a Mothers Appeal.

One OF the most interesting let
ters ever received at the Govern
or's office, interesting in the
sense of being a human document,
Is that which Mrs. NJ. E. Springfield
of Greenville, wrote, imploring the
Governor to parole or pardon her
son, Young Springfield, who killed
his father in 1908, at their home
in the Monaghan Mill village. The
story she tells of brutal treatment
long continued on the part of a
drunken husband and father is cor
roborated by testimony given be-
tQre the coroner's jury. The moth
er> says she is in urgent need of
the boys services, the next oldest
child being girl and the two
younger children being under the
age at which children are allowed
TO work in the mills. Young
Sprin gfield himself is only IS. Judge
Robert Aldrich writes: THE pris-
oncr labored under tren.sn ious
provocation. At the time he fired
on his father he was engaged in
combat with his father, after wit
Messing the most violent abuse of
Lis mother at the hands of her
husband. Still l did not think it
necessary for him to kill his father
and for this reason / think ne
ought to suffer Imprisonment for
one year. / gave him the lightest
sentence the law allowed and
would have limited it to one year
If / could" Solicitor P. A. Bon
ham agrees with Judge Aldrich.
