LEAVES STATE Pen
SERVED 20 YEARS
James Kelly Convicted of Murder
at Mayville, N. d., in 1894 is
Released

Bismarck, May 11.-Thursday,
May 9, James Kelly, who was SEN
fenced almost 20 years ago for life
Imprisonment for murder in the
first degree, walked from the gates
of the state prison free man. The
state board of pardons commuted
his sentence to 26 years, and with
his good time off his term expired
this week. He was sent up from
Mayville for the alleged murder of
a policeman. Concerning his free
dom, the Reflector, magazine pub
lished by the inmates of the prison
says:
Nineteen years and four months
ago in the city of Mayville, N. D., a
man lost his life and two transients
were arrested, and upon circumstan-
cial evidence they were convicted
and sentenced to life in prison. AZ
ter nine years one of them succeed
ed thru his slick tongue and pet
ting ways to the officers in gaining
a pardon, but the other, whose name
We do not feel in duty bound to use,
had to stay but after his stay of 10
yearshe still maintains his innocence.
and on Thursday of this week he
stepped out into the world free
man. Now the question is: Who
is guilty Of the murder in Mayville? ?
Was it either one of these men, or
some one else? We are not able to
say-neither are you, SO let us wish
him God-speed and give him the
benefit of the doubt, and believe
him innocent until we are more COM
petent to prove him guilty.
If he was an innocent man may
God have mercy upon our state law
that will through its weakness con-
fine a man in this hell-hole for 19
years, thereby taking away from him
that liberty which God himself gave
to him. But, If he is guilty may God
have mercy on his soul and judge
/ him according to his merits.

merely that they cannot afford to

! The railroad commission OF California

The decision, which is said to be
the most voluminous ever handed
down by a rate making body, disposes

SUFFERING GREW INTENSE
Termination of the Strike Is a
Tribute TO the People of the
United Kingdom.

! (By Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
/ London, March 2S.-Premier Asquith
today issued an appeal TO the miners
OF Great Britain to accept the mini
mum wage bill, which he said, would
effect largely what they had fought
! for, The Premier made this appeal
/ in speech to the Liberal members
of the House of Commons. The Pre-
mler said he recognized that the agi-
tatlon as far as the great bulk of the
j men was concerned, was a disinterest-
. ed movement. Now, that their griev.
ances had been removed by the estab-
llshment of The principle of a mini
mum wage, with machinery which
could be trusted to fix reasonable
rates, he strongly appealed in the
name of the whole community for the
resumption of normal industrial con.
ditions. He hoped that industrial
peace and contentment now were in
sight.
Mines Are Opened.
The end Of the coal strike which has
so sorely affected many millions of
the population of the United Kingdom
during the last four weeks is believed
to be at hand. No doubt appears to
exist in the minds of many people
that the majority of the million min
ers who left their work March / are
anxious to return to the pits, and when
the occasion offers will vote in favor
OF the proposal TO resume.
Owners are opening their mines to-
day and men who wish to start work
will receive protection from the gov
eminent. In the great military camD
lat Aldershot, 10000 soldiers are held
lin readiness to move at any moment
to any point in the country and at 9TH
Ter military posts similar arrange
ments have been made.
Strike Ended None too Soon,
More urgent even than the necessity
of protecting the mines is the duty
facing the country Of relieving the
destitution caused every where by the
strike. Millions are living in a state
Of semi-starVation in various parts of
the country. The settlement can
come none too soon for, of the 2,0O0,-
OO0 men besides the miners who have
been thrown out of employment, at
least half do not belong to any trade
organization and, therefore receive no
out-of-work benefit. In southern
Wales the distress is becoming more
appealing each day.
