Petition Alleges I'm
fair andPartia Trial
At Indianapolis
Proceedings
Reported That Senators aid
Congressman VIII Testify

Washington, March 17.-Application
for pardon by Is of the labor leaders
convicted in the "dynamiting cases"
at Indianapolis, was filed today with
the department of justice by the pris-
oners' attorney, Elijah N. collins of
Chicago. The petition alleged that
the men were innocent and that Judge
Albert B. Anderson. who presided
over the Federal court at Indianapolis
when they were convicted. did not
give them fair and impartial trial.
Mr.. Zoline announced that at least
20 members of the House and several
senators would appear before the de-
partment or the President in behalf of
the convicted men.
The application alleged that Judge
Anderson allowed only such excep-
tions to his rulings as suited his fam
cy; that he repeatedly seized oppor-
tunities to make long speeches to the
jury commenting upon the facts in a
way calculated to show that defend
ants were guilty and that he ridiculed
and intimidated counsel and witnesses
for the defence.
In a supplemental letter to Presi-
dent Wilson. Mr.. Zoline stated that
a special train to convey the defend.
ants to the Leavensworth penitentiary
was ordered 40 days before the YER
dict by the jury and that the men were
on their way to the penitentiary one
hour after sentences were pronounced
upon them. He added that without
good reason, Judge Anderson, many
times during the trial, walked from
his residence to his court room accom-
panied by police, in view of the jury,
thus giving the jury the false impress
sion that state of lawlessness exist
ed in Indianapolis.
1t was also alleged that Judge An
derson during the trial frequently con-
suited with the attorney for the Erec-
tors Association and heard sugges-
lions from him privately in the alb
sence of the defendants and their
counsel.
In support of his charge that Judge
Anderson ridiculed counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, Mr. Zoiine quoted from the
transcript trial record, where Judge
Anderson. in reply to Senator Kern,
of counsel for the defence, said he
could not control a lot of schoolboys."

ter H. Krum, formerly United States

Thought Agnes
An Injun Devil

Brownville, March Ito be lured
by love into the trackless Maine will
derness, only to be shot at by the OBJ
ject of her affections who mistook her
for an Injun Devil in the blackness
of a March midnight, was the heart
rending experience OF pretty Agnes
Stewart, who left here Monday norm
ing on the train for Bangor. 1t all
happened at West Chairback pond, q
number of miles above Katahdin Iron
Works, on Saturday night and James
II. Stewart, the Boston travelling man
who fired at Agnes, says he can't tell
how glad he is he missed
She's just the greatest little girl
l ever took into the woods with me-"
he said just before the train pulled
out. as he patted Agnes head. She
looked at him appreciatively and
nestled little closer. She was very
happy Monday, was Agnes.
Let it be said at the outset--in order to
avoid all possibility of trouble with tho
district attorneys Office in Portland
that Agnes Stewart is about the sleekest
and most attra active looking cocker SPAN
lei pup that has been brought down into
Maine from Massachusetts in many
day.
Agnes and her master arrived at the
Iron Works on Saturday and the latter
started an hour or so later for West
Chairback, leaving the spaniel behind be-
cause he feared the snow was too deep
for her short legs to carry her over the
intervening miles from the works to the
pond. He reached camp all right and
after his day on snowshoes turned in
early in the evening for good nights
sleep. The fact that there was no one
else in camp didn't bother him bit, for
he has been coming into the Maine woods
In winter for many seasons past. He
likes them better than at any other sea-
son, he says. I
Sometime Saturday afternoon Agnes
either broke or bit through the rope with.
which she was tied and, looking about
siyly to see that she was unobserved, she
started up the old tote road to Chesun-
cook, past the Farm, hot on her masters
trail. 1t was hard going for a cocker
spaniel pup, but the lure of love was,
pulling at Agnes heart strings and she
never faltered.
He had recently read stories Of deer,
being killed by wolves near Moose
head, but, considering them to be ut
ter nonsepse-mere newspaper talk, in
fact-and he didn't, for an instant, be-
lieve he had wolf to deal with. The
Injun Devil theory was the only one
which seemed reasonable.
Mr.. Stewart didn't wait long. The,
sounds continued and, with his rifle
cooked and a shell thrown into the
magazine, he crept softly to the camp
door, opened it, stepped outside and
fred twice into the darkness along the
roof. He was about to fire third
time when something black and furry
sailed through the air and struck him
full in the chest. Luckily there was
light enough against the snow for him
to recognize Agnes-uninjured and
happy. -
