TO THE CITIZENSHIP OF ILLINOIS:

The undersigned citizens Of Illinois, constituting a committee having in charge the circulation
of petitions throughout Illinois asking Governor Augustus E. Willson, of Kentucky, to pardon Caleb
Powers, present the following address in behalf Of this movement:

Caleb Powers, charged with being an accessory before the fact to the murder of William Goebel,
has been tried four times; three Of said trials were held before judges who were afterward removed
from the bench by afﬁdavits setting out speciﬁc bias and prejudice against him.

The juries in his ﬁrst three trials were intensely partisan and the verdict Of conviction in each Of
said trials was reversed by the highest court in Kentucky.

His recent trial and its result is fresh in the minds Of the people. The last jury composed Of
eight Democrats and four Republicans, stood ten for acquittal. Notwithstanding this fact, together
with the further condition that for more than an hundred years in Kentucky it has been the general
practice tO admit to bail a defendant when a jury cannot agree upon a verdict, Caleb Powers was
denied bail and remanded again tO jail. Immediately" Caleb Powers pressed for immediate trial, set-
ting Out that his long imprisonment and poor health made it necessary for another hearing Of his case
in ten days. His plea was refused and he was ordered back to jail and trial set for next July.

For eight years this young man has lain in the jails of Kentucky. He has endured much. Pa-
tiently he has waited in the hope Of ﬁnal freedom by a jury Of his peers. He has made a brave,

, manly ﬁght, asking no quarter, seeking no favor other than that guaranteed by the law Of the land.

His ﬁght for freedom will live in history. Caleb Powers has no private fortune. The expense
attached to these trials has been enormous, the last one costing more than ten thousand dollars on
the part Of Powers’ friends and it is estimated that the cost on the part of the Commonwealth was
almost forty thousand dollars. Caleb Powers has been four long years accumulating from the sale of
his book and private subscriptions from nearly every state in the Union the amount required for his
last trial. 'We are reliably informed that the recent trial has exhausted what funds had been gath—

» ered by public contribution for his defense. Therefore he is without means to stand the expense of
another trial. '

It was more than four years between the third and fourth trial of Caleb Powers; and while his
case has been set for trial next summer, from the history Of the continuances taken in these cases in
the past, it is by no means certain that it will then be tried. In the meantime what Of Powers?
Eight years Of jail conﬁnement is a test Of physical endurance which is almost beyond the compre-
hension of those Of us who walk in freedom. True, this man has been a man Of steel, but there are
conditions under which even steel must give way. Tired, worn, moneyless, battling against tremen-
dous Odds for life, and honor, and all, like a wounded lion at bay, after eight long years Of almost
living death, we believe the hour has arrived when the governor Of Kentucky should end all this by
the pardon Of this Dreyfus of American politics.

In order that the people may know where to ﬁnd these petitions, we are this week mailing them
to each and every postmaster in the state Of Illinois, asking for the signatures Of all those who desire
to join in this movement, irrespective of party afﬁliations.

We most earnestly urge not only those who receive the petitions, but also some friend of Mr.
Powers in every community in the state to make a thorough canvass Of his vicinity in behalf of this
long imprisoned man. I '

‘ If for any reason the party who receives these petitions cannot circulate them, please do the ‘
committee the kindness to hand to some friend who will.

All who desire blank petitions can have them by addressing Mayor C. J. Doyle, Greenﬁeld, Illi-
nois, secretary of the Illinois Petition committee.

Should any postmaster fail to receive petitions by February 1, 1908, we ask that he, or some pat-
ron Of his Ofﬁce, notify the secretary immediately and he will forward same at once.

' All petitions must be signed and returned not later than February 10, next,—just ten days, and
earlier if possible.

Return all petitions and address all communications to Mayor C. J. Doyle, Greenﬁeld, Illinois.

Illinois, and they call upon the citi—
zenship of the state, regardless of
party, to sign these petitions when
presented.

[DEAR EDITOR: The above will
appear in The Argus this week. The
petition committee, as well as my—
self, will appreciate the publishing of

ly edition. If you can consistently
give it favorable editorial mention it

ever you may call on us in like man—
ner, I am Fraternally yours,
