The Evansville Indiana Daily Senti

has a dmtlile-leaded leader in favor of

E. Leo is the first choice of. n grand

Washington says:
The first trial by a military eoniiuis
ion and sentence of a Citizen by the
same, under the reconstruct ion net, has
just been completed in New Orleans,
and the record of the case font aided
to tin President for approval. The
ease was that of one .1. W. Walker,
who killed a I'recdmaii and was arrest
ed and acquitted by the civil tribunal.
On his living arrested by the military
authorities, he was tried by a commis
sion and sentenced to hard labor and
imprisonment for six years. An effort
is being made to get the man pardoned,
on the ground that the crime was com
milted before the reconstruction law
was passed, and that the life of the de
fended had been twice put in jeopardy
contrary to the Constitution of the
