Now Jim ClarlSin. owner of the

is every reason to assume that pro-

you that cannot see my way. clear
to pardon your SON. IF followed the
dictates of my heart or allowed my
self to be Influenced by my genuine
friendship for yourself and your hus-
band, I would of course do it but in
matters of this sort it seems my i'm
perative duty to leave personal feel

ton entirely and look at the matter
from the public point of view with re-
gard to the influence it would have up
on other eases.
When look at the case of your son
from this point of view it seems to
me clearly my duty to withhold par
don.
My heart goes out to you in genu-
inc sympathy, my dear Mrs. Caminet-

me to write you this, but I am sure
that you will understand that I am
