GOVERNOR, HOWEVER. WEIGH
ING EVIDENCE GIVEN IN
NEGROES BEHALF.

From Ncnaay $ Daily
Little Rocs Aug. 2G-Robert Arm
strone's case has made a deep impress
sion IN GOV. Donaghey. He Is the
young negro sentenced to hang in Lit
tie Rock September q for assault
and evidence recently at hand tends to
prove has innocence. and to fasten the
crime upon the late J b. Brown, the
notorious Jack the Shooter This
evidence consists of an anonymous let
5er written early IN December which
mas been identified by handwriting ex-
perts as having been written by
Brown. The writer Of this letter ad-
mits mat he and not Armstrong was
guilty Of the crime.
Prosecuting Attorney Rogers is
very positive in his conviction of Arm
strong's guilt, and declares that to
grant him clemency would be to per
NIT "sympathetieally, idiotically uni
formed justice of rule" He further
ridicules the finding the the handwrit-
ing experts, who are cashiers of lead
ing banks, declaring that he can prove
that they cannot tell the difference
between a Chinese laundry ticket and
the hieroglyphics on an ancient Greek
tablet, or a Latin maxim in print
from an inscription on an Alaskan
totem pole
W. A. Boyd, counsel for Armstrong,
working faithfully without fee, has
presented his proof to the Governors
consideration, and the governor is be-
leved to have arrived at a conclusion.

BOYS MUST STAY
l4O DAYS IN JAIL
HABEAS CORPUS DENIED
TWO PRISONERS MUST SERVE
OUT S105 AT RATE OF IS
CENTS PER DAY.

From Saturdays Daily.
Unless some one comes to their re-
lief, Sherman Duncan and Ed Presley
must remain prisoners in the Faux
ner county jail for about 140 days,
(which period will be required for
them to serve out balance of about
sos due as fine and costs upon con-
yiction on the charge of disturbing
a public gathering. Before County
Judge j. A. Lea yesterday Col. G.
". Bruce, attorney for Duncan and
Presley, applied for writ of habeas
corpus, asserting that as the prison
ers had discharged their fine, they
could not be held for the costs after
others jointly convicted had been
freed. Prosecuting Geo. W. Clark
contended on behalf of the state that
the court had made a special order
taxing the costs among the defend
ants, and the only way in which the
two could be released would be to pay
off the balance or remain in jail until
it was discharged, at the rate Of 70
cents per day.
The court took the question under
advisement until this morning, de-
cision unfolding the contention of the
state was rendered The total fine
and costs assessed against each de-
PENDANT was S132, of which $40 repre-
scented the fine and SIP the costs. The
two boys have already served over 80
$27.50 credit. Their total sentence
days, which entities them to about
will, therefore, amount to nearly two
thirds of years Imprisonment.
In discussing the question at the
courthouse this morning, some of the
officers, while feeling that the punish
ment was unusually severe, were
doubtful whether the prisoners could
be freed, even by pardon by the gov
ernor. 1t is suggested by some that
the governor, while having the power
to relieve the payment of fine, can
not pardon the costs in criminal
case.

THE CITY OF BEAUTIFUL SMOKE.

Robert Haven Schauffler writing in the Marcch Metropolitan. says: "l never come within range of tthe uni que spell of modern Pittsburg with out wishing that I might personally conduct thither the sage who menda- ciously declared that there is nothing new under the sun. For PittsburS is something new.
 Prom any of tthe city's hundred hills one can enjoy more varieties of smoke in an hour than there are kinds of cloud in q month. These range all the way from fairy shavinSs of ice. and curls of driven snow. through geological strata of pure cream. mis- chievous. evanescent ringlets of blush white. smudges faintly tinGed with olive, aerial blushes of delicate rose. trees of orange and rusty red through hundred tones of gray, from the most ethereal fawn to sheer brutal dirt, then deepening to black as rich as the glossy, tarry coal from which it sprang.
 "One convenient thing about the smokescape is that you can enjoy some part of it wherever you happen to be. Looking west along the canon of Fourth avenue one morning the lower parts of the office buildings were quite obliterated by a dense, low-lying bank of soft. dusky smoke. But as the eye travelled upward this cloud began to thin, until. when it reached the cornices, every detail of them stood out sharply in the sunligh; against sky of pale sapphire. Such effects are as interesting as they are characteristic of the place"
