TIES TIMED FOR EFFORTS M GRANT REPRIEVE Chicago Youth's Attorney Thanks Readers Who Petitioned Mercy. Recognition of the part The Indianapolis Times played in securing a reprieve for Bernard Grant. Chicago boy sentenced to hang, is given in a letter received today from Thomas E. Swanson, attorney for the youth. Several thousand petitions, signed by Times readers, were sent to Governor Lem Small of IJlinois, and Swanson in his letter sends his personal thanks for the aid given in the case. Swanson is now petitioning for the release of the hoy on the grounds that he is innocent and should not have to wait ninety days for a rehearing. “Fight for Humanity” Swanson's letter: In the flood of mail and telegrams that has swamped me in the case of Bernard Grant there has been sent to me by a friend in Indianapolis a copy of The Indianapolis Times of Sept. 16. containing “A I’lea for a Boy's Life.” In behalf of the Grant boy. his family, and personally. I thank you for the aid given us by your great newspaper in our tight for justice and humanity. As you have learned ere this. Governor Small, upon receiving our petition for executive clemency this morning, at once granted a reprieve of thirty days on his own volition. We did no task for it. hut expected an early hearing, and are prepared now to introduce newly discovered evidence that will absolutely exon-e-ate the boy of all guilt. Cases Are Unalike Our honored Governor puts his reprieve on the ground that Krauser's case has not yet been decided by the courts. There is no question of Krauser's guilt. He has admitted it all along, even in his repudiation exonerating the Grant boy. The case? are in no wise alike. Grant is innocent and has stoutly maintained his innocence at all times. Krauser was identified hv the manager of the A. P. store, the man who was robbed at the time of the killing. This same man says that Grant is not the hoy who was with Kraser. and at all times has said this. No .lust Reason In the face of the policy of our laws announced in the Loeb-Leopold case, we do not think that Krauser should he hung inasuch as there should be no distinction in the enforcement of penal laws between the rich and the poor offender, hut Grant's case stands on an entirely different footing, as he is innocent and we are able to prove this. There is no just reason for keeping him incarcerated ninety days longer for a crime he never committed and was In no way connected with. Upon due consideration of the matter I may decide to petition our honored Governor to reconsider his action and grant an immediate hearing as to the Grant boy. but whatever action is taken I trust it will not prevent you from forwarding to Governor Small the response made to your "appeal.”

Labrador Fishermen Toil Long, Honrs and Risk Lives to Put Codfish Balls On Your Table

Face Detah by Sudden Storm or Crushing Ice Earn $125 to S2OO a Season, By 808 DORMAN NEA Service Writer mNDIAX HARBOR. Labrador, Sept. 23. —Close up under the Arctic circle, off the bleak and barren coast of Labrador. a little launch puts off from shore. Usually it sets forth over a sullen. gray ocean under a yet more sullen, gray sky. pushing aside the curtains of mist which part reluctantly in front only to close in behind as if to shut off all view of the world. Steadily it noses its way seaward. avoiding by instinct the my riad islands that dot these seas, threading often a precarious path through floating ice and still more dangerous icebergs. Four .Men in Crew Four men compose its crew. They make their way to shoals known only to themselves, twenty miles or more from shore. There they drop anchor .in water over a hundred feet deep. Over the side they drop a line, its end tied to an imitation rish of lead with two long hooks extending on either side. Swiftly the line pays out. It touches bottom and is then pulled up a few inches. Steadily their arms rise swiftly only to fall again—the imitation fish thus being made to simulate the frightened dash of the smaller fry in escaping tljp voracious swoop of their larger enemies of the deep. And it is thus that comes to your table the steaming plate of creamed codfish or the still more succulent codfish balls. For these men arc the cod fishers of the arctic seas. Their home is in Newfoundland | —far to the south. Early in June, as soon as the summer sun has freed these icebound waters, they put out in their frail schooners and flock to the northland by the thousands. At the numerous inlets on the Labrador coast they make their headquarters. Rising at 4 in the morning, they put out to sea in any and all weather. All through the flay their arms jerk their fishing lines in the way that they cal! jigging. Often the freezing water hurls its- spray over them. Their hands, wet and worn by the constant work at the lines, become cut and torn. Six or seven o'clock ses them back at shore —hut not to rest. Their catch must he cut up. cleaned and salted flown. If it has been reavy. it is often 10 or 11 before they can go to bed. Through Short Summer Thus through the short summer of the far north. Toward the end of October the freezing of the harbors forces them to return to their homes. if the year has teen a good one —the catches heavy and the market prices high—they may get as high as S2OO for their season's work, after their employer has deducted their living and other ex penses. Usually they receive about $123. Excepting those who do not return— whom the northern waters have taken as toll for the fish they gave. For yearly some thir'v to fifty men upeet death by sudden storm or crushing ice.

