,. 4 sH2f TIE PULLMAN CASE

Disclaiming intention of voicing any opinion as to the guilt or inno- cence of the condemned man save that which has been formed from the opinions of the jurors, the circuit and supreme courts in the case of Arthur Tillman, under stentence of death foi the killing of a young wom- an with whom he Is accused of hav- ing been intimate. The Graphic can not but commend, the conscientious action of Governor Hays in declining to interfere with the sentence of the courts. Like the jurors and the courts, Governor Hays may be wrong as to his conclusion, but 1t is improb- able. As a matter of fact, the gover- nor does not pretend to say whether Tillman is guilty or innocent. Wise- ly. he takes the view of the jurors, the trial judge and the supreme court. Having assured himself that every possible opportunity was afforded 'Tillman for proving his innocence of the heiaous crime charged to him, Governor Hays proceeds to do his duty let the law take it's course.
 It requires a conscientious regard for his oath of office and great sense of duty to the people for a governor to refuse to commute the sentence of person sentenced to death. The easiest way and the one that most governors would doubtless prefer to follow would be to accede to the petition for prolongation ol life: for escape from the gallows or electric chair. as the case may be, but unless the chief executives possess the stamina; the conscientious regard for their duty to enable them to up hold the law, 1t would See be tha there would b enc respect for law society and courts.
 Like other states, Arkansas has suffered from too liberal use of tho pardoning power. Men who have com mitted murder and other crimes have been freed almost as soon as the, reached the prison doors. Others wht have been condemned to expatiatt their crimes oa the gallows have frs secured communications and in a few months full pardons. The result wal the creation of an attitude that i was only necessary to possess none! and political pull to be able to com init any crime and evade the penalt.
 This has not been conducive to healthy sentiment and the prope respect for law and the courts.
 Having assured himself that tn convict has been given every oppor tunity to prove his innocence, tn governor has no right to set asid the decree of jurors and trial judges who are best qualified to pass on tn merits of the case
 In refusing to interfere with tn decree of the courts in the Tillma case, Governor Hays struck blow : lawlessness that will tend to creat greater respect for the law. as we as fear of justice in the heart of tn criminal. ea, e,.
