of the whole campaign would be the
fail of Adrianople. Therefore were

who combated the opinion that the
earth was sphere when Columbus

fact is that long before the Christian
era the Greek and Egyptian philoso-

earth was round and knew vastly
more about eclipses, the motions Of
the moon and other astronomical mat
tiers than many do even today. The
idea of Columbus had been anticipated

Asserting that he was "railroaded"
to prison James A. Godetts. a Negro.
serving a life term at the Saltwater
penitentiary, has filed an application
for pardon with the state board Of
pardons. The papers are the most
voluminous received in connection
with a pardon application in many
years.
Godetts, who was logger, was SEN
fenced in Koochiching county in 1908
for the murder Of G. N. Williams, his
employer. Godetts admits killing VII.
liams, but pleads self-defense.
Godetts says that when arrested he
was handcuffed by the sheriff, hauled
around town to show the prowess of
that officer, while photographs were
taken for the edification of a crowd
which gathered. He also criticizes the
attorneys who defended him.
