TAKE A YEAR TO
HANG JUNKINS
Murderer Of ottumwa Girl Cannot be
Legally Executed Until After
Year ~ Penitentiary.

Burlington Gazette: "They talk
about letting the law take its course
in the case of Junkin the murderer of
Clara Rosen in Ottumwa," said a we'll
known attorney today. Il believe that
the law should take it's course too
but In the Junkin case, and in the
case of every other brutal convicted
murderer, the laws course in meeting
out the punishment due the crime is
quite leisurely.
Judging from the newspaper
stories have read, it is quite evident
that Junkin is the guilty man. How
ever, later reports Indicate that he will
make fight for his life. 1t seems
though that the police have thorough
case against him and can corroborate
his confession in every particular.
IF everything goes well and Jun
kin's case is proved beyond the ques-
ton of reasonable doubt before jury
and he is convicted of murder in the
first degree, it is either Imprisonment
for life or hanging for him. We will
say that the sentence of death is i'm
posed. Will he be speedily and neat
up executed and made in some meas
ure to suffer the terror and anguish
that he inflicted upon his victim be-
fore she succumbed to his brutal
blows? Not much. The law in this
regard mercifully provides that MT
Junkin shall be confined in the peni-
tertiary at Ft. Madison for one year
before the sentence of the court is
carried into effect.
"A great many things are liable to
happen in the course of a year. Some
things might occur that would secure
the murderer reprieve. Later pa
role and pardon might be obtained
and the beast is again turned loose
on society.
"The present legislature should
change this law and cut out the years
respite. Only one man has been legal
ly hanged in this state in the last
twenty years. We are due for an
other, but is should be carried out be-
fore year has elapsed

the trouble by coming into the saloon
and trying to pick a quarrel, calling
him all kinds of hard names. To avoid
trouble, Robertson went out of the sa-
loon and started home but he says
that Scott followed him with the stove
poker and chased him.
While on the run he turned and
fired two shots. Last evening he said
he shot right at Scott but this morn
ing he said that he fired the shots in
the air, Scott stopping after the sec
ond shot.
He says that he then went home
and returned down town after supper
and met the officers who arrested him.
The revolver belonged at the saloon
and he was carrying it home. He
works at the saloon and says that he
had been feeding Scott all winter. Civ
ing him lunch and acting as a friend
to him. He says that Immediately at
ter shooting some one came up
and asked him for the revolver and
he gave it up, but does not know to
whom he gave it.
Got Thirty Days.

court this morning and was simply
charged with carrying concealed
weapons. He entered plea of guilty
and was sentenced to thirty DAYS in
the city Jail.
When asked by the court what the
trouble had been, he told the same
story as given above.

to promote justice and mercy, mitigate

to every living thing, to influence leg
islation, educate the people and see
that the laws are obeyed
The tremendous wrong of cruelty
must be righted before we are a
civilized nation. She said that the
heather would not tolerate the signs
of cruelty which are seen upon our
streets every day The world is weary
OF cruelty and suffering and is in need
of kindness and christianity. Cruelty
is TIE devils trade mark and nothing

pathy for animal life which was felt

Are not five sparrows sold for two

During the evening Mrs. Rood mer.
toned the practice in Keokuk Of
hauling a dog through the streets to
the police station to be killed, as one
thing which is unsightly and inhuman
and also spoke of the large number of

many caused from broken binders
which should be cut off

Rev. Morse.
Rev. M. Rowena Morse gave a
splendid talk when introduced and she
was frequently interrupted by APP
plause. She said that a modern vir
tue had come to us in this beautiful
city and a great opportunity was be-
fore us with the chance to organize
the humane society
In ancient times in -,ome, the peo-
pie took their greatest delight in see
ing acts OF cruelty in the ampitheatere
which ran red with blood, but as time
advanced, the nobler sweeter. higher
things have developed and with them
has come the precious treasure OF
sympathy, the noblest mark of a
mans character. A man with SYM
pathy can be depended upon, no mat
ter ii he appears to have other faults.
Once 1t was enough for a man to
protect himself. and his family. Then
he must protect his tribe and then his
nation. With the coming of wars and
selfish savagry when one nation
wished little more land there came
a desire to take advantage of a weak
er nation and with savagry is desire
to he cruel to ANYTHING that is weak.
Benevolence because there will be
some return, is a very small act.
Mercy that computes to what it can
be extended, is not worthy of the
name of mercy. The sentiment of
kindness must be developed in us SO
that we cannot see the suffering of
anything, before we can sympathize
for our people.
The speaker was glad of the move
ment, not so much for the help it
would be to the dumb animals. but for
the help it would be for the humans.
We who have received so many
blessings, should be kind to all and
extend kindness TO those beings lower
than ourselves, as those above us
look down and protect us. We will
feel better in Keokuk after we have
a humane society. There is something
different about a town which has such