"The final dose of poison was ad ministered in some tomato soup. “That every time the Rev.

"That 1 (lid not know and he did not tell me he poisoned his wife but when she became ill and died I supposed he had poisoned her: "That until I became infatuated with Mr. Hight l had led a blameless life and had always been a true wife and mother. "And this is true, so help me God. All through the night the woman was the target of a merciless fire of questions from State's Attorney Frank Thompson. Sheriff Grant Holcomb and Coroner Jess*' Reece. She replied to all questions: "I didn't poison my husband. I ioved him. Hight might have poisoned him." Worn by Gossip Then, worn by many sleepless nights, and by the finger of suspicion gossip has been pointing at her and the pastor since the death of her husband, she began to droop. The confession of the pastor was read to her. She did not lose her presence of mind. Dr. S. J. Thompson, who treated her husband when he was ill. asked her to "make a clean breast of it.” He told her there was nothing to gain by holding back. Elsie Sweetin knew the pastor lay in a cell a few feet away in the courthouse. When dawn brok/ she weakened. Her eyes Were heavy with sleep. “We'll see that your children are taken care of.

When it was finished she scratched her signature across the document, sank back into her chair with a gasp and went immediately into a deep sleep. She was removed to a cell and put to bed.

The former friends of the pastor today pointed to his "dead game" proclivities—that pushed him to carrying out the compact—“ascribing it to the training he had in early manhood, when he was a follower of race tracks racing and sometimes riding horses. That was fifteen years ngo, but he later "got religion" and became a devout churchman. Fellow churchmen of the Rev. Hight today appealed to the public not to convict Christianity for the sin of a single church leader. Churchmen Vppeal The Rev. Hall, announcing that the Methodist Episcopal conference at Carbondale meeting Wednesday will take up the case of the Rev. Hight and (leal appropriately, said: “My hope is that no one will think less of Christ or his power to save, or because hardened or embittered at Christianity because a preacher has fallen. After all. If Christ he gone, all is gone." Another county leader of the church, Samuel Them, superintendent of the large Methodist orphanage Here said: “Christianity still has the power to change lives from sin to righteousness in this life and gives a glorious hope for the hereafter although some of its followers may perform acts similar to that of Judah."

State officials today were considering the significance of a reduction I in Indiana's State tax levy from 30 | cents to 2S cents fur- 1925. following the adoption of the figure by the State rax board Monday after an all flay session. The rate was approved by Governor Emmett F. Branch, and also by Robert Bracken. State j auditor and Phillip Zoercher. tax commissioner, but the latter two registered protests. Bracken contended the rate too low to raise funds to ; carry on the State's current expenses while Zoercher said a 2 < cent j levy would care for all expense and pay the State debt of $3,740,000 be- ; sides. General Fund Increase The levy: General fund. 4.55 cents: school. 7 cents: benevolent. S cents: colleges, 5 cents; vocational. .5 cents; memorial. .6 cents: agricultural exi>eriment. .4 cents: teachers' retirement fund. 15 cents: dunes park, .2 cents: board of agriculture, .23 cents. All but the general, benevolent and teachers' retirement funds are fixejl by statute. The general fund levy was Increased from 3 cents, the benevolent levy decreased from 12 cents and the teachers’ retirement fund levy increased from 1.05 cents. Bracken said the deficiency in the levy would cause a deficit in the genleral fund of $1,300,000 on Oct. 1, 1925 and $2,760,000 Dec. 31. 1925. The board says the debt will be paid and there will remain a balance. Bracken Predicted Debt Last year. Bracken predicted that because of a deficiency in the levy, the State at this time would be in debt $3,646,000. It is in debt $3,740,000. Bracken also objected to the board’s action because no provision was made to tide the State over from Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year, until January when the next tax payments come in. The several funds of the State are exhausted at the end of the fiscal year and the State has had usually to borrow money to tide it over. The tax board contends, however, that it has no right to levy a tax for any thing, but legislative appropriations although it annually exercises its own judgment as to what the general fund levy, the benevolent fund levy and the teachers retirement fund levy will be. With the State rate at 28 cents, these townships inside Indianapolis will have these rates: Center, ■ $2,705; Perry. $2.81;, Washington, j $2,985; Warren, $2.9825; Wayne, j $2,975.
