men cannot compete with convict la
Dor.
where are large number of
families in this city who depend up
on the laboring mans wage to live
and l call it an injustice to these
families to be compelled to attempt
to labor in competition with the
work of convicts."
Contrary to the general opinion
that labor is scarce at the present
time, Mr.. Reid holds the idea that
there are plenty OF men to do the
work and that many could be found.
Mr.. Reid is backed up in his opin-
ion by several laboring men OF the
city. 1t is stated they will make an
attempt to block the move to bring
convicts into North Yakima ami
Yakima county.
