loyal friends. This court has been
sympathetic, because it has felt he
was a dupe and misled. The court
wishes it could do more for you now.
The court has met you more than
half way.
"If Mr. Schermerhorn was alone
Involved, the court would have no
hesitancy in granting a parole. But
there are others. Society must be
protected. The court will approve
the recommendations for a condi
tional pardon at the end of six
months, In which the attorney gen
eral and the district attorney con
cur. The court feels the ends of
justice will be met, and society pro
tected, by the course It has 'taken."
State Not "Vindictive"
Assistant Attorney General Moody,
In a short address to the court, said:
"The state la not vindictive, but it
wants a full measure of Justice, as
a warning to others that the condt
ttona that brought about the present
situation shall never prevail in this
county again." The assistant attor
ney general told the court, "it is true
that Mr. Schermerhorn enjoyed a
good reputation up to the time of
the ballot thefts. He bad a fair and
Impartial trial and was convicted by
residents of his own county."
Attorney Moody reminded the court
that 'Mr. Schermerhorn received a
measure of leniency, in that he receiv
ed a year less sentence than other
defendants."
The court room was only moder
ately filled for the proceedings, which
lasted half an hour. Many came In
the expectations of being witnesses.
Among the Interested spectators were
Mrs. Electa A. Fehl and Mrs. J. Ar
thur LaDieu, wives of ballot theft de
fendants now in the penitentiary.
The general sentiment In the city
and county was that the decision of
the court was wise, and Justice had
been admirably tempered with mercy.
. The Schermerhorn case la the last
of the ballot theft cases. He was
sentenced August 7 last and has been
at liberty since on bonds pending
settlement of an appeal tr the state
supreme court. He was recently de
nied a hearing by that tribunal.
Now 68 years of age, Schermerhorn
has lived for 40 years In this city
and county, as farmer and contractor,
well known and respected. Up to
the time of his association with Agl-;
t a tors Banks and Fehl, there never
was a blemish on his reputation.!
However, he became deeply involved
in the intrigues of this pair and,
like others now expiating their crime,
fell under their baneful influence, to
his present sorrow. He now comes
under the grim mandate of the law.
and hundreds of Jackson county res
idents feel he (s "more sinned against
than sinner." Many addressed let

be granted.
