Stanton Man Freed
From Prison Due to
Error Of Trial Judge

Lincoln, Aug. 17.-(Special.) j.
Harry Thompson stepped from the
state penitentiary a free man today
after serving a little more than a
year of 10-year sentence for man
slaughter.
His sentence was set aside by the
supreme court because the trial judge
submitted to the jury the question
of his guilt in several degrees al
though the complaint against him
specified murder in the first degree.
The jury acquitted him on that
charge and found him guilty Of man
slaughter.
The revrsal was handed down July
7. Under the law the prosecuting
attorney must ask for a rehearing
within 40 days or the case is forever
dismissed and the prisoner is freed.
The prosecutor in Stanton county
failed to take this action. records
show, and as the 40 days have
elapsed he was released.

Irish Leaders
To Reject Peace
Plan of Britain
De Valera Declares Dali Fire
ann Will Not Accept Terms
Offering Dominion Status
To Country.
By The Associated Press.

Dublin, Aug. 17.-Eamonn de
Valera, Irish republican leader, de-
clared today that the Dali Eirearn
would not accept the terms offered
by the British government extend
ing to Ireland an offer of dominion
status.
Mr.. De Valera made this declara-
ton at the second session of the
Dali Eireann, held in the Mansion
House, to take up the question of the
negotiations with Premier Lloyd
George with regard to possible
Irish settlement.
From the reports this morning in
the British and foreign press" said
Mr.. De Valera, there seems to be
doubt as to what our attitude is to-
wards the British proposals. There
seems to be doubt as to whether
what 1 have said or whether our let
ter means acceptance or rejection.
There ought to be no doubt in
anybody's mind. We cannot and
will not, on behalf of this nation, ac-
cept these terms.
There is an Indian proverb read
ing: Fool me once, shame on you;
fool me twice, shame on me- The
Irish people will not be fooled this
time. ..r-
1T is said we are offered the status
OF dominion home rule for Ireland
the status of British dominions. Ire
land is offered no such thing. The
statement that Ireland was offered a
dominion status contained two false
hoods. Where is Ireland? There is
no Ireland in the terms but two
broken pieces of Ireland.
What was offered was not even
dominion status. 1t was admitted
the dominions had the right to secede
and could get out if they desired.
We arc told we must stay in
whether we like it or not.
"All the time these negotiations
have meant an attempt to get into

ThreeMiles
OfPaviineIs
Approved
State Engineer Recommends
Contractor Proceed With
Laying of Lincoln High
way Brick.
Washington Road Faulty

Three miles of concrete base laid
On the Lincoln highway by the
Murphy Construction company is up
to specifications, according to a re-
port made by State Highway Conf
missioner Johnson to the Douglas
county commissioners yesterday
afternoon.
This is on the three miles Of Lin
coin highway paving base right this
side of Waterloo.
The professors tests on the con-
crete base laid Immediately the other
side of Waterloo have not been
completed. But as far as they have
gone they show deficiency in
strength of the base. Two samples
have been tested and show a COM
preston strength OF only o8l pounds
instead of the 1900 to 1900 pounds
compression strength shown by con-
crete base laid on the Lincoln high
way last year
Tests Are Made.
An investigation started about a
month ago when reports were re-
ceived from various sources that the
contractor. was skimping on the
amount of cement used in the con-
crete. Prof. Clark Mickey of the
state university has been conducting
tests with compression machine on
six-inch cubes of concrete taken
from the base and founi, according
to the report presented yesterday that
the average compression test of the
concrete base, on the three miles
this side Of Waterloo, 2e days after
laying is 1894 pounds to the square
inch. Compression strength of the
curb was found to be 5000 pounds
to the square inch.
But the base on this three miles
was found to be about four and a
half per cent thicker than the six
inches required. Therefore the conf
preston strength is about equal to
that of last year.
Proceed With Brick.
The state highway engineer recon-
rnended that the commissioners
direct the contractor to go ahead and
lay brick on Section Of the Lincoln
highway job, which is about three
miles just this side of Waterloo.
The outcome is just as l ex-
pected," said County Commissioner
O'Connor. "All this hullabaloo by
people who thought they saw some
thing wrong and now the test shows
there was nothing wrong except their
imaginations."
Il knew everything was all right"
said "Dick" Murphy, head OF the
company doing the Lincoln highway
job. II am confident they will find
the remaining concrete all right,
too"
Base Too Rough.
The state engineer, according to a
dispatch from Lincoln in The Bee
yesterday declared that from D.
600 to 1000 feet of the concrete
paving base laid by the Allied Con-
tractors, Inc, on the Washington
highway will have to be torn up and
relaid because it rs just too rough to
put an even brick surface on it,
1--WE aren't preparing to tear up
that solid ribbon of hard concrete"
declared James NJ. Kelley OF the
Allied Contractors, mot by a long
ways. While it may be true that the
surface of the concrete is somewhat
rough, remember that a cushion of
sand an inch and a half thick goes
between the concrete and the brick.
That will take up all unevennesses.
IF necessary, we can smooth
over some of the rough places with
concrete. But it won't be torn up

