ers' strikes. and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets. and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic

them the charge of being seekers Of
special privilege. Rather, we should
ask If their trouble Is not ours, and
see what can be done I'd improve the
situation. Purely from self-interest,

help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is II
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in

permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges;

FAMOUS KENT COUNTY MURDER
CASE BEFORE PARDON BOARD
MRS. MARY POWELL AGAIN RE-
FUSED IN REQUEST FOR PARDON
Has Already Served 20 Years In the
WOrkhOuse For Killing Estelle
Albin Near Bowers Beach

Another application for the pardon
of Mrs. Mary A. Powell, who has serv-
ed nearly twenty-years of life term
sentence in the New Castle County
WorkhOuse for the murder of Estelle
Albin, on the Hall farm, near Bowers
Beach, in February 1904, was before
the Board of PardOns at its session in
Dover, Thursday. John D. Hawkins
presented the application, but because
of a technical error it was refused by
the board without prejudice and will
probably be renewed by Mr.. Hawkins
at the next session of the board.
Under the rules of the board those
making applications for a pardon or
their counsel are required to notify
the judges who sit in the case in court
before the application is considered
by the board. Judges Spruance,
Boyce and Grubb sat in this particu-
lar case. Judge Spruance died some
years ago. Mr.. Hawkins notified
former Judge Boyce of his intention
of applying for the pardon but failed
to notify former Judge Grubb who
lives in Wilmington. Several previous
attempts have been made to secure a
pardon for Mrs. Powell.
Mrs. Powell battered the Albin girl
with chunk of wood and also stabb-
ed her during a fit of jealousy over
the attentions of her husband to the
Albin girl, who lived in the Powell
home.
Calvin NJ. Wells and George NJ. Will
ling, who with Irwin McAllister were
convicted in 1920 and sentenced tC
three years in the WorkhOuse for rob
bing the store of Joseph Levy in Do
yer, were granted a pardon by the
board. McAlister was pardOned last
July. The application for the pardon
of the other two was made Thursday
by Henry r. Isaacs. Their term!
would have expired next April.
Because of failure of council Phil
lip L. Garrett, to present the paper!
in the case in time, the Board refused
without prejudice the application fo.
a pardon for Lewis Pasquale, who il
serving time at the Workhouse.
