Judge Mahoney read the letter,
thought the matter over carefully
and then decided to send a telegram

little Esther's letter to the governor.
It reads:

know that I miss my mother and I
want her to come home. I know my
mother is not guilty of stealing those

her home just for Christmas, any

it is better that we take this chance
in hope of doing some good than to
take the other chance by throwing it
into the waste basket.

letter appeals to me. would prefer
