Show In refusing to honor the requisition of the governor of Colorado for a man named Reyuolds, Governor Thomas has taken a commendable position. An inquiry into the case shows that Reynolds Rey-nolds moved out of Colorado and took with him some mortgaged property, for which he was indicted. He had paid the mortgagors, who are money loaning loan-ing sharks, interest to the amount of $100 over the amount of the original debt. He had thus paid the mortgagors the dobt and $100 beside. Reynolds is the victim of chattel mortgage fiends, and it is thought that when tho governor of Colorado learns the above facts he will be satisfied that the refusal to honor his requisition is correct. cor-rect. In all probability the grand jury which indicted Reynolds would never have done so, had they known to what extent the poor man had been bled; but they simply were given proof that he had run off mortgaged property. We know of no more heartless set of men than the chattel mortgage fiends, who live and thrive upon the misfortunes of their poor fellow creatures. |
