the boy might be allowed to come home
in order that he might see his old
mother, who was believed to be upon
her death bed.
upon this, pardon was granted
March 2, 1911"
7 This pardon was especially asked
for by Rev. DR.. VIM. A. c. Mueller,
pastor of the st. Matthew'S German
Lutheran church, of the city of Char
lesion. At the time the pardon was
granted, Rabens had served all but
about 80 days of three year SEN
tence. I released him that he might
go home and see, his old mother who
was believed to be upon her death bed.
The accusation that Rabens gave
$4,000 to save -nself from imprison-
men for 80 days, when he had already
served nearly three years, is not only
a wilful falsehood, but unreasonable.
1 submit herewith affidavits from Rab-
ems, and from DR.. Mueller denying this
charge of Felder's. I leave it to the
people of South Carolina, if they pre-
fer to believe Thomas B. Fielder, fu-
gitive from the justice of the State of
South Carolina, a man filed with
venom and spite, a corruptionist and
coward, in preference to DR.. Mueller,
Christian minister, whose whole life
has been one of devoted service to the
Prince of Peace and Mercy. who has
been and is now doing so much for the
faith of the great Lutheran denomina--
| tions of this State.

Dear Sir: I wish to again call your
attention to the petition for pardon OF
Frank w. Bentley, which has been
pending before you for a long time
and which you have lot finally dis
posed of as far as 1 know, and also
call your attention to the fact that I
sent you in August last, at your re-
quest, draft for s25 to cover his ex-
penses from Columbia to his home
here, which you still have in your
possession.
This boy has now served about four
years for the commission of, as we
believe, slight offense which was
committed under extenuating circum-
stances, and it seems to me has been
more than punished for the act. The
man whose name was forged has no
ill feeling towards him and would like
to see him released. hope you can
find justification in granting him a
pardon in the very near future.

ton, however, that the newspapers of
your State have knowingly withheld
from you, am going to tell you some
thing of William J. Burns and his
cohorts. This newspaper combination
has attempted to make you believe that
Burns, and those who work for him,
are high-toned gentlemen, although
they had information to the contrary.
The regulations of these hirelings may
perhaps be unknown to you, but they
are known to me, and it is my duty to
tell you what kind of cattle they are.
Since it became known that the Burns
crowd was bounding me down, letters
and telegrams have come to me from
various sections of the continent Civ
ing me information of the dirty meth
ods of this detective agency. Without
consuming much time about the rec
ords and regulations of this gang,
wish to call to your attention the fact
that they have been denounced by two
of the most prominent men in the
United States-President William H.
Taft and Hon. George W Wickersham,
attorney general of the United States.
This denunciation of Burns and his
coworkers was due to the fact that it
was proved to the department of the
attorney general of the United States
that one Willard n. Jones had been
unjustly convicted Of crime by false
testimony presented to court by
Burns and his men, and that the jury
returning the verdict Of conviction had
been packed by these infamous scoun-
drels. President Taft pardoned Jones
on the showing made to him. Mr..
Wickersham, in recommending that
the president grant the pardon, stated

in the ranks of the Democracy and will
deeply influence the final result of the
