Why. they ask, should those who

PROTESTS TO BAKER
ON SMITH PAROLE
Representative Dallinger
Sees No Justice in Freeing
of "HardboiIed" Officer.

BOSTON. October s (by the Asso-
CT ated Press) .-Representative Frank
Dallinger has made public CORE
Baker regarding his protest against
the parole of Lieut.. Frank II. ("Hard-
boiled") Smith, who was found guilty
of cruelties to soldiers of the A. Z. F.
at prison camps in France.
IF it is true that you are RESPONSE
bile for Hard boiled Smiths parole
it simply means that Your conception
of justice is sadly distorted, the
representative wrote. He made this
statement. he said. because of his in
innate knowledge of the trial of
Smith and of conditions recently
called to his attention that men who
have shown no vicious tendencies. but
who have simply committed infrac-
lions of military discipline, are still
suffering punishment
He cited one case in which a SOL
dier who struck a sergeant while in
toxicated is still serving a sentence
reduced from twenty-five years to five
years, adding that it is q traveSty on
justice to keep him behind the bars
until he is entitled to parole under the
law and at the same time parole
Smith because authority exists in his
case"
Cites Gen. March's Testimony.
Gen. Peyton c. March, chief of
staff. admitted before the congress
sional investigating committee, Mr.
Dallinger wrote, that "cruelties
worse than were ever known in the
Siberian prison camps under the czaI
had been perpetrated on our boys in

Smith, and you have seen fit to make
it possible for him to escape part OF

reports you have not denied are true"

Fear was absent from her temper,
but she was shaken by impotent ex-

meant an end to everything. not
alone to these associations which
barely an hour since she herself had
planned 20 forsake. but to all her hope
of happiness with Mario. For she

she. with at least a majority of the

on the evidence Of completely in past
exploits which the police spy, Harry
the Nut. would be able to lay before
the district attorney, sentenced to
term of years in one or another of the
state penitentlaries.
And long before she had served out
her term Mario would forget her; or,
even If he did not, would never, never
by any chance, make woman with
criminal record his wife.
