u-h,r,+on Aug s1-The President has Or
aered the nardon of William Judge, a Cherokee
indian how serving life sentence at Fort Leav-
n,ortb FOR murder. Behind this matter OF fact
item, ts a story that would serve for the founda-
t,o, of a first class theatre thriller, for Judge
uras convicted of killing rival in love, and his
ey,ae.heart who testified at his trial and aided
the prosecution in convicting him. now comes
forward to say that she compelled TO per-
t,,re herself then, and that Judge is innocent
Charley Sunday, another Cherokee boy, was
Judges rival and Caroline Goings the belle of
the Indian village in the territory, the OBJ
iect of their affections One morning Sundays
body was fshed out CT the Illinois River, and
the physicians said that certain finger marks
around his neck proved that he strangied
to death before being thrown into the water.
Sunday was much larger boy than Judge. but
in spite of that fact the latter was accused Of
killing him and throwing his body into the river
A number of witnesses testified that they had
heard Judge declare that he would do away
with Sunday and the girl in the swore
that he had assured her that she would never
see Sunday again.
All this happened early in 1902 Since then
a number of the witnesses have experienced a
change of heart, and Judges friends have pro-
duced proof of perjury sufficient to convince
the President and Attorney General that the
prisoner is entitled to pardon.
