HILDEBRANDT DOES ALL
CONVICTS Crave INJURY

after two years close observation,
that the convict had made a great
change in his life.
Hildebrandt promised to make
good. And he was paroled.
Friends promised to give him
work and furnish him with the
proper unlfting environments.
so, while we have nothing but
condemnation and adherence for
the act that has again brought
Hildebrandt within the clutches
of the law" write his former pris-
on companions at Walla Walla,
we are reluctant to pass judg-
ment upon him or to- gauge his
conduct by the same tests as
would apply to those whose envir-
onment and opportunities had
been more conductive to a life of
rectitude.
Many Obstacles.
THE reports say that he had
been drinking alcohol just prior
to the commission of his crime.
II is also probable that he had re-
sumed the dope habit, which he
contracted in earlier years. What
led up to 1t we do not know;
quarrel with his relatives, a sud
den fit of despondency-who can
tell what grisly ghost of the past
may have risen to drive him to
seek momentary forgetfulness?
And we would ask those carp
ing critics who, ignorant of all the
conditions involved, are so ready
with their snap judgments and
curbstone opinions, il they are
quite certain that they would not
have succumbed to the fate which
engulfed Hildebrandt, given a
similar environment"
Hildcbrandt, the man who
would not he saved, has done
other prisoners a mighty in
justice.
Because now the authOri-
ties will be exceedingly care
full in their discrimination
among those whom they will
give n chance, by parole, to
make good.
And there are more than
900 men at Walla Walla who
want to be saved.
