to get out. but since disposal of the
cases Of Richards, Haley and Skasss
there has been nothing doins. Yet
Charles I-ockard. in prison. and his
friend Blodgett. who was in prison. are
making a great case calling for sym

The matter came up in court yestef-
day. Blodgett had filed for Lockard q

a LAWYER. Attorney Holly. who makes
a specially of fearful cases. appeared
before the supreme court and said ne
had been employed to present the mat
ter of rehearing but asked little time.
The court asked him if he know what
was in the petition. He didn't. He
was advised to inform himself.
The fact is the petition is almost as
libelous and wicked as the one Blod-
gett filed in his own case some years
ago and was almost the forerunner OF
a terrible tragedy. At that time. how
ever. Blodgett had powerful newspaper
support here which is lacking now,
In the petition now on file there are
some awful accusations against the
court.
The petition while not entirely fol-

his former fellow convict. Blodgett,
to effect his release was on the
ground that the court gave a determ-
