Sheldon not to disturb or commute the sen

had a fair trial; no Just man denies It.
Under tha verdict and the law Clarke
ahould be hanged; no Just man denies It.
Under the law it was left to the Jury to
Ox the penalty. They fixed It at death.
It matters not what has been done in other
cases. Other murderers may have been ac
quitted. Other murderers may have had
their sentences commuted. This cannot af
fect this caae. It must be presumed that
the authorities have done tieir duties un
der the facts and the law. There la no
reason for interfering with the sentence.
AH reasons exist for sustaining it. For
ourselves and for the street railway em

let the sentence stand and the law take

Commissioner J. A. Wllliama. None of
the Nebraska railroad men appeared to

cepted the t-cent fare law, after which he

This will constitute the investigation
made hy the Kansaa men.
Railway Commissioner Clarke is m favor
of prosecuting some of the railroad agenta
who stm Insist on charging the 40-cent min
imum rate on shipments. It has come to
the board that aome railway agenta are

will be hauled up tor an example.
Governor Sheldon haa appointed Dr.
