Tedford did not serve his sentence because a Criminal Court cierk placed a copy of the mandate of the State Supreme Court in a pigeonhole of his desk where it has remained until to-day. Meanwhile Joshua Tedford has made good. He quit his job as a po liceman. after being convicted of ail ing in the disappearance of Maoe! Lewis, a State’s witness in the case against a man charged with burg lary. He went to work In a large clothing store, and to-day he is su perintendent of ttie place. ' A young lawyer whose client was convicted and sentenced, was respon sible for bringing the Tedford case to the notice of Chief Justice Olson, of the Municipal Court. He remarked in a speech to the court that his client had no •pull” like the one Josh Tedford had when he was sentenced to prison seven years ago. The court ordered an investigation and the pigeonholed Supreme Court decision upholding the sentence of the lower court was found. An effort was started to-day to get Governor Dunne to issue a pardon for Tedford. SMARTFST hats Kj LW Ml Ml JL (Adler Bros., Of Course) With the careless grace that marks this season’s style.
