never knew of any other crime.
Think he has learned lesson. The
feeling is for a pardon.
c. r. Mayberry. town treasurer Of
against Knight before this and know
of no opposition among the people to
a pardon.
Mr.. Frye stated that only two per-
sons refused to sign the petition.
This entire delegation of six men
came to Augusta at their own ex-
pense to speak for pardon for
knight.
Harry Burke Of Mechanic Falls
George S. Mccarthy Of Lewiston ap-
peared for Harry Burke, former tel
egraph operator and station agent for
the Grand Trunk at Mechanic Falls.
Complaints were received Of missing
shipments. Burke also kept small
restaurant in that place and worked
over-hours, undermining his health.
He was about IS. married. with 3
children. Suspicion pointed to
Burke and large quantity of stolen
goods in his restaurant. He was ar
rested. bound over and laid in Jail
from Oct. 4. 1918 to February term
at Auburn. when he was given 8
months in Jail. The larceny charged
named goods stolen at over 500; ac-
tually about $500. Judge Cakes sug-
gested that the part of the charge
over 500 be mol pressed, so he could
sentence for less than a year and it
was done.
Burke's health was poor. Influenza
afflicted all his family. Since being
in Jail, his health has failed rapidly
Sawyer. He has advanced tuberculO-
sis and will not live to see end of the
sentence. Had it not been for gen.
crosby of County attorney and Judge
Cakes, instead of being in Auburn
Jail he would be in State prison. So
we don't ask pardon on plea of excess
sive sentence, but on humanitarian
grounds.
The wife tried to run the restaurant
and has lost everything. living now
largely on the charity of neighbors
and friends. He has now served
about Z months and that time means
as much to him as years would to
any hardened criminal. which he is
not.
The petition. headed by Rev. Chas.
]. Cassidy. bears the names of every
business man and many citizens. the
selectmen and sheriff also favor it.
with letters from others of the same
tenor.
Dr. s. E. Sawyer of Lewiston. Jail
physician. stated that Burke has ad-
vanced pulmonary tuberculosis and if
confined, will certainly die. The
county has furnished all dietary
things possible. but he cannot in jail
have the light, air and exercise nee
essary. He has had one hemorrhage.
He can't outlive his sentence in Jail.

Eli'Lerman Of Portland

Willis B. Hall of Portland appeared
for Eli Lerman of Portland. aged %.
sentenced in January, 1913 to 2 to 4
years in State Prison for receiving
stolen goods. Mr.. Hall said he was
convinced the man had been double
crossed" and was suffering for what
others did. A statement from Ler-
man claimed that he was acting only
under orders from others and knew
nothing Of stolen goods; that Lewis
Lerman guaranteed that after ar
rest he GELD wouldn't have to go to
Jail and gave a $500 note to insure his
family against loss and damage, but
he never received anything.
Samuel Rosenberg of Portland said
Eli was a sober, hard working man.
good habits and character. Think if
pardoned, would make good citizen.
Max Levine of Portland. father-in-
law, said Eli was man Of good habits.
Knew Of trouble with other men and
of the $500 note, but got nothing.
Have had to support Ellis wife and
child. Juliensen had the $500 from
keep quiet about Lewis.
Mrs. Eli Lerman, with baby in
arms, had known husband 4 years.
Didn't drink or gamble and was good
to family. Saw Lewis Lerman day
husband was taken to Jail and he
said he had given Juliesen $500 note
for me. il 1 kept my mouth shut
But I didn't and I and my husband
told the county attorney the whole
truth. l got no money.
Mr.. Hall argued that the fact that
Lewis Lerman was willing to give
$500 to have Eli and wife keep quiet,
there was something underneath"
The county attorney will not oppose
a pardon. Eli has. been a model and
trusted prisoner and will be a good
citizen. He filed papers and affidav-
its in the case.
Benjamin lerman Of Portland
VIM. H. Looney Of Portland ap-
peared for BENZ. Lerman Of Portland,
sentenced the same as Eli Lerman,
for same offence. The petition bears
PSI names, including leaders Of Jew
ish element of Portland; two rabbis
and Judge Connolley, who sentenced
Lerman. Mr. Looney, was not coun-
sci at trial. Investigated and found

Aid to Dependents of
Soldiers and Sailors

George w. Norton of Portland.
chairman of the committee on mill
tary affairs on the part of the Cover
nor and Council. has sent out a COM
munication to the municipal officers
of the various cities. towns and plan
tations of Maine. calling their atten-
ton to the fact that Chapter 1853 OF
the Public Laws of 1919 repeats
Chapter 276 of the Public Laws OF
1917. relating to the payment OF aid
to dependents Of soldiers and enacts
an entirely new law on that subject.
The new law bases the claim to
aid entirely upon the need OF the
claimant" says the communication.
1T uses the phrase 'necessitous cir
cumstances,' which in ordinary par
lance may he translated as actual
need: so that the State aid which
has been going to dependents of SOL
diers who are not in need should
cease. The municipal officers are to
determine from their own investiga-
tions whether the .necessitous cir
cumstances' exist. and if the claimant
is. as a matter of fact, incapable VI
self maintenance.
Under the new law. any person
aggrieved by the decision of the
municipal officers has right to APP
peal to the Governor and Council.
THE new law does not limit in any
way the age of the claimant. Faith
ers or mothers of soldiers, who are
in actual need, may receive the State
aid whether they are aged or not.
Brothers and sisters Of soldiers. who
are dependent upon them for support
and who are in necessitous circun-
stances. may receive the aid the same
as the children of the soldiers.
New application blanks must be
filled out by all who are to continue
to receive the aid. and passed upon by
the municipal officers as entirely new
cases, and 1 want to emphasize the
fact that the basis of the new law Is
the need of the applicant. A plenti-
full supply of the blanks is on hand at
Augusta. and will be forwarded to
you upon request"
