Petition for Pardon.

To His Excellency, Gov. E. r. Noel. Governor
Of Mississippi,
We, the undersigned citizens of Mississippi,
respectfully request your Excellency to grant a
pardon to Judge Brooks, a negro boy who was
convicted Of manslauahter at the. February
term 1910, Of the Circuit Court Of Lee county.
Mississippi, and sentenced to serve a term Of
20 years in the State penitentiary.
This boy was not quite sixteen years OF age
when this homicide was committed and his
father who was jointly indicted with him has
since been tried and acquitted. We further
belive that if said prisoner could obtain a par
don now that he would be a better negro than if
he was held longer and that he has suffered
sufficiently for said crime, he having been in
the pcnitentiary about IL years.
Respectfully Submitted,
32-5t JUDGE BROOKS.
And Others.

trying to find the door when Dunn and
Corneau, with handkerchiefs over their
mouths. felt their way into the rooms and
found them. They were carried to the
street below, where men swaddled them
in evsrcoats and took them into the Hoff-
man undertaking parlors, four doors north

Mrs. Hagen, was asleep in another room

strange to her.

Letters AID Cards Addressed
to Them.

sale, Neb., are in Omaha rocking about
after the disposition of their uncles body.

farm January IL and his body was taken to
the Gentleman undertaking establishment

Medical college

that the relatives did not care for the old
man in his declining years. He also insists
that the county authorities had plenty OF
ways Of finding the addresses Of his reIa-
tives. They say that the reason that the
relatives had not called at the poor farm
to sec Mr.. Davitz was because he was well
enough to go around town to visit them.
They say that he was not able to write
well and that he had in his possession
stamped letters and postal cards all ad-
dressed. by which his relatives could have
been found
Mr. Abendroth says there was no dispose
ton on the part OF the relatives to neglect
Davitz, He says that he lived on the farm
at Resale with him for over a year, but
was taken sick and came to Omaha, being
provided with money to go to St. Joseph's
hospital. That the next he heard from
Dayitz was that he had gone TO the Door
farm. He says also that he had sent
Davitz a box OF clothing, and that when
he was in Omaha last fall at the carnival
Davitz had come from the poor farm to
visit with him and his wife for q day. He
insists that had the authorities used proper
diligence they would have had no trouble
in reaching the relatives Of Davitz.

st, Valentines Day in
Omaha Forty Three
Years Ago Recalled
Aaron R. Hoel Recounts Gala Incident
That Happened HereabOuts
Many Years Ago.

st. Valentines day forty-three years ago
was big holiday in Omaha. 1t was an
ideal day for a hanging out in the open,
and hanging out there was, witnessed by
thousands of men, women and children
gathered here from many miles around.
Aaron r. Hoel, a pioneer resident Of this
city recalls the incident, for, being sheriff
OF Douglas county at that time, he was
one Of the central figures in the at
traction.
The man who paid the death penalty on
this day was a young fellow, Ottawa @.
Baker, convicted of the murder Of a man
named Higgins, who was a clerk in w. r.
Kings wholesale grocery store. Baker was
a porter at the same place. During the
day Of the murder about 1900 had been
taken In at the wholesale house and it
was placed in the safe Bakers girl had
gone to Kansas and In his ardent desire
to follow and be with her he laid plans to
get the money. He murdered Higgins,
opened the safe, and after taking the
money hid II in a tin box on Twelfth
street between Howard and jackson. He
was tried, convicted and sentenced TO hang
You have no idea of the way the wo-
men flocked to the scene of the hanging
which was on the prairie back of the site
of the present high school building" said
Mr. Hoel in speaking of the incident of
years ago. They actually made a martyr
of him, coming to the scene for many miles
around ali decked out In their Sunday
best Sure, they would do the very same
thing today II they were given the oppOr-
tunity, but by law all hangings are now
conducted In a rather secret way at the
state prison, Some were attracted, OF
course, by morbid curiosity, but many
were inclined to make a martyr of the prls-
oner more out OF pity because Of his fate
than by the nature Of his deed. Women
are just the same today; let a man go on
trial in any of the state courts and the
first thing you know they will be sending
him flowers"
Mr.. Hoel recounts that Just before the
hanging the prisoner was escorted to the
scaffold by a guard composed Of firemen,
armed with muskets. The guard was In
charge of Sheriff Hoel. After the hanging
the body was secured by some enterpris-
ing individual who mounted it and had it
on exhibition here for long time.

sible by a donation of $4,000 given by Mr.
Carriers widow, now Mrs. f. ]. Cornish of

late Levi Carter is the result of Mrs
COrnish's generous gifts to the city. All
told, she has contributed SSS,5OO towards the
park
ElmwoOd park comes in for the second
largest appropriation, but the money ex-
pended does not compare with the amount
set aside for Carter park. All expenses
including keepers salary, totalled 1851. "A
