mally petitioned President Taft for
full pardon for Fred D. Warren, editor
of the Socialist paper the Appeal to
Reason, convicted of misusing the
mails by offering a reward Jan. IL,

he is wanted on charge of murder

his formal application for pardon
after briefly reviewing the case Con-
gresham Campbell says: II believe it
to be in the interest of justice that
full and complete pardon be issued TO

dren. I respectfully urge an early ex~
animation into the merits Of this ap-
plication, confidently believing that
when you have ali the facts in the
case you will be impressed, as ] am,
and issue a pardon TO Mr.. Warren.
Warren based his action In advertis-

the action Of the authorities in taking
Haywood. Meyer and Pettibone from a
train during the troubles between
mine owners and the Western Fedora
ton Of Miners in the west and convey
