Omaha, Neb.
State Senator Bushee, whose sig
nature as acting governer brought
about the release from the peniten
tiary of Beryl Kirk, serving a 20
years' sentense for the murder of an
Omaha police detective, "regrets"
that the World-Herald insists on un
covering the full facts of this re
markable proceeding.
The World-Herald suggests that
its interest is due simply to a desire
to gain a satisfactory answer to the
following questions, which it con
siders pertinent and for the public
interest:
Why should a man convicted of
an atrocious murder after a bold
daylight robbery be released after
serving only IS months of a 20-year
sentence?
Why should a convict be released
on a turlough. something un
known to the laws of the state
when he was not eligible to release
on parole, the method prescribed by
law for such cases.
Why did an acting governor, in of
fice but a few days, extend such
favor to a man who had been re
fused release by the governor and
parole officials after full investiga
t ions
Why was the order for release
signed in the private law office of
the convict's attorneys, who happen
to be close political and personal
associates of the acting governor?
Why does not Governor McKelvie
order the immediate rearrest of the
convict, with regard for tlfo safe
guarding of the public and the
maintenance of justice, rather than
for the "courtesy" due a fellow state
official?
Those are questions the World-
Heral 1 would like to have some one
answer. These are questions which.
it believes, the people of the state
wish answered.
The case would not be so import
ant if it were the only instance of
release of criminals of this sort. But
it is only a few ninths ago that
Governor McKelvie ordered the re
lease of Densmore, the man whose
crime aroused the entire state when
it was denounced as one of the black
est deeds of Nebraska's history. It
is only a few days ago that a con
vict was paroled who was serving
his second sentence, who had a rec
ord as a parole breaker, and who was
charged, within a week after his re
lease, of a new crime committed in
Lincoln.
It is particularly disconcerting, at
a time when men are leing urged
to have respect for law and order,
that those in charge of its affairs
should act thus carelessly, to use no
more severe term. It Is particularly
astonishing that a criminal should
be released from the penitentiary on
an order written in a private law
office, under no known authority of
law. World-Herald.
