BY CLARENCE DARROW (Written for United Pram 'Cocvriirht, !MJ hr United Pram HONOLULU, May 6.—1 am confident that Governor Judd will pardon Mrs. Granville Fortescue and the three navy men convicted of killing of Joe Kahahawai. To deprive them of their civil t right* for an offense to which the Governor attached only one hour of custody in punishment would be not only ridiculous, but petty. This pardon fight is signs leant and almost as important as the fight to keep them out of prison. The idea of commuting their ten-year prison terms was entirely an idea of the state’s. Before that time, we had spent all our efforts toward full pardons. The statement of the Governor that the four defendant* and their attorneys joined in a request for commutation, and that at no lime were pardons mentioned, to Governor Judd, is literally true. But It doesn't represent all the facts. Riruw , d Pardon Matter We discussed the possibility of pardons with Harold Kay. deputy attorney-general. At no time was a commutation taken up. Whether this information went to Governor Judd I do not know. The first I heard of a commutation was when I went to lolani palace at the request of Kay. That was Thursday evening. Previously, we had talked several times to Kay and felt that pardons would be granted. At the palace. Kay told me they had concluded to issue a commutation of sentence providing for a reduction from ten years to one hour in custody of High Sheriff Gordon Ross. I informed him that nothing concerning a commutation had been discussed. I also told him that if the Governor would do nothing more than oommute the sentence, we would accept that. I made no promise that we wouldn’t continue to ask for a pardon. After I left the palace. Kay asked that we defense attorneys, acting , for our clients, make written requests for the commutations. This we did. It is possible the Governor did not know the reason we didn't ask for a pardon, but it is hardly probable. Os course, any one of the defendants at any time had a perfect right to go to the Governor and ask a pardon, even though commutation had been granted. Position Called Absurd I fancy that any one situated as we were wouldn't refuse a commutation of sentence which would reduce imprisonment from ten years to one hour of technical arrest. But I see no reason whatsoever why the Governor should insist that a pardon should be withheld from the defendants. In the face of the fact that the commutation standing alone deprives them of their civil rights, including the franchise of voting ' It seems positively strange to me that Governor Judd would propose that a sentence of one hour be served In the custody of the high j sheriff as reparation for some illegal act, and then attach a condition which would attach only In cases erf felony. The commuted sentence was less than the punishment for the mildest misdemeanor. It is entirely out of keeping with the demand that the defendants be deprived of their rights as ordinary citizens. We think it inconceivable that the Governor will insist on maintaining such an absurb position. We are confident he will not insist.

Masswon $5,000 on a bet and the world's championship in water walking when he covered 1.600 miles on the water from Cincinnati. to New Orleans. This bizarre Journey was accomplished on the waters of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers within the space of fortysix and one-half hours, February 17-18, 1907. Captain Oldrieve supported himself on the surface with watershoes of his own invention. The shoes, weighing about twenty pounds each, were made of canvas stretched over a cedar framework. It was a very perilous as well as a strenuous journey, and the water walker faced death several times during his walk and suffered from severe attacks of rheumatism afterward.
