The effort TO convict Hull and Louis
Berg was made BY the law and order
element of the south end of the coun-
ty. They regarded it as a triumph of
decency when convictions followed
their prosecutions
The action of Governor Marshall in
pardoning Hull comes as a blow to
their campaign. 1t is deeply resented
by them. They do not understand why
the governor would interfere in a mat
ter that is wholly OF local concern
The news that the pardon had been
secured was given out in Hammond bv

people OF Lake County say that not
only is Marshall pardoning Lake county
murderers but he is pardoning petty
criminals well.

The Taft delegates to the district

him out off to the policemen the bunch
would go, the bailor only to find that
the joke was on him. Then he bought
