PARDON PETITIONS
POURING IN ON
BREWER
FOUR MURDERS SENT UP FROM
NEsHo6A coUNTY-wERE ie-
NoRANT WHEN CONFESSED.

Pardon petitions are pouring in on
Governor Brewer in punches, and
some of the petitioners seem to be
iaborfng under the impression that
the pardon mill is grinding in whole
sale fashion.
The latest illustration of how they
want to escape servitude, and of the
Inconsistencies often contained in ap-
peals for clemency, comes from Neo-
shoba county, in the form of the re-
quest for pardons for four murderers
now serving life terms for the killing
of Tom Smith
The petitioners are John Roberts
Scott. Donald, Duncan Donald and
John Wells. They claim that the
evidence against them was purely
circumstantial with the exception of
some confessions" that they are
Ignorant and did not know what they
We're doing when pleas of guilty we're
entered, that they were in
Veigied into the affair by
John Henson. an older man,
whose purpose was to shield himself
from prosecution. Just how the at
torney who presents the petition
is going to reconcile the several YER
slons is rather difficult to imagine.
Another petition is in behalf of G.
/. Wallace, convicted in Copiah coun-
W in 1910 for murder, and sentenced
for life. Wallace killed man while
he was serving as town marshal at
Wassom, and it is claimed that he be-
lieved he was acting in self-defense.
aienough neither the magistrate at
the preliminary trial, the grand fury,
the trial Judge or the Supreme Court
could see 1t that way.

This IL in brief. the ruling Of Assistant
Attorney General Van Duyn, given In
response to q query from an election
Judge at Cambridge.
The assistant attorney general makes
his construction clear In the following
answer to the election judges query:
I'm reply to your letter Of Oct. %.
1912. asking whether or not q vote
should be counted for q candidate
whose name IL written in the ballot
and opposite which q cross has not
been placed. I beg to say that We find
in the election laws Of the state Of
Idaho. three provisions bearing upon
this question.
Section 424, among other things
provides that a name may be voted
for. by: FILLING In or writing in the
name Of the person for whom he
wishes to vote in the blank space pro-
vided therefor in the column or d.
vision Of the ticket for that purpose
provided and marking a cross opposite
thereto
I'm section 406, 1t Is provided that
a name may be voted for, BY writing
in the blank ticket the names of the
persons he desires to vote for. and
placing cross on the right Of the
names in the circle
Were these tho only sections in
our laws pertaining to elections. there
would be no question but that q name
should not be counted II the person
a cross opposite 1t. But in section 404,
revised codes. we find this provision:
Nothing in this title contained
shall prevent any voter from writing
on his ticket the name OF any person
for whom he desires to vote for an
office. and such vote shall be counted
the same as II printed upon the ballot
and marked by the voter. The voter
may place a cross opposite the name
he has written, but his having writ
ten the name Of his choice IL suffi-
cient evidence that such is the person
for whom he desires to vote.
you will observe that in this Sec
ton 404, the law says. nothing in this
title shall prevent . man from be-
ing counted where the voter has writ
ten in the name. and 1t explicitly
says that having written the name is
sufficient evidence that such IL the
person for whom he desires to vote. AS
all Of these sections. 404, 405 and 424,
fall within the same title, 1t, there
fore. follows by reason OF the excep-
ton made in 404. that 1t Is not nee
essary to place the cross after a writ
ten name. and 1t must. therefore. fol-
low that \the name having once been
written in that II shall be counted.
at is, of course. the better practice
both to write and place the cross at
ter the name. but the writing. under
the law, will be sufficient evidence OF
the intent OF the voter to justify the
