THE LILLIE PARDON.
In pardoning Mrs. Iillic , who
\vis serving a life sentence for
immlerintf her husband , Gov.
Mickey far exceeded his rights
and placed a distorted construc
tion upon the pardon law. Mrs.
Lillie was convicted before a
jury of twelve men. The trial
judge after a careful considera
tion of all the evidence , denied a
motion for a new trial and held
the evidence ample to sustain the
conviction. The case w a s
argued before the Supreme court ,
all three judges agreeing that
the evidence sustained conviction.
Upon an application for rehear
ing the case was again argued to
the Supreme court , and again the
court held the conviction good.
When Governor Mickej * takes
his pen in hand and says "all
these lawyers and judges are
wrong , this woman has not been
legally convicted. " So , after
Serving a year , she is turned
loose.
After trained lawyers upon the
district and supreme benches say
that a conviction is legal , it hard
ly comports with decency and a
proper respect for the enforce
ment of law , for a man who
knows nothing of law nor the
rules of evidence , to pass his
judgment and discharge a mur
deress. The pardon law was
enacted for no such purpose as
this. The law was enacted to
shield the innocent , not to re
lease the guilty. Gov. Mickey
permitted his sentimental nature
to control his judgment and
issued this pardon to a woman
that would never have been ask
ed had the accused been a man.
"Do it now , " is a mighty motto
to remedy the short comings of
procrastination.
1 ( Gov. Mickey had held on for
another year we could have dis
pensed with the penitentiary.
George Sheldon is now in the
Governor's chair and John Mick
ey is out. It is the season for
congratulations.
The Tribune will not only give
you library votes on new sub
scriptions , but will make it worth
your while in other ways. Call
us up and get our proposition.
Get into the library contest.
Everything depends on a good
start. Get your school in the
race. This librarv would look
mighty good in some country
school house.
The Tribune predicts thai
Governor Sheldon will give the
people of this state the most progressive -
gressive and distinctive adminis
tration the state has ever known ,
George Sheldon is earnest , hon
est , fearless. He is wealthj
enough to give his time and tal
cuts to the people , and unles :
the signs arc misleading , hi :
inauguration is the beginning o
a remarkable and inspiring
career.
It cost this county $3,000 t <
follow the advice of Bill McCra ;
and the Martins in the Barad ;
bridge cases. Of course Martii
finally got into the case and
earned , or rather collected , a fe
out of the county. If the boari
of supervisors should again fol
low the advice of these two Solo
nions , you may depend upon it
history will repeat itself. ' Tha
is to say , the county will be ii
for a big damage suit because o
breaking the bridge contract
and Martins will earn , or rathe
collect , another fee from th
county.
