The biggest step towards placing Way-

General W. E. Thomas, of the South
ern Judicial circuit, to the granting
pardon to the three Rawlings
boys, Milton, Jesse, and Leonard, has
been filed with tho state prison com
mission.
After reviewing the legal aspects
of tho crime, and the legal aspects of
Justice as meted out to the boys, he
enters at length into a full recital of
the revolting details of the murder
of the Carter children, and takes the
position that the four years served by
the boys have not constituted ade
quate penalty.
'Sympathy has its* place In the hu

purpose should never be used to de

protection of the laws, or to subject
them to tho ravage* and murdereous
assaults of the assassin/*
