After reviewing the educational op-

LITTLE WOMAN
WANTS PARDON
A Pathetic Case Governor Noel is
Asked to Pass Upon-Much In
terest over State.

Jackson, Miss, April PA strong
petition has been presented to Gov
ernor Noel for the pardon of Mrs.
Thomas, a frail little woman, the
mother of several children, who is
prisoner at Oakley state farm.
Mrs. Thomas is serving time for
manslaughter. She plead guilty to
the charge and was given five years,
but circumstances were such that she
has the sympathy of everyone in
Wayne county who is familiar with the
case.
Mrs. Thomas, with her children, one
of whom is "a girl about II years old
and married, was living near Waynes-
boro. She and her daughter, whose
husband had left her, were working to
support the other three or four small
children, but they were constantly an
noyed by a white man.
He went to the house on the occa-
sion of the killing drunk, from the
best information obtainable here. His
conduct was such that Mrs. Tiny
Thomas, the mother, appealed to a
negro constable for protection. This
negro went to Mrs. Thomas assist
ance, accompanied by another negro
7 A difficulty followed and the ne
groes, or one of them, shot and killed
the white man. The negroes were
tried and convicted and both are serv
! ing time on the Parchman state farm.
Mrs. Thomas case came up for trial,
but she had no money while the evil
dence seemed overwhelming against
her. On the evidence of her attorney,
appointed by the court, the little wo-
man. entered a plea of guilty to man.
slaughter and was given five years.
Her case has created the interest
of many persons throughout the state,
but none more than Governor Noel,
and it is believed, if the facts warrant
it, he will give Mrs. Thomas her free
