On the way the banker told his story to “Bill,” and so impressed was the vet eran ranger that he at once started an investigation on his own account. In the meantime friends of the banker had succeeded in getting the sentence reduced from five years to a year and a day. But this did not satisfy “Bill.” He had found that all the man had told him was true, and he did not hesitate to say that no in nocent man was going to stay in the penitentiary if he could help it. His friends said he was foolish to proceed any further, as everything possible had been done. “No, it hasn’t,” said "Bill.” “I’ll pay my own fare to Washington and lay this case before the .President rather than see an innocent man do time In the pententlary. I know the man is innocent, and I won’t rest until he is freed.” So ‘'Bill” packed his suit case and started for Washington, armed with the papers in the case. On his arrival here he went at once to the Department of Justice, where he was told that nothing further could be done for the banker. “Weil, we’ll see about that," said “Bill.” "Bill” saw’ the President and the next day the banker wa.s pardoned.
