Governor pardoned embezzler and hearted reaction
Analysis of a Marion county treasurer embezzlement case where a governor granted an executive pardon amid public sympathy for the embezzler’s daughter. The piece contrasts the later confession of the mother of a six week old baby, imprisoned for ten years, with ongoing debates on governance and constitutional rights. It weaves in Corrigan’s Dublin flight and a broader critique of tax costs and state expenditure.

Rain Pours Across Nation Causing Deaths and Damage
Rain that drenched most of the United States for days has caused at least eight deaths and millions in losses to crops, homes, roads, and lines from Maine to Texas. The weather bureau linked the downpours to a deep tropical air mass four miles thick. In Texas, swollen rivers uprooted homes and stranded families while others were rescued from a barn roof. New Jersey and New York saw drownings and a fatal bus crash near Hackettstown. Flooded highways, submerged basements, and rail delays disrupted life along the Atlantic seaboard as forecasters warned of more rain before a clearing pattern.
