POWERLESS TO AID,
GOVERNOR REPLIES
Woman With Husband in The
Penitentiary Seeks to Fol-
low Him.

Jackson, Miss, March 10.-An
unusual case was brought to the at
tention of Governor Russell this
morning by Captain Grimshaw Of the
Salvation Army headquarters at Jack
son, when he accompanied Mrs. G..
c. Robinson of Lauderdale county to
the Governors office. The Salvation
Army man was on the A. & v. train
when his attention was called to the
destitute condition of woman and
two babies in another coach, and
whose husband was also on the same
train, bound for the penitentiary
farm at Parchman. Captain Grim
shaw Investigated and found that to
be true, wherefore, on arrival at
jackson, he induced the woman to
see the governor first on her propos-
al to accompany her husband to the
convict farm.
The story told the governor was
that the husband had been sent up
for fve years for seduction-his vic
tim being an orphan girl, aged II,
who was staying at the Robinson
home during the wife's illness. Later
the girl told the story of her shame
and Robinson's arrest and conviction
followed. Since his arrest, or just
three weeks ago, another baby ar
rived at the Robinson home, but in
spite of his associations with the girl,
Mrs. Robinson seems to have condon-
ed, if she has not forgiven his wrongs
and when he was started to the pen
itentiary for five-year stay, she
bundled up her two babies, one three
weeks, the other less than three years
of age, with the avowed purpose of
going to the farm to be near him thru
the long years of his confinement.
Governor Russell said he was pow
erless to permit her to go to the farm
and turned down her petition. I'm
der the circumstances there was
nothing for Captain Grimshaw to do
but to take, the woman and her babies
to Salvation Army headquarters.

AT the present writing, 1t is "any-

As announced at the beginning
OF the campaign, the second

FRANCE ALLO7S
PREPARATION FOR
PO|LU s DEATH
(By The Assoclnted rress.)

Paris. Dec. 1.-THE French gov
eminent has now done something
to atone for the unfortunate error
made in June. 1916. when Lieuten-
ants Herduin and Militant were
summarily executed without court
martial or any form of judgment,
within forty-eight hours of the re-
treat from Fort Douaumont on
Verdun.
Louis Barthou. minister of war,
has written to Madame Herduin,
the widow, saying that 100000
francs has been allotted to her as
civil reparation, and $4,000 francs
have been similarly allotted to the
father of Lieutenant Militant.
The letter of the minister says
that the evidence given in a recent
action that Madame Herduin had
taken against Paris newspaper
for libel had made him re-examine
the petitions that she had sent to
him and his predecessors at the
war office.
III this grievous event is to be
Judged impartially," the letter says.
sit cannot be separated from the
tragic hours when the fate of
France was bound UP in victory be-
fore Verdun> but it can only have
been brought about by a mistaken
application of the regulations.
Your husband, very we'll noted and
decorated with the military medal
during the war, was a courageous
officer whose name you and your
little son can bear with honor. The
law does not permit revision of his
case but the government on my
proposition has decided to award
you civil PREPARATION"
Madame Herduin and the elder
Militant have accepted the govern
ment's offer and so far as they are
concerned this painful affair is now
closed.
When Herduin faced the firing
corps he refused to have his eyes
covered and said a few words to
the squad, that 1t was their duty to-
obey orders without questioning
their justice. Then he himself gave
the order to fire.
1t was later proved that a mis-
take had been made and that
neither officer had abandoned his
post but as the order to execute
them had been given summary
without the process Of military law,
the authorities always insisted
there was no means to revise the
Judgment or exonerate the victims
of the error.
Last June Paris newspaper
published an article on the case of
the two officers declaring that
Herduin had abandoned his post
and was an alcoholic. Madame
Herduin brought an action for def
amation alleging that such charges
were untrue. She won a verdict
for 5000 francs, whereupon the
utilized the occasion
to compensate the officers widow.
