LANCASTER COUNTY .
MURDERER IS FREED
. AFTER 28 YEARS
Wife and Friends AO Gone;
Will Go Back to
Farm
Philadelphia, Jan. 28. —John Rudy,
who spent twenty-eight years in prison
for the murder of his father in Lan
caster county, Pa., walked out of the
penitentiary into the sunlight here
to-day a free man. Last week the
State Board of Pardons recommended
his pardon, which was granted by
the Governor.
About 100 pereons were at the peni
tentiary entrance to see the long-time
prisoner come through the big prison
gate. Rudy was met by Mrs. Mary
[ Price a social worker, who had as
sisted in obtaining his pardon. Rudy
pushed his way through the crowd
and entered a taxicab, the first of its
I kind he had ever seen, and was hur
ried away .to a church, where he of
fered up a prayer of thanksgiving.
Later he- was taken to the home of
Mrs. Price and planned to leave dur
ing the afternoon for Christiana, Pa.,
'where he will live on a farm.
At Mrs. Price's house Rudy talked of
his long imprisonment. He said he
was employed at weaving men's socks
and later was made a trusty. As a
trusty he saw for the first time a year
and a hjilf ago an automobile which
had entered the prison yard. He
stared with open-eyed wonder at tall
buildings and other modern things
he saw on his way from prison to the
church and the social worker's home.
Rudy said that when he entered
prison he had a wife and four chil
dren. His wife has since divorced
him and remarried. Rudy said he
never heard from them after he en
tered the institution, and as they never
troubled to visit him he would not
look them up. He recalled how his
family looked the lsjst time he saw
them. The youngest child was 2 years
old.
"My family could have been of much
assistance to me at my trial, but they
gave me no help," he said. "After I
was sent to prison they abandoned
me. 1 guess they thought T never
would be free again."

Taft Urges "Political
First" Principles For
Younger Generation
By Associated Press
Albany, N. Y., Jan. 28.—Former
President William Howard Taft left
to-day for Canada, after urging upon
the members of the Yale Alumni As
sociation here last night that the
younger generation should be care
fully trained In "polltcal first" prin
ciples.
"I don't like to be regarded as an
old fog}'," he said, "and I don't think
I am. We are in a transition period
which in many respects presents a
crisis in our national career. We are
in the aftermath of a struggle in
which wo have escaped a plutocracy.
But we also have made a great tran
sition and the people are aroused.
Such transitions, however, always
give rise to an excess of cranks and
crankism and they always suggest
things which are dangerous.
"We should see that the coming
generation does not lightly let go of
what centuries has given to us of
sound political principles. We must
not let the boyis take their feet off
the ground and place them in the
clouds where they would shake the
foundations of our liberty—our Con
stitution."
