Debsl' Joe Hill, convicted of a murder he (1 did not commit, is sentenced to he n shot in October in Salt Lake City,L Utah. Hill was convicted upon purely circumstantial evidence by a prejudic-h ed jury after being refused his consti- lt;fi-Jtutional right to choose his own eoun- 1 J- sel. Without going into detail at this Ih time there is sufficient evidence to i i-i convince any unprejudiced mind that « Joe Hill was convicted because of his militant activity in the labor move-,e ment. He is an “undesirable citizen” l- of the I.WAV. variety, but he is any- | f- thing but a murderer. I' ® ii 11 is of a poetic temperamentl' and is the author of songs of labor ofgenuine merit; he is of a tender, sympathetic and generous nature and ut- | terly incapable of committing the s I crime charged against him. And now e | he is sentenced to be shot and we s must go to his rescue and use all our e j influence to save his life. The days1 are few and there must be immediate l*jaction. Let every one who is willing n to help write to Hon. William Spry,n Covernor of Utah. Salt l.akr City!Utah, petitioning the governor for the at Sm llill. This petition ought to he circulated and as numerously signed as possible and there i should be no delay in sending it. Money is also needed ami till (j| yg } should contribute our mite and help in ! u I every other way we can to save tin c | lift, of this brother of ours in the I cause of labor. * ' 1
