states that the 1928 Increase will bring

Rates in Hooper are increased as

changes will be raised 10 cents, but
the commission denied the company
the right to increase rates in the

The balance is made up by permitting

For years they heard nothing OF

Parole Irks
Gov. Bryan
Executive Doubts Right of
Lincoln Judge to Free Con.
victe dParticipant in
Tram Holdup.
Seeks Light on Matter

Lincoln, Dec. 26.-Members Of the
state board of paroles and pardons
are at loss today to understand the
release Monday of Chester Morgan,
"a, convicted holdup man, who was
paroled from the bench by District
Judge Morning after he had served
two days in the penitentiary.
Morgan was arrested recently with
four companions and charged with
holding up a Lincoln street car. They
pleaded guilty in district court in the
morning and that afternoon wer~
given 10 years apiece by Judge Morn
ing, the speed with which they were
sentenced causing considerable COM
ment.
Morgan, in company with the other
four was taken to the penitentiary.
but was removed Saturday and
brought before the Judge two days
later when he was paroled.
Judge Morning. in discussing the
case today, said that he was not GER
tain of the legal grounds of his ac-
|tion, but that extenuating circum-
stances in Morgan's case justified his
release. Morgan. he said. was not an
active participant in the holdup which
netted $40. but sat in an automobile
and waited for the other four.
The legality of the judges action
was questioned today by Governor
Bryan, who is a member of the board
of pardons. the governor declaring
that he had no previous knowledge
that a prisoner at the penitentiary
could be released or removed except
after a hearing before the board.
The governor said he had received,
during his term Of office, numerous
petitions from prisoners in city and
county jails. who stated that they
had been advised by district and
county judges that their release could
only be granted by the board.
Judge Morning raises a question
that the board would be glad to know
more about" the governor said. IF
there is a statute applying in Nor
gan's case we are unaware of 1t, and
any information that we can get on
the subject will enable the board TO
act more intelligently in future cases.
However. until / hear officially of
the matter. l must assume that Judge
Morning knew what he was doing
when he released Morgan"
