SHERIFF WON'T
HONOR PARDONS
Denies SmalT's Right to Free Six
Women Held for Civil Con-
tempt Of Court

Chicago, May 9.-The question Of
the legality of the pardons issued
by Governor Small for six women
in Jail here, was taken into Judge
John J. Sullivan's court today by
John J. Healy, attorney for Sherin
Peters.
Mr.. Healy informed the court
that the women were in Jail for
civil contempt of court and could
not be pardoned, the governors
powers covering only criminal
contempt cases. Sheriff Peters has
refused to honor the pardons, which
arrived last night and the. women,
sentenced for picketing in a strike
three years ago, are in jail.
Mr.. Healy did not make any mo-
tions, however, and Judge Sullivan
said constitutionally there was
nothing that he could do.
I'VE want to release these wom-
en- as quickly as possible, but can
find no legal way to do it," Mr..
Healy said. IF the sheriff honors
these pardons he will be guilty OF
contempt of the appellate court
which affirmed the Jail sentence
We are trying our best to find some
legal way to let them out"
