just One of Many.
Mammy's case Is only one of possf-

Gals of the governors Office have mad
to deal during the past week. Yester-
day it was evident that the number
who would make their appeals this
week would be even greater than that.
They come continually and throughout
the day there Is "A long waiting line
in the reception room. Few pass the
portals into the executives private
office, for none but those who have
papers and recon- lamentations for
clemency and petitions signed by those
in authority are admitted.

hearts asking the signature which

Gals In the executives office feel the
troubles of them all They are forced
to hear each pitiful story in all its
narrowing detaiIs--how the sentence
was unjust, how 1t was all a mistake,
how the family needs him, how they
miss the long absent one.

that he will pardon but few, and only
those whose Imprisonment was under
