1t cost this county $4,000 to
follow the advice of Bill McCray
and the Martins in the Barada
bridge cases. OF course Martin
finally got into the case and,
earned. or rather collected, a fee
out of the county. If the board
of supervisors should again fol-
low the advice of these two Solo,
mons, you may depend upon it,
history will repeat itself. That
is to say, the county will be in
for a big damage suit because of
breaking the bridge contract,
and Martins will earn, or rather
collect, another fee from the
county.

THE LILLE PARDON.

In pardoning Mrs Lille, who
was serving a life sentence for
numbering her husband, Gov.
Mickey far exceeded his rights
and placed a distorted construc-
tion upon the pardon law. Mrs.
Lille was convicted before
Jury of twelve men. The trial
Judge after careful considera-
ton Of all the evidence, denied
motion for a new trial and held
the evidence ample to sustain the
conviction. The case w a S
argued before the Supreme court,
all three Judges agreeing that
the evidence sustained conviction
Upon an application for rehear-
ing the case was again argued to
the Supreme court, and again the
court held the conviction good.
When Governor Mickey takes
his pen in hand and says "all
these lawyers and Judges are
wrong, this woman has not been
legally convicted So, after
serving a year, she is turned
loose.
After trained lawyers upon the
district and supreme benches say
that a conviction is legal, it hard
ly comports with decency and a
proper respect for the enforce
ment of law, for man who
knows nothing of law nor the
rules of evidence, to pass his
judgment and discharge a muir
deress. The pardon law was
enacted for no such purpose as
this. The law was enacted to
shield the innocent, not to re-
lease the guilty. Gov. Mickey
permitted his sentimental nature
to control his Judgment and
issued this pardon to woman
that would never have been ask
ed had the accused been man.
