lcsS ucRIet, uIOHncu nndncldl JuQ6- ment in the milk of human kindness unless it happened to be one of Gods unfortunates in whose veins ice water flowed instead of good, warm blood
 The moment the verdict in this case was rendered, the penalty was paid. James P. Storm stood dis graced. His own weakness and the malicious cunning of so called friends stood exposed, while faithful wife and loving daughter, both among the most estimable of women, were [ wounded so fatally unto death that the man is fool who thinks him self a sufficient surgeon to stop the inward bleeding.
 Other prime facts in this eOnnec- ton exist, but the crime has been committed, the sacrifice offered, and maliciousness alone would be the motive to spread the area of the wreekage.
 James P. Storm is not an ignorant man, but he was fitted by neither nature, training nor environment. to make an efficient county treasurer. To get the best in our form of gov ernment, from a moral point of view, the voters of Yavapai county are by no means guiltless. Pure, free gov ernment demands that men do not be elected to office for ulterior pur- poses, and simply they are "good fellows" and no man be appointed to office because he has Ca pull, "I but because he is fitted for the place and must sacrifice, not gain, to oe- cupy it.
 The law is a high and holy thing, but not everything within the sta tutes can stand the test, or, is en- titled to such a holy name. A trae- ing back to its origin, to the usual method of the average legislature, makes the Just Judge writhe in his interpretations, fills him with disgust, causes justice to weep and intelli- genee to frantieally attempt suicide to hide her shame
 This office has on file a petition in behalf of James P. Storm, praying his pardon, of nearly six hundred names. In addition, there are many personal letters from among the best and most prominent men of Yavapai county, petition from nearly, if not quite. all of his bondsmen.
 Once before I have forebOrn in this matter. To again forbear would be the qualification of my intelligence and my individuality. That, I shall not knowingly do. If I believe I am right, I had rather go my way among men defiant of their scorn, than go mems ways and scorn myself.
 I did not seek this office or it's responsibilities, but so long as I hold it I shall meet those responsibilities, as went the men who bore my blood of old, to prove their dream of heaven or dare their hell.
 These being the facts and a DOT ton of my sentiments, as above ex- pressed, and fully believing that justice has been protected, good busi- ness judgment dictates that neither the taxpayers of Arizona, nor this grand commonwealth gains by the further detention of the said James P Storm.
 Now, Therefore, I, George U. Young, acting governor of Arizona, by virtue of the power and authority in me by law in that behalf, do here by grant unto the said James P. Storm a full and unconditional par don of the crime aforesaid, and do order that he be released from i'm pri.onment forthwith from the Ter ritorial penitentiary at Florence. Arizona, and that his full rights of citizenship be by him restored.
 In Witness Whereof. I have here unto set my hand set my hand and caused the great seal of the Territory to be efixed.
 Done at the City of Phoenix, the Capital, this fourteenth day of June, nineteen hundred and ten.

 By the Acting Governor.