Thompson
ByHarding
Omahan Sentenced in "Wild
Horse" Case Saved From
Prison by Executive
Clemency.
Move Urged by Jurors

Charles NJ. Thompson will not
have to serve year and a day in
the United States penitentiary in
Leavenworth for conviction in the
Arizona wild horse case.
The Omaha man was restored to
the full rights of citizenship Tues
day through pardon from Presi-
dent Harding, local federal authori-
ties were notified yesterday.
Thompson's application for exec
utive clcmency was one Of the most
complete on record. 1t was filed
originally during the administration
of former President Wilson and sup
plemented since the inauguration OF
President Harding.
Signed BY Jurors.
The application for pardon was
signed by II of the II jurors who
convicted him and was endorsed by
Judge Woodrough, who imposed
the sentence of year and day.
In addition Judge Woadrough. i'll
a personal message to the pardon at
torney at Washington, admitted he
entertained great doubt of the guilt
OF Thompson and explained that he
imposed sentence as result OF the
jury's decision rather than his own
personal belief in the matter.
The 18th member of the jury which
convicted Thompson, Charles Voss,
died before his application for par
don was made. but an affidavit was
offered by his son, Arthur T. Nosss,
65l0 Binney street. who said his
father was the one juror who held
out for acquittal for Thompson and
only consented to verdict OF guilty
when the remaining II promised to
urge clemency.
L. A. Thompson, former postothce
inspector and the man who con
Quoted the investigation of the
Arizona Wild Horse case that re-
suited in the indictment of 45 men,
also urged a pardon for Thompson.
Thompson Heaviest Loser.
The former Inspector declared his
investigation showed that Thompson
was the heaviest loser i'll the United
States Live Stock company.
According to the inspector
Thompson sold out his interest in a
bank at Newport, Neb., to invest
$4,000, the savings of lifetime,
in the United States Live Stock
company. He lost it all.
In 1912, two years before the IN
dictmeat. the inspector said, Thomp-
son withdrew as treasurer OF the
company and advised against invest
mcnt in the company when inquiries
were made to him because he had
become skeptical of the company's
real purpose. 49,
Innocent of Fraud.
The former postoffice inspector
and Judge Woodrough Both declared
they believed Thompson was inno-
cent of any fraudulent intent j.
A. NJ. Morrissey, chief justice OF
the Nebraska supreme court, was
another who appealed for executive
clemency for Thompson.
Sentence was imposed upon
Thompson in 1917. 1t was affirmed
in 1920 by the circuit court of ap-
peals which in the same mandate
affirmed a sentence OF two years
imposed upon J. Sidney Smith OF
Omaha and two-months' jail
sentence imposed upon {. A. Smith
OF Omaha.
He has never, however, been
committed to prison, stays and
respites having been granted pend
ing appeals.
His last respite would have ex-
pred today had not pardon been is
sued Tuesday.
Thompson, now man with gray
hair. is an agent here for the North
western Life Insurance Co. He
lives at 28l7 North Nineteenth
