Skaggs is living quiet and indus

letters enclosing a clipping of an ut
terIy false story sent out giving an al

something drastic in the Interest OF

governor. of course, as every one
knows. has no more to do with the case
and no more authority in the case, than
he has with the war in Europe.
The board of parole was Very de-
sirous that Skaggs be given another
chance to make good and obey the
laws and as soon as it could be done
and A position could be secured for him
he was again released and placed on
! parole OF course every one at al
