FRIDAY, DeSäehev A IH * THE DAILY TIDINGS G 3. READ, W. fi. PERKINS, news « ditos MANAGING EDITOR ASHLAND DAILY TIDINGS By Williams Illinois is to have * hanging party unequaled in the criminal history of the United States. Six men, all convicts in the Illinois state penitentiary» are to “ swing by {he neck” for the killing of a deputy warden, who crossed their path when, they made a break for liberty; • While all of the six did not actually commit the erime, all were parties to it. Any ofie of the sextet would have taken a life if necessary to gain his end. The man who killed the warden was at heart no more guilty than his companions who watched him commit the crime. All had an equal Ijart and all will have equal punishment Most of the oonvicts were long tenners. Had the jury recommended a lighter sentence it would have meant, at most but a few more years in jaiL to .them it would have meant nothing, because they would have died before their present terms expired. Any other than the death penalty would have been ho penalty at all. Hanging was the only, punishment the jury could mete out This bread of punishment may serve to soften some of the “ hard hoil4**,who have looked lightly on the lives of prison guards in the past It may serve to deter jail breaks. « n r a W já le tlfllsh. . the rest of the lumber tor fto- hiking of, the club will be oB the Jeb any minute ft is culled tor SM the final wind up fa well In The Festival of Tonight HÉROES AR6 MADE — NOT BORN Ashland *s firet holiday festival opening will take place tonight.
