Why Not Sent to rent
To the Editor:
The writer, together with many
other cltlzena of Jackson county,
wonder why C. A. Banks waa not sen
tenced to the penitentiary at the ex
piration of 48 hours after the ver
dict waa rendered. The law provides
that the motion for a new trial ahail
be filed WITHIN ONB DAY AFTER
THE ENTRY OF JUDGMENT: and the
Judgment le the sentence which will
be pronounced by the court, and In
thla case the sentence must be life In
the penitentiary. Inatesd. as we
understand It, Banks la allowed the
luxury of hospital service at the ex
pense of the taxpayers of Jackson
oounty. There la hoepttal service at
the penitentiary, which would be pro
vided at the expense of the state and
Jackson county would be relieved of
the expetiae of hospital service for
this felon. It he were sentenced at
once. Why confer any especial favors
on this murderer

By O. O. McIntyre
NEW YORK. May 27. Recently I
spoke casually of a tender letter from
a little blind gil that evoked a choke.
A number asked me to print It, and,

produced here
with, with only a
few minor elis

were so nice to

O. O. Mclntyre books which are
being read. I am going to try to tell
you what a happy time we had.
"It waa such a summery day that
at the last moment we decided that
instead of gathering In the house we
would" hold the party on the lawn.
At first I was timid about the lawn,
for sometimes I bump Into the trees.
It doesn't embarrass . me, but those

such, but all suggested we Just tax

"I told them about the time I went

Just nine and fell In love with the
villain of the play. He wore riding
boots and a sombrero and between
acts sang as he walked down the aisle.
When he passed me he patted my
head. -1 felt like the shepherdess
chucked by a wicked young squire.
For many weeks he waa my dream
prince. Some one Inquired: 'Did you
ever see him again?' then stopped
and there was a hush. I felt sorry the
speaker was embarrassed. Those sud

to make people understand that I am
not unhappy without emphasizing
happiness. But to get back to the
party. We had a fruit salad, cakes,
tea and lemonade and more talk and
one of the girls played a ukulele ac
companiment while we all sang
songs that are proDaDly old to New
York, but somewhat new here.
"They must have had a good time
for they remained until Uncle came.
After our dinner we sat on the porch
and I retold the things we said and
did during the afternoon. Now up in
my room I am writing them to you
also to thank you again for the books,

he didn't know. He had never seen

Stephenson went immediately to the

flight of stairs, and was notified of
the death of Prescott within three
minutes, and then thereafter Mr. Ste

and saw Mr. Wheeler apparently com

Now. are you going to say that Mr.
Stephenson and Mr. Rogers lied?
Wheeler himself said he was In the
court house that morning making
arrangement for a loan to get some
seeds. Now that's their witnesses.
These are the witnesses that testified
as to seeing Prescott drop his pistol,
and how can any impartial person
say that their testimony la true? In

them said that they didn't see any

knows that there is an Individual that
participated In the crime, but don't
know his exact name, and they put
that In until they arrest him. when
his right name Is disclosed, and that
is usual In many Indictments.
"You remember that there are a
good many members of the Good
Government Congress that were mixed
up In this ballot stealing affair. And

here, but that case will be tried In
due time, so It necessarily follows
that there are quite, a few more mem
bers of the Good Government Con
gress who will soon find out who the
John Does are for.
