THINK GOVERNOR WOULD
STOP PRISON TERMS

Lincoln, Neb., March 3o.-It is
probable no one will be punished
for the killing of Roy Blunt, the
Young farmer who was forced by
three desperate convicts to drive
a sleigh in which they were try
ing to escape a posse pursuing
them for the murder of the war
den and two of his aides in the.
state penitentiary, whom they
shot when they, broke Jail.
Blunt and two of the convicts
were killed by bullets fired by the
posse. The third convict sur
rendered.
The coroner's jury, investigat-
ing the death of the young man,
decided that Sheriff Briggs of
South Omaha was criminally re-
sponsible for Blunt's death, and
that Sheriff Hyers of Lincoln and
Deputy Fire Warden Trouten of
South Omaha were accessories.
The jury recommended that all
three be held to the district court
on manslaughter charge.
The attitude of Gov. Aldrich,
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-03-30

however, precludes the possible
ity of the men being sent to
prison should they be found gull
ty. 1t is believed he will pardon
the men if they are convicted.
A letter from the governor, in
which he said the officers "cour-
ageously performed their duty"
was read to the jury, but they dis
regarded it.
Feeling here is high against
the police officials, and the opin-
ion is that the death of Blunt was
a needless sacrifice of an innocent
man by a posse playing to the
galleries and desiring to capture
the convicts in a spectacular man.
ner. 1t is declared that the men
could have been captured without
firing shot, as they had little
fight left in them. They made
but feeble resistance to the posse,
no member of which was injured.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 30.-That the

nual show of the Inland Empire Poul-
try and Pet Stock association. The fact
that the show comes during Christmas
