MURDER vs.. PARDON.

BerinO. y. NJ, April "a
Editor FL PasO Herald:
have been reading so much about
the above subject in different papers
that I feel compelled to make a few
suggestions, which may cause some
other wiseacres to come to the rescue
on this important matter.
Now, for instance, If a man or woman
is arrested for the crime Of murder it
costs the state some thousands Of dol
lars to secure a conviction. if it can,
and many a business man or farmer is
compelled to come to court and spend
a week or more rs a juror in court,
with bodily suffering and loss of time
and money, and at the end the governor
of the state can at Will turn the pris-
Cner loose. If he so feels inclined. I
take Arizona as an example, if the
governor gains his point to retain that
power, and other states may follow.
Now this is what I would suggest:
Why not issue license. we will say
q license to kill" II a man is arrested
for murder he just produces his license
and the whole matter is dropped. Of
course Mr.. Lawyer won't reap the rich
harvest that he generally gets, but
the people Of the state will not be
taxed TO foot the bill.

Aviator Must Wed to Get It
Girl Objects to FLYING.

Hans J. Wcideman's $4,000 fortune
will fly from him. he fears. if he does
not stop flying. He says most girls
are opposed to his profession as an avi-
ator.
Weideman, who is one Of the bachelor
aviators in the Mineola camp received
a letter yesterday from the probate
official OF Hakesheide, Germany. telling
him that he is heir to 2OOO0O marks,
equal to about 10000. left to him by
an uncle. But to get the money he
must be married. If he is not married
at forty, the money is to go to Ger
man eugenic fund.
Weideman's friends say he is willing
TO marry n girl in Los Angeles. but she
is engaged to another man. She would
not listen to Weideman's suit unless he
gave up flying. Because Of his hazard
Gus occupation he is contemplating
asking some young woman to marry
him with the proviso that he can still
continue to fly.

Inv TsleEraph 10 The Trlbuno. ]

Johnson city, Tenn. Aug. 2o.-De-
spondcncy over his continued III health
is thought 10 have been the reason for
the attempted suicide of Lewis Horn
blower. a son of w. Il. Hornblowcr a
prominent attorney of New York City,
at his home here.
Young Hornblower. who was married
a bout -Four years ago, had been In III
health for many months. While he re
celved only n smal! salary, as rail-
road clerk, Hornblower and his young
wife lived surrounded by every luxury,
with which they provided themselves
by means of handsome rcmittances
sent each month by his wealthy par
ents in New York.
The self-inflicted wound, which was
made by revolver. entered the body
near the left breastbone, pierced the
left lung. coming out near the shoul-
der blade went through the back OF 4
chair in which Hornblower was sit
ting and lodged in the wall OF the
room.
Young Hornblower had recently re.
turned with his wife from n vacation
trip. which he spent with his parents
in New York, and although he ap-
peared in the best of spirits his friends
assert that his health was wretched.
DR.. George Ben Johnson. the noted
Richmond surgeon, reached Horn
blowers bedside at II 80 o'clock to-
night on a special train. DIR. Johnson
probably will perform a surgical oper-
alton at once. in a desperate effort 10

home late last night he shot himself

At midnight physicians at the bed

the opinion that he had hardly a fight
ing chance for recovery. He is said TO
have told the doctors that he was tired
of living and fired the shot to end the
mOnotony OF life.
The fact that the patient seems To
have little desire To live is operating
against his chances for recovery.

Delay Most Vital Factor.

Although this was the big and immc-
diate advantage TO Thaw Of the Issue
OF the writ. the delay obtained was
looked upon as another important
point in his favor. II was said 10 be
part of the plan TO bring eminent New
York counsel TO his aid. and 10 ret
whatever other influence to work in his
behalf that can be commanded by the
Thaw wealth.
Thaw to-day received two kilograms
from George Lauder Carnegie, his
brother law, admonishing him 10 re-
main silent and telling him that Carne-
gle and his sister Mrs. Margaret Tha "
Carnegie, would reach SherbrOoke to-
night.
He also received remittance Of
1900 by telegraph from Pittsburgh.

crowd that saw his arrival threw her
arms around his neck and kissed him.
More practical. II less dcmonstra-
tive. was the sympathy shown by Miss
Jane McWiliams. who sent hot din
ner 10 the prisoner in his cell. When
Thaw was seen by The Tribune cor
respondent the remnants Of his dinner
were stlll on the table.
Mr.. Carnegie, II was said. will bring
additional means and authority 10 pro-
long Thaw's fight. which II Is planned
10 make more complicated than any IN
which Thaw has yet engaged, through
the confusion arising between Ameri-
can and Canadian laws.
Text Of the Complaint.
The full text Of the complaint on
which Thaw Is now held is as fol-
lows:
&C. A. Kennedy, district OF st. Fran
els, on information Of Chief Boudreau.
OF the town OF Coaticook, constable.
this 10Th day Of August, 1913. before
the undersigned. one of his majesty's
justices of the peace. in and for the
District Of St. Francis. who says that
on the 18th day OF August, at Mattei-
wan. in the State Of New York. one
Harry X. Thaw, then prisoner in the
lawful custody and confined in the
penitentiary OF Matteawan, the said
prisoner being held on a criminal
charge, whereby tho said Harry X
Thaw was legally convicted and con-
fined for life. did unlawfully escape
said penitentiary.
The contention Of the Thaw lawyers
is that the verbiage OF this clumsily
drawn complaint not only contains
MANY misstatements OF fact but does
not show sufficient cause for holding
him. Or. Shurtleff. Of his counsel, will
argue tomorrow. first. that II is not
shown. in the complaint that Thaw is
puiltv Of any offence against the laws
Of Canada: second, that the proceed
inps by which he was held we're irreg-
uIar because the officer who made the
charge and arrest also executed the
warrant and swore out the commit
ment papers; third. that Thaw was
committed to Jail without a hearing,
contrary 10 Canadian law.
II will be pointed out also that Thaw
was never convicted Of any crime In
