that her own ignorance of the law, the

Ter lack of funds kept her from urging
an appeal to a higher court. She re-
viewed the additional facts that the
petitioners brought to the Council.
Dwelling upon her brothers early
life as brought out by County Attor-
ney Howard. she reviewed the days
wien Haynes was evading the officers.
In those dark days" said Mrs.
Rogers. I'VE did not know but that he
might come to us. And we then deter
mined that we should give him up to
the law, for he had committed a crime
for which he ought to be punished.
Gentlemen" continued Mrs. Rogers
''it would have taken years for that
man to acquire the reputation that
those newspaper stories would give

liberty. Is there anything in the breast
of man that would so arouse the pas

punishment ahead of him? And then a
good priest came and his whole life
was changed He has led noble life
from that time. The only thing that
has opposed his pardon has been the
persistence of people to regard him rs
