George Timberlake Must Spend Full Time In Bloomington Jail.

Geo. M. Timberlake, the former Lafayette citizen who was convicted at Bloomington of selling booze, and sentenced to pay a fine and serve 30 days in jail, will have to remain in jail the full time. He was anxiqus to get out, he stated, to witness the footbalL game next Saturday between Purdue and I. U., and he appealed to Governor Marshall* to be pardoned. The governor said he would not pardon him unless President Bryan, of the University, Judge Hogate, dean of the law 7 school, and Judges James B. Wilson and Robert. W. Miners requested the pardon. These men refused to sign any request and the gay George will get out of jail the day before Thanksgiving. Timberlake w r as convicted under the “blind tiger” law after selling large quantities of “Egyptian malt” to the students at I. U. President Bryan very properly refused to sign a request for his release.
