cases. however. the court divided,
and in the final decision before the
court of appeals, while five ont of
nine justices held that the death SEN
tenee should be sustained. the re-
naming four not only declared that
substantial error had been commit
ted at the trial below but that in
their opinion the weight Of the evil
dence showed that Patrick was an
innocent man.
In view of this remarkable divi-
sion in the highest court Mr.. Hig-
gins, then governor of New York
state, declined 10 allow Patrick to
be put 10 death but commuted the
sentence TO life Imprisonment.
Patrick has been in the penitenti-
airy ever since but has never for a
moment abandoned his efforts to re-
gain his liberty Within the last few
weeks he had succeeded in again get
ting his case before the courts. This
time his plea is a novel one. He al
leges that the constitution Of New
York state does not allow a governor
10 change any sentence against a
prisoner except 70 tighten II. He
claims that life imprisonment at
hard labor is a far worse punishment
than death by electrocution. and that
Governor Higgins has inflicted upon
him a punishment more severe than
the law allows.
OF course. Patrick can never ne
executed now. The Communication
signed by Governor Higgins cancels
that sentence and Patrick claims he
must be released.
It is highly improbable, however,
that the New York courts will recog-
nize this plea In some ways life
Imprisonment is a more severe pun
ishment than even The death penalty,
bur there are few, If any. prisoners
under sentence of death who will
not grasp at Communication Of the ex-
IRENE penalty Of the law. Patrick at
The time accepted the Communication
withous protest, and unless new evil
ience is discovered, or the governor
acts. he win likely stay in the peni-
.entiary.
This does not take away from the .
fact. however, that Patrick has made .
a wonderful fight for his liberty or
hat the divided court on the anal I
hearing offers some reason for a funl
pardon.

rArnIcWs FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.

Another step has been taken in
the hard fought case Of Anthony
Patrick, Of New York City who was
convicted and sentenced TO death six
years ago for the murder of Mr..
Rice. wealthy citizen of Texas
Mr.. Rice was poisoned in New
York City and suspicion fell upon
Patrick. who had been acting as his
attorney. The evidence was all cir
cumstantial, but Patrick was con-
victed after hard fought trial in
which the accused acted as his own
attorney and did much to eontrovert
the old saying that THE man who
acts as his own attorney has a fool
for his client"
Patrick took the case through all
the courts of the state, acting as his
own attorney throughout. Incident
ally, while in the death cell at Sing
Sing, he gave legal advice, some
times OF value, to several other men
under sentence of death. The YER
diet of the lower court was affirmed
by the New York supreme court and
by the highest tribunal, the New
York court of appeals. In both

LEROY SHAW
Pays His Respects 10 the Preston
County Journal.
LETTER TO PARKERSDURG PAPER


The following letter in the Par.
kersburg State Journal may make
clear the political situation in Pres
ton from Republican standpoint:
KINcwooD, w. VA, June 90.
To the Editor Of the State Journal:
Sir-H. S. Whetsell. postmaster
at Kingwood. secretary of the ia
nous im committee, and editor of
the Preston County Journal, the or
gan of the machine, IN a recent num-
Der of that sheet attempted to explain
to the State Journal why Sam Mont
gomery's name disappeared as editor
OF the Preston Leader. The reason
assigned was that Leroy Shaw, an
ardent Scherr man, was about to
enforce deed of trust that he held
against the plant, to secure the pur
chase money, for the reason that
Montgomery had Topped from Scherr
to Swisher. 1t must be apparent to
all fair-minded Republicans that
Whetsell's main object IN attempting
10 explain this private business trans
action was to gam political advan-
tage through which he might hope
to cover up the deception and glar
ing political fraud SO recently per
petrateG on the rank and file of the
Republican party of Preston county
by the i'm committee-thes SO called
organization of the party-by refus-
ing the fair and reasonable offer of
Auditor Scherr 20 pay all expenses
o; a primary election to correctly
aud honestly arrive at the party's
preference for the very important
Office of governor.
Realizing, as they did, that Preston
was Scherr county, and that any
fair method of selecting delegates
would give the auditor its solid sup
port, primary was turned down
nd district mass conventions sub
stitu,ed, which were published TO
occur ON Iue 81 at the respective
places named in the call, since which
time a coterie composed of the Jim
committee and S. b. Montgomery.
the late champion of a square deal,
met at the office of w. G.. CoDley.

