Richard was too young to know that the coffin which baggagemen took off one of the cars ahead contained his mother's body, but he wasn't too young to know that he wanted her to comfort him.

Richard wouldn't have answered, anyway. He didn't smile, he didn't talk. He Just looked at the crowd, wistfully and afraid, his blue eyes dimmed.

Richard had on a worn gray pair of overalls, as If he had been called from play and started on the Journey. His mother, Mrs. Thoreta McLaughlin, died' unexpectedly after an operation and there wasn't much time for Richard to get ready for the trip that ordinarily would have been a lark. So he came In his overalls, with a battered suitcase and a lot of new friends. Tonight Mr.

and Mrs. Homer Hop-pus, Richard's grandparents, who didn't have the money to go to Missoula and return, took Richard home In Warsaw with them to keep him and some time, when he gets old enough to understand, they will tell him why he made the Journey and why everyone was so good to him.

Billings, both serving life sentences on convictions growing out of the San Francisco Preparedness day bombing in 1918, stood "a good chance of being materially cleared one way or another" If MacDonald would talk freely. "I would be pleased to talk with MacDonald and I feel the advisory pardon board application also would be glad to discuss the testimony with him." The governor announced his attitude when he was Informed that the state's chief witness In the trial had been arrested in Baltimore and had issued a signed statement again contending that his testimony was "untrue and false." The executive pointed out, however, that It would be legally Impossible to force the return of MacDonald as there are no criminal charges against the man. If he is returned It must be "voluntarily by interested parties," Young declared. "All persons charged by the law or the people to recommend pardons will be anxious to talk with this man who now says that bis testimony at the trials of Mooney and Billings was false." Young said. "We must know the truth." The pardon application of Mooney was rejected recently by Governor Young sfter the state supreme court refused freedom to Billings.

The latter, a two-time loser on felony counts, was forced under the state law to lay his plea before the court rather than th; state's chief executive. DILLON SHAKEN DILLON. July 12.
