FALSE IMPRISONMENT

The Herald had an article several
weeks ago about the false imprison-
ment and reparation for same, citing
the fact that Mrs. Munson of this
city, expected to draft bill for the
next legislature that would give
those unjustly sentenced to a prison
term some reparation for this griev-
GUS mistake, says the Sanford Her
aid. The news of each week demon
strates the wisdom of some such law,
that would throw more of safe
guard around the person brought to
the bar of justice on the testimony
of one who was mistaken, and
would also make court and jury and
prosecutor more careful. The fol-
lowing case in the Pensacola News
is one instance of injustice done in
nocent people all over this land Of
ours every year.
There is an element of tragedy
in the case of Charles Stevens, Of
Glynn county, Georgia, who was
sentenced to serve ten years for
burglary and was lpardoned few
days ago by Governor Harris after
serving eighteen months. He was
the victim of a mistake in testimony
and his case deserves attention in
that it may serve to cause men to be
more careful about swearing away
the liberty of others.
Stevens was convicted on the tes-
timony of man named J. ]. Speer,
who after a scuffie with a burglar
in his home identified Stevens as the
guilty man; Speer was the only wit
ness and his positive testimony left
no doubt in the minds of the jury as
to Stevens guilt. Later Speer in
formed the Governor of Georgia that
4, he recognized another man as the
! burglar, and took steps to have the
man pardoned.
Though Stevens was pardOned h
has suffered irreparable injury
Even if the man who injured hin
and the state should recompense hin
| for the time he lost there is no
money enough in the world to pa
him for the mental pain and HUI
i initiation he suffered when he wa
robbed of his liberty for eiehteei
months. Though he suffered in
nOcently, he is not entirely purge,
of the stigma of having worn stripes
In after life his prison record will b
against him, both socially and in
business way, for there are man
people who are prejudiced agains
any man who has been to prison
even though he may have been par
doned.
What a burden it must be on
mans conscience to have carelessl
done fellow man so great a wront

SOMETHING FOR THE MOB
AVENGERS TO CHEW ON

They are now looking at the little
Mary Phagan case from new slant
entirely ASSOCIATED from Leo Frank.
A piece of poetry has been written
about her in which she is made to
protest against the conditions which
made her a factory slave in her early
girlhood, and to inveigh with bitter
irony against the "chivalry" which
plunged the whole State in turmoil
ON her account after she was dead
and it could do her no good. but did
nothing to make conditions better
for her and her class while she was
living. The Miami Metropolis
quotes the poetry and adds this COM
ment which has point sharp
enough to petrate even the hide
of a mob of Georgia lynchers:
MARY Phagan left message for
the men of Georgia that is told in
this poem we quote. The Metropolis
republishes that poem in the hope
that every worthwhile paper in the
South will do likewise. 1t would be
good to see it in every paper in the
South. no matter how that paper has
stood toward the corruption that
furnished funds for the defense OF
Leo Frank-because it brings out
into the light of truth a state OF
affairs that good men must remedy .
"It is fine to talk of "chivalry;
it is beautiful to see man hold on
his hat in courtly Difference to the
! women of the South; but chivalrv
that permits women to toll for wages
that mean starvation or ruin. or
chivalry that must require high
caste on the part OF women for its

II is practically sure that he cant

the defects there and make the in

poses of its creation The other day

went up from Marianne, not because
the new appointee was incompetent,
ut because the man whose place
took was popular with the people
of Mariana and they didn't want to
give him up. To the unprecedented
outsider ii would seem that fitness
for his work in the school, regard
less of his popularity and sociaI
standing in the town, would be the
chief consideration in selecting SUI

the new man chance and perhaps
he will be as popular in time as th'
other one.

i The other day we referred to the
case of the late Editor Hancock, OF
the Savannah News, who died worth
300, 900, and we wondered how he,
an employe, had saved that much out
Of his pay during his term of service.
The Orlando Reporter-Star, whose
editor had personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Hancock and his methods.
Explains it in this way:
"Mr. Hancock's example may be
useful in pointing a lesson in frr-
egality. He received upwards of
three thousand dollars year for
npre than a quarter of century
He was a bachelor and had neither
the cares nor the expense of a fam
lily. He lived mostly at his desk and
d no costly habits, He invested his
wings judiciously, and when he
lied there was a fortune to be di-
ided among others. When the facts
re known there is nothing very re-
variable in the Hancock expert
ence.''
