Strike Out The Extremes

In circuit court in this county
last week. man who was con
int Il Of stealing cattle was
sentenced to four years in state
risen. and another who had
aiken the life Of fellow being
was sentenced to four years.
What contrast. The rustler,
having been found guilty, was
given the extreme penalty I'M
der the statute. The other, for
committing the greatest crime
III the list. was given the light
st rebukc the jury could ad-

says in truth, "People are prone
TO condemn courts for inactiOn,
but too frequently when the
people are given chance to
act, they are more cautious of
real justice than Judges.

Confessions by Consplrators
Show Real Mission.

New York.-That the real mission
Of Robert Fay, arrested recently by
secret service men, was to sink or
destroy the British warships ON guard
outside the three-mile limit OF Sandy
Hook is set forth in afidavits in the
possession Of the United States au-
thorities.
On these afidavits rests the full
case which the Government has
built against Fay, Max Breitung, Her
bert Kienzle, Paul Doescha and Wal
ter Scholz, the five men arrested on
charges of conspiring against the
laws of the United States.
The story of the plot told in the
afidavits begins with the last voyage
of the North German Lloyd steam
ship Krouprinzessin Cecilie, which,
had on board Max Breitung, Kienzle
and Doescha, when, because of tho
declaration of war, she was forced %
return and put in at Bar Harbor, Me.
Kienzle swore to one of these az
fidavits that he was a travelling COM
panion of Breitung on the ship. They
discussed the war situation in detail
and later met several times in this
city. He does not admit that he wrote
to his father in Germany Of any plans
to aid the Fatherland, but, according
to a statement by Fay, the elder
Kienzle had received such a letter
when Fay was started on his trip to
this country last April.
Fay, one of the afidavits shows,
called on Kienzle within a few days
after he landed here. They at once
began discussing plans for putting the
British guard ships out of commission.
Laid up in Hoboken the fleet of
German liners were ready to go to
sea, but the cruisers and auxiliary
vessels off Sandy Hook prevented a
dash from the harbor. Fay had the
idea that he could, Notwithstanding
the vigilance of the British ships and
the apparent impossibility Of sue
cess, make his way to their sterns,
attach his machine, with its time de-
vice in action, and escape before the
explosions.
