REFUSES KENT A REPRIEvE

Not Consider Case Unless some
New Evidence IL Presented.

Gov. John A. Mead has refused
TO make any intercession TO save
Murderer Elroy Kent, who Is sem
fenced TO be hanged at the states
prison at Windsor on January 6,
when Superintendent W s. Lowell
OF the prison interviewed him In
this city In Kent's behalf Superin-
tendent Lowell made the application
on the ground that Kent should not
be hanged because he Is insane, as
representative OF the views Of a
great many persons In the state who
nave been interested in saving Kent
from the gallows.
Governor Mead refused 10 take
any action 10 the matter because no
new evidence bearing on the affair
entered into the application.
The governor said In his refusal
u fear that have no right to
interfere In these cases unless new
facts had been discovered. Kent has
been tried by jury OF i2 men pre-
sided over by judge OF the su-
preme court. and was convicted. He
then had a hearing before the legis-
iatare which by large majority
refused 70 interfere"

of recent swindles, three Of them, the
perpetrators Of which have escaped
arrest and punishment. Each trans
action involved upwards Of $4,000. Two

in one case $500 was recovered, and in
the other $4,000 was returned to the
exclusively by the sheriff's office and
nothing was recovered, nor were any
arrests made.

churlishly anxious to police the city

ACTS OF FREAK GOVERNORS

1t is singular to what extent Cover
nors are dcvoting themselves to, anc
using their offices for, the purpose OF
! demonstrating that criminals are as
good members of society as anv one
else. The Governor of Arizona not
| long ago made himself n sensational
| figure by dining with the convicts, by
trusting them. by giving them large
opportunities to escape, and by using
extraordinary methods to give them
advantages over the ordinary citizen.
Governor West Of Oregon also has
devoted himself to the coddling of the
prisoners in the penitcntiary of that
State, trusting them largely, and, rs we
are informed, materially depicting the
numbers of the convicts by allowing
many escapes. Governor West has also
refused to allow the law providing for
capital punishment TO be enforced in
oregon, and has put upon the ballot
for the election next fall the pronosi.
tlon whether capital punishment shall
be continued in that State, which is to
be decided by a vote of the people, the
law providing for capital punishment
being in the meantime unlawfully set
aside by the Governor
And now Governor Donahey of Ar
kansas has made a stronger bid than
any of them for sensational popularity
among the emotional class, He has par
doned all the women convicts in the
State prison, alleging as a reason that
he does not believe that place is fit
for the detention of women Among
those whom he releases by this extra
ordinary and sensational executive or !
Ter, is woman who had been SEN
fenced to be hanged for murder, and |
mother who was convicted of poison.
ng her husband so that she might, af-
.er his death, marry a younger man.
f 1T is true that the State prison of
Arkansas is not fit place for the de-
entlon oil women, ii is probably true
llso that it is not a fit place for the
detention of men. And if it is not
1t place for the detention of men, why
hould not men be released by execu~
i've order in the same way that the
yomen are released There ought to
e no such thing as sex in Grimm ality.
o be sure, it seems revolving to hang
woman convicted of capital crime.
ut 1T is not fit that woman convict
capital crime should be released
n the mere whim Of Governor. A I
oman murderer could we'll be SEN ;
enced to the State prison for life and i
etaIned there as long as she lives, for I
woman murderer is lust as dangerous 6
society, and perhaps in some cases /
yen more so, than n man murderer. l
The whole series of freak acts looks L
us very much like sort Of compe- C
ton among Governors to see which i
IN do the most, striking and sensa. a
onal things with respect to criminals {
hlch they may have to do with It k
