Just a Farmer, CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE Steele, N. D. February 16, 1935. Editor, Tribune: In your paper under date of the 15th inst. we note your comment on the Bruno Richard Hauptmann kid- naping matter. We note that you are of the opinion, that when this man goes to the electric chair and there gives up his life, that there will be a quiet satisfaction that justice has been done. We hope you are right in this “that justice will have been done,” but no one but the Almighty God in heaven knows to a certainty whether or not this man is guilty. This man Was convicted on a chain of circum- stantial evidence and no chain of cir- cumstances ever was so perfect that it would not at times point the finger} “Ags, of guilt at an innocent person. The writer followed this chain of evidence as it was given and we know that there were handwriting experts who swore as positively that the ex- tortion notes were not written by the defendant, as did those who swore they were in his handwriting.

The reason is jealousy on the part of the two main per- formers. Originally Captain Schneider trained three bears to work together. Four years ago one died and a new bear was found to take its place, but the survivors of the original trio refused to accept the newcomer as an actor. Every attempt to work them together results in trouble. The un’ ie member of the trio has a reper- toire of his own but hasn't been given an opportunity to show it in public. Bears are jealous animals and Captain Schneider still is waiting for the three to become friends before attempting to work them together before an audience. ~ About It, Pirandello; Square Shooter, Raine; Beyond the Desert, Rhodes; And Quiet Flows the Don, Sholok- hov; Week-End, Stong; Santa Dolores Stage, Tuttle; Road to Nowhere, Walsh; The Other Lovers, Widdemer, and Heaven's My Destination, Wild- er. aine, Minn., leaped 128 and 134 feet, Tree Belt Officials but the national boys’ champion fell poth mes.

I think it is everybody's Going back some 40 years ago when the Indians went on the war path, the government had to have teams to take supplies to the soldiers. About 38 teams left Ft. Yates on the 12th of January. We were furnished a small tent, but had to provide our own bed- ding. We were loaded with corn and oats and other supplies. The wage per Gay for man and team was $3, but in case you drove someone else's team you got $1.50 per day. At night we away the snow, pitched our tent and spread the bedding on the guns. eats consisted of hard tack, fat bacon and coffee, having, of course, to use tin dishes. How would a job like this appeal to some of you people at the State Capitol who are hollering for average of 27c and pay 8c for shock | penitentiary for life and give him aj should have been relegated to the threshing, 7!2c for twine, and if you had a fair crop say 15 bushel to the acre, it would take 2 pounds of twine to the acre, which would mean an- other cent, and if there was a cook car with the machine—that’s another two cents, which make 11 cents from 27 cents, and you have left 16 cents. does the government expect we farm- ers to pay $1.35 for wheat that we sold for 16c profit. Barley was as low as 6c and rye 13 cents. About the soldier bonus. Lots of these young men are on the sunny side of 40 yet and perhaps never saw the battle field, never smelled powder, and came back better men than when they went over. I suppose they come in for a bonus too? Most of these men you will have for 30 or 40 years yet. Now a word for the farmer. Take the real farmer, the man that has paid taxes close to 40 years—raised a good sized family, gave them an education jchance to establish his innocence, if he really is innocent, I thank God, that I live in a state in which capital punishment cannot ; be inflicted. I would say the same had jit been my baby who was 5 I would say put him where he can- {not commit any more such crimes if God that the state of my nativity (Michigan) long since saw that it was jwiser to send people who were con- |Victed of murder to the penitentiary for life than it would be to hang them if innocent, and the wisdom of that |plan was very conspicuously brought jto the front many years ago when Mr. Begold was governor of that state. One Samuel Ulm was sentenced jto life imprisonment. from Detroit, Michigan, for the murder of a man whom he never knew or saw. Ac- cordingly Mr. Ulm was incarcerated lin the state prison at Jackson, Mich- ligan. He spent 16 years behind those work for no pay and deny themselves | him in the face, confessed to the crime everything but a mere existence— | for which Samuel Ulm was doing time. that’s the average farmer of today. The good governor of that state at dump-heap of ancicnt barbarism long ago. Just why is it that a judge, who has spent many years of his life in solving the most intricate problems of law, listening day after day to the recital of facts, is not better qualified to de- cide facts as well as law than a few People who happen to be taxpayers that they, each and severally, are the most credulous of all people in the county? The writer has had a lot of ‘such experience and if you allow me my choice today, if I were charged with crime, I wotld much prefer to be jtried before one hard-boiled judge than before 12 half-baked-jurymen. Again I want to say that I am proud of the fact that I live in a state where ‘we frown on murder in any guise and where we look upon hanging, electro- cuting, and death by lethal gas, as just another name for murder.
