Governors Speech
No Hit With Jlms
shallenberger Fails to Please Dahl
NANTES in His Welcome Ad-
dress to W. G. T. U.

Governor Shallenberger's speech at the
Auditorium in welcoming the Women's
Christian Temperance union delegates
doesn't make a hit with very many Of the
local democrats.
HE was here to make a welcoming ad-
dress for the state OF Nebraska" said
one, and had a splendid opportunity to
deliver his famous peroration to the flag.
Instead he shot directly into the political
end and assumed to, pledge the Nebraska
democracy. by implication, to the straight
anti-liquor campaign. Maybe he can de-
liver the goods, but we seriously doubt 1t.
And his illustration of home rule was
neither happy nor apt. There are homes
and horses, and many a home where there
is no sentiment at all for prohibition is
Of vastly greater benefit to the community
and the nation than the childless homes
where only money is worshiped and
sumptuary laws idolized. to the exclusion
OF common sense and a fair degree OF
respect for others opinions"

the transfer did not involve any change In

The roads have practically been owned

HENRY GOES UP FOR LIFE
Young Man Who Kills Wife COntrite
When Sentenced.
EXPRESSES SORROW FOR CRIME
Judge sutton Tells Him ~ May ne
Friends VIII I%ntercede in His
Behalf and Cut ImprfsOn-
ment short.

Frank Henry has received a sentence OF
Imprisonment for life in punishment Of the
murder Of his wife. Maude Galloway Henry,
at the home OF her mother July 3 Of this
year.
Sentence was imposed by Judge Sutton in
district court. A little group Of people
heard Henry say a few words, then re-
marks by his attorneys and by County At
torney English and a few more by the
court. Mrs. Henry sat in a chair behind
her son; VIII Henry, a brother. was also
present, but neither Mrs. Nichols, mother
OF the murdered girl, nor her brother. Ed
ward Galloway, attended the imposition OF
sentence.
Il had a good wife, said Henry, when
the court asked him II he wished to be
heard. Il am sorry she is dead and 1 am
sorry that 1 was the cause Of her death.
1 have not been a criminal. I have
known nothing but hard work, and when
j came home from work, 1 wanted to find
my wife at once. 1 think our troubles
were due to outside Interference.
Il wish to thank the court for appoint
ing my attorneys. and 1 want to thank
them for their work in my behalf. I also
wish to thank you, the county attorney
and court. THAI is ALL"
in Court Speak.
f. f. Morearty Of counsel for Henry
then said, Whatever a curious public
may fancy because this man shot and kills
his wife. he is not a hardened criminal.
His record otherwise is clear. What
brought him here is, 1 think, neglect Of
his mothers wish that he should not ne
glect religious influences and had he kept
in touch with such influences me would
not be in this plight
T. II. Matters, Henry's other lawyer, then
spoke briefly, saying that after working
on the case for three months, it had
seemed wise to Morearty and himself to
make the offer of a plea of guilty to the
county attorney with a life penalty.
you can be a gentleman/ even in the
penitentiary," said Judge Sutton, because
you are sorry that you killed your wife, ]
shall not order that on the anniversary OF
the murder you stay in solitary ~confine-
ment, as is customary.
you are young and because this is the
only charge against you, you may hope
that some day friends may intercede FOL
you and may be successful. This is nc
promise and even to hope you must so live
that you will be an example to the Other
prisoners"
Henry will rot go to Lincoln until Mon.
day or Tuesday.
