a death that throughout the years

But Governor Mclean didn't be-

state government he set to work tO

machinery Of the pardon commission
was set at work and An astounding
and colorful drama revealed which
is best summed up in the governor 5
own words:
"Thc prosecution of Yes Winglcr
was not based on any high sense Of
Justice, but was founded and inspired
by a desire to wreak vengeance on
this prisoner because Yes Winglcr
had caused Il warrant to be sworn
out against the son Of one John
Sheppard. a neighbour"
And, therein lies the story:
Yes Wingler was simple. noun

spent bis 65 years Of life on the
stubborn lands of western North

the "primitive Baptist" the emo

often was written about in connec-
tion with the Dayton, Tenn, evolu-
ton trial. 1t was his faith. he now
says, that he held to solidly during
his prison years.

might be entered through a trap and

marriage Mrs. Winglcr was found
dead at the bottom Of these stairs.
Her head apparently had struck
against the rough stone hearth that
served as cook stove.
Coronrr's investigation indicated
accidental death. The matter was
All but forgotten. From time to time
Wingler visited his wife's kin and
consoled with them. They remained
close friends. Then Wingler remar-
ried. A large family was raised and
the conquest of stubborn hill land
went on.
In April, 1922, the nine-year-old
daughter of Yes Winglcr was as
saulted. The son Of John Sheppard,

brought down from his cabin and
family, placed on trial and convicted
on Sheppard's story.
After two years passed the interest
of the state officials was aroused
and. in message completely eXoaer-
atlng Ninglcr. the governor wrote:
fortunately the coroner who Of
ficlated at the inqucsts over Mrs.
Wingler. and DR.. Turner. who made
the examinations, are still living aud
were located. Personally interviewed
they were firmly Of the opinion that
the prisoner is innocent Of any
crime.
And this John Sheppard, the prin-
cipal witness against Wingler, has
been proved to my satisfaction Il
bad charactcr--as did certain other
witnesses"
SO Yes Wingler comes home to his
Blue Ridge farm
! He carries with him the Bible that
was his companion and sOlacc when
life seemed blotted out by prison
bars and he says:
THANK God, | didn't lose my
faith. But sometimes it seemed hard
to believe in divine Justice, what
with all Of mans injusticcs."
