May 23. It was well for Raffaello Marello that the mills of Justice sometimes grind surely, even if slowly.

Paroled, yet still a prisoner, Morello sits In his cell In the New Jersey prison at Trenton awaiting deportation for a crime which kept him behind stone walls and iron bars for more than eight years but which, the State Court of Pardons has ruled, he did not commit. Largely It was his inability to speak and -understand English that sent Morello to prison for life for the murder of hl-s wife ao the court found In the decision to parole him. But if was Morello's own eagerness to learn the language of his adopted country, once he found himself behind the bars, that perhaps made the mills of Justice grind a. bit more surely. Geta Draft Order Nine years ago.

Morello and An-netta, 17, his bride of four months, were happy. The war "was on and eventually Morello, who had taken out first citizenship papers, received an order to report to the Newark draft board. Unable to read English, Annetta sensed the meaning of the notice and hid it from her husband's eyes. Friends stopped Morello on the street and asked why he had not reported to be examined for army service. Annetta pleaded with him not to leave her better suicide together than that, so the testimony at Morello's trial revealed.

His wife hid the order, he learned of It, she pleaded with him not to answer, he insisted he must. Nov. 27, 1917, neighbors of her father with whom the couple had spent the night heard two shots. Mrs. Morello was dead, the husband -unconscious with a bullet in his head.

The baby swallowed the wire handle of a tar bucket which lodged in its throat, where it remained for about 12 hours. Hearst Paper Years in Jail i Morello was indicted for first degree murder. At the coroner's inquest he is supposed to have admitted his guilt to an Italian interpreter. Joseph the interpreter, later admitted the dialect spoken by Morrello was strange to him. He was tried, found guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Apparently uncomprehending he was sent to the state prison at Trenton. In prison he resumed his old trade as a mason and eagerly attended the prison English classes. To the few friends who visited him from time to time he protested his Innocence In his new language. His friends en gaged an attorney to make an In vestigation. For nearly two years the attorney followed the threads of the life prisoner's narrative.

FredericI, the Interpreter, admitted that Morello's statements at the inquest were susceptible of two Inter- Dretatlons. either "she wanted It done." or "she did It." In his prison English tho lifer Insisted that hi wife had committed suicide and that he had tried to kill himself too when he found she was dead. Because of this "false interpretation," the Court of Pardons decided to parole Morello. Ordered Paroled May 12. Morello, now 33.

Local Officers Aiding Government Might Be Used Politically CONGRESS MAY SAY NO By DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1926, by Decatur Herald) WASHINGTON, May 23 A bombshell has been dropped into the system of political organization In the United States by the latest executive order of President Coolidge, which would permit the appointment as Federal employes of any state, county or municipal officer needed in the enforcement of the Volstead act.

And the reason' is) that if the Federal government can put on its payroll men of the police force throughout the country, clerks in state and municipal government, it will have added a machinery for the detection of crime which is so far-reaching that members of Congress feel the situation will get out of hand so far as politics is.

If there is any Federal money to be spent, the senators and representatives would like to see it spent ii" a way that would permit them to have some voice in the matter. If the Federal government, on the other hand, is to build up a police force so large that a politically-minded administration can use these agents for political purposes, there again the objection to the President's executive order becomes more real than theoretical. Many states have laws forbidding the employment of their officers by the Federal government.

These, of course, are specifically exempted from the operations of the executive order of the President and If some governors should object to outside employment by their officers, natur-(Continued on page 2) FIND MISSING GIRLS IN APARTMENT RAID Young -Women nnd Two Chorus Men Arc Held on Bond for Hearing "(By A ssociated Press) CHICAGO.
