fact. one signed BY men and the other
by women. both fighting the movement
to pardon Mrs. Birdsons and many Of
them were her old school chums.
The trade Of the women leads of
with the declaration that BY no stretch
Of the imagination can the unwritten
law be applied in Mrs. BirdsOngi $

ceedinsly the misguided public SYM

about by preiudiced reports sent to
the metropolitan press and also be-
cause the true condition Of affairs was
not brought out at the trial. Relying
on the manhood and chivalry Of the

purity and sanctity Of the home.s Be.
lieving the guilt Of this woman, who Is
in the form Of human being, Justly
merits the punishment sought to be In
ficted, we, therefore, most earnestly
solicit your excellency to withhold ex4
ecutive clemency in this woman's
case, as the 6ve-year sentence. in our
judgment. is very light"
Governor Vardaman says he is not
to be swerved from the determination
he reached a week ago. when he af.
6rmed that the unwritten law was
made for women as well as men. and
that he will never permit Mrs. Bird
song to wear stripes.
The petition from the men Of Mrs.
Birdsongs community is even more
bitter than that Of the women. Il ex-
presses fear Of the future Of society
should such "heinous crimes as that Of
this disreputable woman 90 unpun-
ished." and counsels the governor not
to entertain misguided sympathy on ac.
co0nt Of her sex. I'M
II is expected that the inuendoes in
the petition will rekindle the fractional
flames and that more trouble and pos
sibly bIoodshed will result.

Pitt Sing, all alone in the drawing

her tail, and in that position found
