At the meeting of tho Twentieth
Century club Wednesday evening defi
nite action was taken toward launch
ing a movement to get a petition in
llie hanU6 of tho Governor asking that
Roy Roberts' death sentence bo com
muted to life lnprlsonmcnt.
Tho club met for regular meeting
and on account of tho number of la
dles present who were not members
tho mccilng was tifrned Into a mass
mooting The question of Mr. Roberts'
sentence was presented by Mrs. B. A'.
Cram. She spoko at some length re
garding the sentence and voiced the
BeiiUnit-nt of all present and many
of tho citizens of this city. She said,
in substance, that In as much as Roy
Roberts had boon permitted to grow
up In itIii e on account of the negli
gence of tho christian people it was
no more than right and proper that the
people now attnmpt 'to redeem them
selves for their former negligence in
making overy effort possible to get his
sentence commuted.
Sho said that sho for one und that
tho body as a whole had no criticism
for the jury, the court or the prosecu
tion for they had performed their duty
according to tho law and had done It
well, and that Roberts had received
only tho pennlty of the law which he
had known of Ix-fort tho crime was
committed. Tho people were re
sponsiblo for the negligence to the
boy In letting him grow up in crime
and It was for them to now Intercede
for him and give him a chance.
Tho remarks were put In the form
of a motion asking that a committcce
bo appointed to take necessary steps
In getting a petition in tho hands of
tho governor and upon a second the
motion was unanimously passed, not
howover, until others present had
voiced practically tho same senti
ments.
