THE LETTER OF THE LAW

Whoever in the night season ma
liciously and forcibly breaks and en-
tiers an inhabited dwelling house with
intent to commit a felony, or with in
tent to steal property of any value,
shall be imprisoned in the peniten-
tiary during life; but upon the recon-
mendation of mercy by the jury shall
be imprisoned not less than 5 years
nor more than 80 years. - Section

secret hope-for stealing a piece Of
bacon! -
The door of the penitentiary closed
on William WEIGH, his name became
a number, and he was forgotten.
Just the other day somebody hap
pened to recall the case, and inquired
what had become of William WEIGH.
And this is what he found:
The body of William WeIch still
lives. But the soul of him is dead.
A few months of prison life
brought him face to face with his ap-
palling fate. Brooding over it in bit
terness, and longing for .'that little
tent of blue which prisoners call the
sky" his mind broke.
LAW has murdered the only part of
him that raises man above brutes.
And now he is no more than an ape
in cage.
ut is very good law" says War
den Jones.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-03-11

on the overwhelming injustice of it.
Six years ago WEIGH, a young man
of 25, was wandering through south
ern Ohio, looking for work. He found
neither job nor generosity. Penni-
less, lonely, hungry he lost his rever-
ence for the great god Property.
And SO, one dark, bitter night, in
Greenville, Darke county, he opened
the door of a dwelling house, entered
and took. a few pounds of bacon to
keep him alive in his quest for work.
He lifted his hand against no man.
He attacked no woman. He frighten-
ed no child. He destroyed nothing.
; He HAD to have food, and he took a
dollars worth of bacon-that was all.
He was seen, caught and hailed into
court. And being at heart an honest
man, WEIGH admitted stealing the
bacon. He would steal to live, but he
would not lie to avoid punishment.
The Law, however, was not so
square as the thief.
WEIGH was guilty of breaking and
entering an inhabited dwelling at |
night" with intent to steal property.
And that, in Ohio, is an offense pun
ishable with life Imprisonment, I'M
less the jury recommends mercy.
WEIGH was destroyed by his own
honesty. BY pleading guilty" he |
surrendered his right to a trial by |
jury. And SO there was no jury to |
recommend mercy" Wherefore in
exorabie LAW, in the person of Judge
AlIread, sent him to the penitentiary |
for life;
1t is not likely that any jury would |
have done that And the lack Of a
jury was merely technical. The judge |
might have insisted on jury trial for |
the prisoner, refusing to enter his |
plea of guilty" Judges have often |
done so.
This judge merely said, "There is |

MERIDIAN TO VOTE
ON POSTMASTER
First Election of It's Kind in
United States Will Be
Held Today.

Meridian, Miss, January 14.-(Special.)-
Tomorrow the first primary election will
be held In this city to name a man for
Congressman Witherspeon to recommend
for Wilson to appoint as postmaster at
this place. 1t will be the first election of
the kind to be held in the United States,
and considerable interest is being mani
tested. The election is not authorized BY
law and is not safeguarded by legal re-
strictions, and there is considerable OPP
position to this plan of selecting post
master, many people holding that the
matter should have been left entirely to
Mr.. Witherspoon, but some local poll
ticians decided that the primary was the
thing. and the result is that ten good men
are in the race.
The situation has been complicated by
telegram from Mr.. Witherspoon saying
that he thought wkite democratic patrons,
living outside of the corporation, should
be permitted to participate The city ex-
ecutive committee, which has the election
in charge. has ignored this suggestion.
with the result that there is danger OF
complications.

The dance at the Phoenix club last
evening with Miss Cecile Rich as hostess
was one of the most enjoyable affairs
of the winter for the younger people. Miss
Rich invited 100 of her friends and the
personnel of her list included many of
the most prominent young people in the
dancing set. The presence of visiting
folk has added to the gayety of affairs
ar the Phoenix club during the brief mid
winter season, and last evening much of
the enjoyment arose from the part that
a coterie of vivacious and lovely young
women and a number of young men
from out of town had in the dance and
the dainty supper which followed.
Miss Rich is one of the younger beau
ties of Birmingham. Always exquisitely
sowned her lovely dark eyes and express
sive face alieht with animation, she is
one of the admired personages in any as
sembly. She was attired for her dance
in a French robe fashioned of white chif-
foa embroidered in pink roses and stud
ded with rhinestones; a rhinestone buckle
confined the drapery OF the skirt and
sarlands of pink rosebuds completed the
lrinming of the bodice. She carried a
great cluster of American Beauty roses.
One of the interesting visitors was Miss
Myrtle Levy of indianapolis, who is with
Miss Mena Holzer. She was in light blue
luessaline veled in white chiffon, in
which was introduced a touch of pink
Miss Holzer wore a stunning pink bro
Cade gown.
Miss Irma Levi was noted In a white
ciarmeuse dancing frocl trimmed with
marabout and crystals. She carried Amer
iean Beauties. XMiss Claire Mayer, who is
her guest, was there in white charmeuse
draped with coral chiffon. Her flowers
were white roses. Miss Alice Levi wore
pink embroidered chiffon embellished with
real lace. Miss Minna Adler, who is the
guest of Mrs. Edgar Adler, wore crystal
robe over flesh tinted charmeuse in which
she was most attractive. Miss Gold, who
is with Mr.. and Mrs. Morris Adler, was
another visitor wearing a lovely ball
gown, and during the evening many were
noted in the throng of dancers in the ball
room.
