borne the infant TO safety--and
then lost her. How or where he
lost her he would not say.

To the President of the United States:
Edward Mayberry has been sentenced by Judge
Rudkin OF the United States district court here 10 be
hanged January 10, for the murder OF Alice Vivian
habreed Indian girl, the Colville reservation
last August.
Mayberry's trial developed reasonable doubt as
to whether the murder premeditated. The jury
stood six six for time
In 1918 this state abolished capital punishment by
an almost unanimous vote Of the legislature.
The people of this state feel that hanging now,
within its borders, only would be diStastetu and
annoying but would tend repudiate the action OF the
legislature.
This progressive state feels that the hanging OF
Edward Maybcrry would be step backward IN the
