Expert Watch Repairing

1t is a fact that you can get as
good watch repairing here in Stafford
as in the large cities and for less
money.
j. C. Freeman, veteran watch
maker, started at the bench in 1872
in Buffalo, N. Y. He has spent
many years perfecting himself in
the art of repairing and adjusting
fine time pieces. His store is on the
corner of Tenth and X streets, near
P. j. Jacobson's store. He repairs
watches, clocks, jewelry and sewing
machines and has a good stock of
watches, clocks and jcwelry. Every
thing fully guaranteed adv-39-7t

had, since his childhood, been any
thing else than a steady going, in
duStrious colored boy. The Judge
who presided over Campheil's trial
did not permit the attorneys for The
defense to introduce testimony tend
ing to prove that on several oc
casions Immediately preceding the
murder, Kid Kirby had attacked
Campbell with a loaded rubber hose
and brass knucklcs and had, on such
occasions, severely injured him.
The facts obtainabIe outside OF
the transcripts of evidence indicate
that after Kirby had inveigled
Campbell into a dice game, he de,
liberately tried to defraud him of
some Of his money, and that when
Campbell protested against this
treatment, he was made the object
of several vicious attacks.
The statements of citizens of
Prescott, also, show Campbell after
several such encounters in the course
of which he had suffered physically,
secured a gun, and that on the oc-
casion of his next meeting with
Kirby, he killed him.
While Campbell is not, of course,
to be considered bIameIess, it is my
firm conviction that the crime COM
mitted does not merit death as a
penalty, especially in view of the
undue haste exercised in the trial Of
the defendant and the unwarranted
zeal exhibited by some prominent
people Of Prescott in demanding his
execution"
A petition for executive clemency
for Campbell, signed by 127 resi-
dents of Prescott, was filed with the
governor in connection with the re
view of the case.
Thirteen men were awaiting exc
cution at the State prison prior to
the recent election, when the pro-
pOsa to abolish capital punishment
was defeated. Of these cases, six
are now pending in the Supreme
Court, one has been reduced on re-
trial to a ten-year sentence, two
have been commuted to life impris-
Onment and four granted reprieves
until March 10, 1915.
The governors action, which was
not unexpected by those who knew
his attitude on the subject of capital
punishment, does away with the
possibility of a general execution at
the State prison at any time in the
near future.
The sixty-day stay of execution in
the case of John TomIin and A. w.
Leonard, expires December 3lst.
Just what action will be taken in
case their motion for a new trial is
denied in the Supreme Court, has
not been announced.

As a further reason for granting
.these reprieves, the governor al
! luded to numerous protests from
citizens against general execution
and made reference to the fact that
should several hangings occur i'm.
mediately preceding Christmas week,
the spirit of the holiday season
would be violated and that such a
course would offend the public con-
science. He stated, furthermore,
that his review of the voluminouS
testimony relating to the different
capital cases had brought to light
several points of such serious i'm
port as to render advisable a con-
sideration of the evidence by the
Supreme Court and attorney gen
eral.
In his communication of Charles
Schaffer, sentenced to hang for
shooting Edward Giles at Winkle-
man in 1911, the governor stated
that the trial was conducted with
undue haste, and that much ma
teria evidence was excluded. In
addition he incorporates in his pro-
clamation letters from former Judge
Ernest W. Lewis, who presided in
the trial court, and Judge F. B.
Laine, Of the Superior Court of
Greenlee county. who pronounced
the death sentence on Schaffer after
his case had been passed upon by
the Supreme Court. The letters ex,
press the opinion that the sentence
imposed was too severe and that de-
PENDANTS attorneys erred in preDara-
tion of questions upon motion for a
new trial.
Referring to CampbelPs case,
Governor Hunt made the following
comment concerning his reasons for
granting clemency:

case of William Campbell shows
that the defendant was a colored
bootblack residing and working in
the city of Prescott, Arizona, and
that the person whom he killed was
a white man named Ernest Presti,
alias Kid Kirby. While the occupa-
tion of the deceased is not discov-
cradle in the evidence taken at the
time of the trial, and in fact appears
to have been carefully excluded,
several citizens of Prescott in good
standing have stated in writing over
their signatures that Kid Kirby was
an ex pugilist and white SLAYER, who
had several times been arrested and
fined for offenses involving brutality
toward women of the underworld.
These is nothing in the evidence,
or other statements separately sub
to show that the defendant

The second Teachers Institute
for the Tyndall District was held
in the school building at Tyndall
last Saturday. Despite the fact,
that the government thermometer
registered "a degrees below zero
in the morning, thirty out of the
thirty-seven members we're pre-
sent. The absentees were for the
most part those living at a consid-
cradle distance from town and
their attendance was entirely out
of the question. Many good pa
pers we're read before the institute
and much interest was manifested
by the members. Mrs. Merle
Williser excited considerable mer-
riment and discussion with her pa
per in which she outlined 'ssThe
problem of the rural teacher.
While not all school problems are
confined to the little one roomed
country school yet, it is safer to
say that the average rural school
presents many more difficult
problems than does the average
village or town school. Unless
the teacher is an all around me
chanic and able to drive nails,
mend broken desks, remedy
smoky stoves, bind wounded
hands of the children, studiously
avoid all neighborhood complica-
tions and at the same time be a
leader in the community, be or
