Jesse B. Slade Pardoned.

Wednesday afternoon. Cover.
nor Brewer announced that after
having had the application under
serious consideration of several
weeks, he had decided to issue an
unconditional pardon to Jesse B.
Slade, who since January, 1905,
has been an inmate Of the state
penitentiary in Mississippi, serv.
ing q lite.term.
From what can be learned Gov.
Brewers executive clemency
was procured by the strong pres.
sure brought to bear upon him
by the Penitentiary Board ofCon.
troll: which had unanimously rec.
commended SHADES pardon for
meritorious conduct. This rec.
ommendation by the penitentiary
trustees was made repeatedly to
Gov. Noel. and when Gov. Brewer
went in Office, it was renewed t,
him. It is said the trustees were
not only anxious for his release
on account Of his good conduct.
but they were convinced Of bis
innocence.
Another thing which power.
fully influenced the Governor
was the affidavit made by Mrs.
William Miller-widow Of the
murdered lnan- that her testi-
mony on the trial Of the case was
wholly false. Those familiar
with the Slade case will recall
that it was by Mira. Miller's test.
imony that the State furnished
the jury with q motive for the
murder Of her husband. She
swore, in substance, that she had
been SHADES mistress for = mum.

The first fatality to mar the

are Speeding from all over the

Hattiesburg, Monday morning,
when the first section of the Con-

outright and injuring a number
Of others. The dead railroad
employees were the engineer, w.
A. Woods, and Cicero Drona, his
colored fireman, who met death
at their posts.
The other two trainmen killed
were riding on the engine when
they met their death.
The train was running at thirty
miles an hour when the engine
left the track, carrying with It
one dav coach, one chair car and
three tourist sleepers. Two Of
the tourist sleepers went thru

Means Dismissal of Severa
Hundred Informations Re.
sulting from Hall Mi.
chel.Aswell Primary.
Reversing the lower court AMI
npholding the contention of J. G
Henriques, who wrote the Law
and was one of those who argued
the case both before Judge Baker
and on the appeal, the Supreme
Court Monday decided the i'm.
portant primary-assistance cast
and ordered the discharge O,
Edward Breffeihl, who was one
OF several hundred defendants
picked out for the test. All the
other cases will. of course, fall
with the Brefeihl decision.
The case grew out of the gu.
bernatorial and senatorial pri.
mary of last January. The Good
Government League, based on
opinions Of George W. Flynn,
=. Il. Farrar, G. P. Fenner and
other lawyers. maintained that q
voter had no right to ask assis.
tance in preparing his ticket.
The Michel lawyers took the op-
posite view and maintained that
each voter could get help in max.
ing his ballot.
District Attorney Adams, in q
statement afew days before the
election, took the same position
as the League and asserted that
he would prosecute any voter,
registered under the educational
qualification, who ask or accepted
assistance, unless he was blind
or otherwise physically disabled.
Attorney General Guion prac-
tically concurred with the view
of Mr.. Adams.
The day before the election
Governor Sanders issued q proc.
lamation telling the voters they
lad the right to ask for assist.
ance ard saying that il the Dis.
trict Attorney attempted to
prosecute them be would sus.
pend that officer and put the At.
torney General in charge of the
Office.
After the election several hun.
dred informations we're fled. |
Governor Sanders kept his |
promise and took the cases Of
several hundred alleged violators |
Of the law out Of the hands Of |
Mr.. Adams.
It was finally agreeded that |
the Bre6eihl case should be made
. test. General Guion repre-.
sented the State in the trial and
maintained that Brefeihl. who
was . man Of education, could
not ask for assistance. Bret.
feihl admitted that he had asked
the assistance because be did not
know ell. the candidates in the
primary favored BY the Michel
side, which he was supporting.
Messrs. G. G. Lusenberg,
Lionel Adams, Joseph Generely.
Walter Z. Gleason. ]. G. Henri.
ques and other lawyers repre-
sented Bre6eihl.
Judge Baker held Bre6eihl
guilty on the ground that the
primary law contemplated that
each voter should cast his ballot
wishout assistance. An appeal
was thereupon taken to the Su.
preme Court.
Justice Provosty was the or.
gan Of the court. Justice Land
wrote q concurring opinion but
said the General Assembly
should make the law more clear.

and corrective Of corporate abuses.
Mr.. Propty pointed out the necessity

Senator Williams made an appeal fol
a better standard among the States in
granting charters TO corporations pro-
posing to do interstate business and
demanded that State charters be subject
to Federal supervision before corpora
tions be permitted to engage In such
business. ......
The two speakers differed upon the
enforcement OF this sort Of Federal su
pervision. Senator Williams contended
for specific law. leaving nothing TO bu.

gued that some tribunal with power tc
