PRISONER PLEADS IN
VERSE FOR CHANGE

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-When Walter
]. Fette, alias Walter Williams. was
placed on trial for robbery In the FIRST
degree before Judge Rosalsky IN Gen
eral Sessions il became known that he
had written poem to District Attor-
new Whitman in which he aske- for
clemency and said he had never had a
chance.
Fette was arrested as he was leav-
ing Auburn Prison, where he lad fin-
ished a four-year term for assault and
robbery. The indictment upon which
he is now being tried was found in
1901. and he is charged with stealing
$4,000 in money and jewelry from Miss
Marie Heink. the sister-in-law Of Nine.
Schumann-Heink, the singer. The
robbery took place in the Victoria An
mex, at 1i44 Broadway, on December
II, 1907, and Miss Heink was severely
beaten by Fctte and his assistants. it
is asserted. IN his poem to Mr.. Whit
man he says:
When the liberated convict bids adieu
to durance vile
And he passes through the Office with
an eighteen-karat smile:
When he grabs his railway ticket with
mental song and dance.
Can't you break away a little and give
a man a chance?
When liberty has met him on the
rocky road of time
With whispers Of a picture that has
naught to do with crime.
Don't throw the iceberg shoulder or
the cold. suspicious glance,
But be little lenient and give a man
a chance.
When you see him struggle onward,
trying hard to do the right,
And you see him fighting gamely and
the goal is just in sight
Help your fallen brother: don't dis
courage him with "cants."
And I bet I'll hold my own, IL 7 only
get a chance.

ANSWER:
My opinion of that Dalton suggestion might
not be fit to print.
In fact it makes me piping hot, even at
this late day, to think Of the ovation that
Sherman got in Georgia, some 80 years ago.
Gen. Grant was a civilized soldier, and
never exceeded the stern necessities Of war.
But Sherman's vandalism and looting in
Georgia and South Carolina were unmitigated
barbarities. There was nothing to be gained,
from military point Of view, by the burn
ing of Atlanta and Columbia.
In his Memoirs, Gen. Sherman confesses,
cynically, that he accused Hampton Of setting
fire to Columbia; and that his motive for
doing so was, to make Hampton unpopular.

CONCLUDED FROM PAGE oNE.)

Does Mr.. Ropes know that John Browns
son demonstrated with his father, that bloody
night on the Pottawatomie, and always after
wards condemned those atrocities?
Let him send 81 to Mrs. Sara I. d. Robin
son, Oalzridge, Lawrence, Kansas, and secure
copy of DR.. Geo. w. Browns book.
If anything will convince him of his error,
that book will
John Browns lawlessness, in Kansas, was
a hindrance, rather than help, to the Free
State party. Hence, they drove him out
John Browns raid on Harpers Ferry was a
hindrance, rather than help to the Adolf
ton cause.
Hence, Lincoln excused him, as lunatic,
in his Cooper Union speech; and the Repub
hcan convention of 1860 denounced the crime
in the strongest language. John Brown had
to be repudiated, first in Kansas, and then
in the national platform Of the Republicans,
before the leaders could hope to make any
further progress.
To compare such blood-thirsty fanatic
with Jesus Christ, is a shocking piece of bias
phemy. Christ never touched wound, save
to heal it; and never harmed the hair Of any
ones head during all of His mission, On His
way to cruel death, He said to the impetuous
Peter, "Iout up thy sword"
There was no such spirit in that pitiless old
man, John Brown, who not only found
fierce joy in killing the unarmed and the help
less bat in mangling their corpses, after life
had fled.
