PRIZE FIGHT PROMOTERS BUSY.

the ecysssos SHOULD FURTHER EXPLAIN

! The Des Moines Capital relates nat
| Governor Harding on his return from
Annapolis explained the pardon of
Ernest Rathbun which raised such a
! storm of protest in Ida county. The
| explanation" Is that the procedure IN
| the governors office was the same as
| in other cases, that afTidavits were
| tiled just the same as in all such cases,
Rathbun himself made a statement
that attorneys had told him that the
| sentence was too severe. An assistant
! county attorney had also recommended
| leniency.
The explanation explains" precisely
how il was done in the governors
office. 1t doesn't explain why the gov
ernor gave a free pardon to a man
convicted Of an especially brutal crime
for which ne had not suffered day OF
twenty years Imprisonment. The
presiding judge, NJ. +. Hutchinson, so
it is said also recommended leniency.
That doesn't explain why that same
Judge sentenced the man TO twenty
years in prison. Officially the judge
handed him the equivalent Of his
crime. The time for leniency seems to
have been when the sentence was
given. 1t is to be assumed that the
mans crime justified the sentence or
il would not have been imposed. Then
why Judge Hutchinson recommending
leniency to the governor and why the
governor granting an absolute pardon
Just to the judge to take into con-
sideration that there is a vast differ
ence between "leniency" and absolute
pardon Of brute who had deliberately
outraged a girl and confessed 10 his
crime when the tolls were thrown
about him. The explanation" will not
explain in Ida county 1t doesn't ex-
plain anywhere. 1t misses the point Of
explanation. What the public de-
sires TO know is why Governor Hard
ing granted q free and absolute pardon
10 Ernest Rathbun. confessed and con-
victed rapist by plan and elaboration,
