...Debs: "under no circumstances will I apply for pardon I made no defense when I was tried because I felt that I had committed no crime. If I should apply for pardon it would be in my eyes an acknowledgment that I was wrong when I stood my ground for the right of free speech in the United States...
Tumor. In the case upon which Dr. Dandy operated, the youth began last December to show strange symptoms. He was depressed, erratic, wanted to commit suicide.
