LANGFORD NEXT


Altho Clarence Langford, convicted
of the murder Of John j. Cutlery last
winter, has been hardly half a year in
the penitentiary, there is strong pos
sibility Of his being pardoned, either
at the next regular meeting Of the
pardoning board. or some star cham
Der meeting called without notice to
the people.
Langfordss mother has been circu-
lating petition for her sons pardon,
and some people have been weak
minded enough to sign it. We don't
suppose Mrs. Camp needs any petit
ton, as she claims she has the gov
ernor and two members of the par
dOning board on her side. We don't
know who the two are, but we are
pretty sure neither Comptroller Amos
nor Attorney General Swearingen
viii vote to give Langford pardon
When Commissioners McRae wrote
the Star some weeks ago that he was
in favor of setting free any person
whose pardon was desired By the
trial judge and jurors, we supposed
he established a rule he would stand
by, but he didn't shortly after in the
case of Braswell and LowInan, so we
do not suppose the opposition of
Judge Bullock, Attorney Scofield and
the Jurors who tried Langford mean.
anything to him. The impression
prevails that Secretary Crawford
sees most things thru the eyes of Gov.
Cats. One thing certain, the pardon
|of Ilangford would be disgrace to
the state and dishonor to every
man who helps to obtain it.; an under
handed blow at the law and an incen-
tive to lynching and private revenge.
Langford was fairly tried and his
sentence was more favorable to him
than to the state. He is a degener-
ate, a boy of cruel and treacherous
nature. Had it not been for his
mothers help and devotion, he would
have been in the penitentiary two or
three years ago. He is brutal and
dissipated, and his associates were
among the worst element of this
community. He has been heard to
tell perfectly peaceful man, who
had not done anything even to slight
lly offend him, how much pleasure it
would give him to kill him. A mere
boy, he drank, gambled and associat-
ed with women of i'll repute A few
hours before the murder, he tried to
pass q check to which his mothers
name was forged. All the day be-
fore the murder the gun with which
he did the bloody deed was kept In a
house of i'll fame. He went from the
place of the killing as fast as he could
to a blind tiger and spent part of his
victims money for illicit liquor. He
has Dragged that the gun with which
be committed the crime and part OF
the money gained by ii are safely
hidden, and he expects to use them
both when he comes out. The super
intendent Of the state prison says he
lis the biggest liar that ever entered
that institution. lie he is pardonee
land comes here, he win soon either
kill again or be killed, and if he goes
elsewhere he will act as badly as he
has acted here.
& IL the pardoning board turns hin
loose, it will add to it's long list Of
offenses against decency and justice
Every man who votes for his pardon
will break his oath of Office and disre
gard his duty to the people and vii
himself deserve place in the peni
tentiary
