To whom it may concern:

To whom it may concern:
1t is a long established rule
in our democratic society that
punishment should fit the crime
and not be excessive. James D
LiSle has lost his job.
The public press has blazoneo
his errors sensationally time
and again on its front pages
Destroyed his formerly good
name and his chances of getting
new employment, to support
himself and dependents.
Sheriff RobuSky places him
under arrest for trial. Wesleyan
Methodist minister the Rev. Cliff
ford A. Hoien in a cold trium-
phat complacent righteous let
ter published in the Geauga
news, Dec. IL, completes Lisle's
devastation by demolishing Lis
les appeal to the Scriptures for
the public's understanding of his
views.
But Rev. Hoien himself may
well recall those ScribeS and
Pharisees who gleefully brought
before Jesus the woman taken
in adultery (John 8:3-1D and
asked scornfully, What Sayest
thou?" Jesus silently waited and
wrote with his finger on the
ground. Then to their repeated
taunts Jesus answered: Let he
who is without sin cast the first
stone"
Rev. Hoien will also recall
Mathew 7:1-7 where Jesus said !:
Judge not that ye be not judg-
ed" Also Paul's words (Cor. IL:
$50 ringing like bells through
the centuries: Though 1 speak
with the tongues of men and
angels and have not charity
Qove) I become as sounding
brasSor tinkling cymbalS.
Where is the Rev. Hoien's
Christ like pity for erring men
or Cody love for human NOR
tails?
Is Sheriff RobuSky ready to
arrest everyone in the county
who at some time or other has
broken the law against adultery?
Where are those enlarged jailS
he would require to impriSon
the indicted? Or, is the unpar-
donable guilt of James D. Lisle
so deeply incarnadined that he
must be solely extremely VIC
timize while others go free?
LiSle has made errors and
will suffer the consequences, of
course. But let the punishment
fit his mistakes and not be Wis
tied upon his wife and family
and dependents he involved.
Let Geauga County justice be
fair, and the innocent ones in
volved be protected. Let Lisle
redeem himself by other work.
Those who have read LiSle' S
own written defense published in
the Dec. 5 Geauga News, expec-
tally those who have known him
even slightly, have the corrobor-
ating impression that he is of a
deeply religious nature, even a
mystic, a tender sympathetic
sensitive refined person, a COM
pletely open honest and even
naive gentleman. He should not
be destroyed by the ravening
howls of adverse publicity.
