Woman Refused
To Take Pardon
North Carolina Woman Cleared OF
Murder Charge Five Times, Refused
Freedom-Dfed in Prison, the Only
Homo She Knew.

Raleigh, n. C., Feb. Sarah Wy
ckoff, rs, is dead today, in the state
prison, after forty-two years irlprison-
ment, during which she five times de-
clined a pardon at the hands of as
many governors and after she had
lived to learn that a death bed con-
fession had completely exonerated her
of the charge for which she was SEN
fenced.
Forty-two years ago Sarah Wyckoff
entered the state prison to serve a life
sentence, as the convicted accomplice
in the murder of her husband, Wesley
Wyckoff, in Alexander county, in the
mountains of North Carolina. The
convicted principal, a negro, was
hanged.
Three years ago from the mountains
came word that a deathbed confession
had absolved the woman of connection
with the tragedy. Then for the fifth
| time she refused pardon. explaining
that she was being well treated, that
time had shattered all her relations
| with her family in the mountains and
| that she preferred to spend her last
days amid surroundings she had
learned to know so well.

BERGER is BITTER
Scores President Wilson for
Debs Communication Refusal.
Says CIOt of Blood Still Rests
on His Brain.

Milwaukee, Feb. Victor Berger
today issued the following statement
in commenting on President Wilson's
action yesterday in refusing to grant a
pardon to Eugene v. Debs:
President Woodrow Wilson had
denied a recommendation of the at
torney general that the ten year SEN
.tence of Eugene V. Debs be COM
muted to expire next February -.
And no reason for the refusal was
given at the White House.
And no reason can be given for
this procedure, other than that the
clot of blood is still resting heavily on
poor Woodrow Wilson's diseased
brain.
The decision of the supreme court
In the Chicago Socialists case showed
that there are signs of sanity return
ing to some of the departments of our
government. Sanity will not return
10 the White House, however, as long
as woodrow Wilson holds sway there.
Il - not too much to expect, never
cheiess, that a new national admins
rat1on taking office on March will
see the prosecution of the Socialists in
general and of Eugene v. Debs in
particular, in the proper light and
make clean sweep of the entire de-
plorable Wilsonian mess"