SHADE AND SUNSHINE

A matter that should be looked into
by every householder during the early
summer months is that OF the shade
about the house. So rapidly do many
or the varieties OF shade trees grow
that some pruning is necessary almost
every year II the house is not To be
buried In shade. 1t is a fairly good
rule to follow that the house, as a
whole, should be In the sunshine half
the time. II this is not the case, one
should get busy with az and saw and
let the sunshine In. One need hard
ly be told that when the shade is SO
dense that grass grows with difficulty
about the house, when moss grows on
the roof and mildew appears on books
and furniture IN the house, there is en-
tirely too much Of 1t, not only for the
good and durability OF the house, but
for the health of its inmates. We are
often prone to sympathize with dwell
ers In treeless prairie homes who often
swelter In the July and August sun,
but they are not so much In need OF
pity as those whose dwellings are
swamped In shade and where mildew,
SOW bugs and snalls hold high carni-

they should see that NIL grass and
weeds are kept hoed away clean from
the trunks OF the trees covering a
radius OF two feet. Another thing that
should be done Is to examine the trees
carefully for the detection OF borers.
which work just beneath the bark and
mt or just below the surface OF the
ground The presence or the pests Is
Indicated by the brown, sawdust-Iike
excreta which they cast out through
the bark and on to the ground I'm the
progress OF their destructive gnawing.
A sharp tackknife Is as good tool as
any with which to extract the bsrers

than one season, in which case the mas.
sage In which they are working may
be n long one. In the latter case IL IL
well to determine the direction I'm
which they have gone and then take n
piiabie twig small enough to penetrate
their retreat and prod them vigorously.
IL Ii safe TO say that more individual
apple trees and young orchards perish
from this one cause than oil Others
combined. Unless one Is on the look
out Tor the little pests they will often
DO tree to death before he realizes
what Is the real cause OF the difficulty.
keeping the grass hoed away from
the base OF the tree not only decreases
the likelihood OF the beetles depositing
her eggs. but usually enables the own.
er OF the orchard to see the brown.
sawdust-like evidence OF their work.
In making the examination of the trees
IL Is well to scrape the earth away
from the trunk to a depth OF Mt least
an inch. as sometimes the opening
through which the excreta are cast is
covered up.

LAND FERTILITY

After all, II is not so much the Kind
or crops raised as It is the way they
are raised and the care given the land
that causes land to maintain or lose
Its fertility. In way OF illustration
may be cited English farms which to-
day actually produce larger yields of
roots and grain than they did 600 years
ago or farms In Holland where large
yields Of fax are produced year after
year under careful system of artifi-
cial fertilization. An opposite extreme.
but still further illustrating the truth
or the statement above made. is the
system Of cotton growing which has
been followed In the southern states.
which after from thirty to forty years
has left the soil In many sections well
nigh bankrupt. Another instance OF
SOL depletion Is noticeable I'm the sec
lions or the corn belt I'm the middle
western states. and this I'm spite of the
TACT that corn does not pull heavily OH
the soil and that relatively little at
tention is needed In the matter of fer
tilizatfon and crop rotation TO keep the
productivity Of the soil where II ought
to be. While comparatively little stud
led and consequently but slightly un-
derstood, the question OF n malnte-
nance OF soil fertility is really one of
subtraction and addition I'm that IL
the strength of the land Is to be main
tanned as much must be added to the
soil In the shape of fertilizers OF some
sort as is taken from the soil In the
form OF crops. There is no getting
around the logic OF this situation. A
fellow might as well expect to lift him
self by his boot straps as to expect to
keep up the fertility OF his land when
he Is taking more from 1t every year
In the shape OF crops than he makes
return In the shape OF fertilizers.
