later he came To Colorado 10 the hopes
OF recupersting, and up to the time
he returned to the old home, two
years ago, for a visit, he seemed to

Asks for Pardon

Marshal Worker was called upon
first of the week to furnish informs-
tion to the state board OF pardons
about one Harry Smith. who was
sentenced from Otero County in jan
uary, 1910, for term Of thirteen or
fourteen years for assault to murder
his wife who was making her home
at the Lundahl farm northwest Of
town at the time. Smith has asked
for pardon and the board desired q
statement from Mr.. Worker in regard
to the mans character and II our
marshal's statement carries any
weight this wifebeater will fall far
short Of obtaining pardon.
Among other things the answer
conveyed the information that Smith
was desperate character by nature
and by training, an expert jail break
er, and IL was the opinion of the
writer that he would have tn be
born again to deserve pardon.
He had threatened after conviction
to kill his wife and members of the
Lundahl family II he ever got out OF
the penitentiary. 1t ia the concensus
OF opinion among those who are
familiar with the case that several
lives would be endangered by the re-
lease of this man, and a general pro-
test Is heard on all sides.

To Stand Trial Again

John q. Godding. former president
OF the defunct State bank of Rocky
Ford, C0lo., must stand trial again on
charge Of having received deposits
after he knew the bank to be iusol-
vent. The state supreme court so
held last Monday In a decision hold
ing that any crime punishable by a
penitentiary offense was a felony.
The court ordered the trial to proceed
On It's merits. The informatiun was
died In the district court after God
ding was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary.
During the administration Of for
mer Governor Fl. A Buchtel, Godding
was tried, convicted and sentenced TO
the penitentiary. Shortly thereafter
he was pardoned by Governor Buchtel.
He was rearrested. A motion to
quash on the ground the offeuse had
been committed more than eighteen
months previously and was misde-
meanor instead of felony was over
ruled and the case carried to the
supreme court.
1t Is not thought that the commit
tee Of the depOsitors who had the
matter OF the prosecution OF Godding
in charge. will make any further move
in the matter, notwithstanding the
fact that he could he tried again on a
felony charge by decision of the su
preme court. The claim is made that
nothing would be gained by it and
that the expense to the depositors
would be considerable. However, a
meeting may be called to discuss the
matter.

The consolidation OF the two com.

the name changed to The Twin Lakes

1t was voted to remove the Offices
Of the company from Pueblo to Ord

in business throughout this already
