HARRISBURG, Pa April 2).-The celebrated
case of Milton Weston, the Chicago capitalist,
who three months ago was sentenced 10 the
penitentiary for five years for voluntary man
slaughter, comes up before the board Of par
ions 10 day, aud one OF the strongest appeals
for clemency ever received by any sim,lar body
has been fled for consideration. The ctrcum-
stances Of the case are familiar TO all newspa-
per readers, Weston In 1883 leased a gas well
OF great productive capacity ut Murrysville,
WestmorelaId county. There was another
claimant to the property and Weston consent
ed To the aImiRg Of a force OF
men to prevent bis rival taking possession
of It. A fl ht onsued, and one OF the attack
ing force Was killed by a bayouet In the hands
OF Weston man. This man Was convicted Of
murder Ia the second degree and sentenced to
ten years imprisonment, and Weeton's con
v'ction folio Ted. Among those who appeal
foI a pardon is Governor Oglesby OF Illinois,
who says that this is the FIST time In bis Off
cial career that h. has asked or a pardon for
anybody. He thinks that, knowing Weston
as well as he dos, executive clemency 8
warranted. ES- Senator Joe Mcdonald, of
Indiana, In a strong appeal, urges that
from what he knows OF Weston the convic-
tion was q mistake. Eek Governor Stone, Of
Iowa, writes a strong plea for pardon. An.
other document is signed by Senators Logan
and Cullom and all the Illinois congres smen.
Congressman Bsyne, Negley, Ermentrout and
Sanders Of this state all ask for executive
clemency. Reasons why Weston shout be
psrioned ere submitted by the mayor and
councilman ~ Ebfcarn tho uAyas ~ oil fhn
courts IN Cbicsgo and Cook counties,
Postmaster Judd, the Board of Trade
and numerous college professors and
other citizens. One Of the arguments
advanced and which 1t is believed will have
much weight is that the defendant anc those
indicted with him were prohibited from testi
fyiug In their own behal, under the then ex-
listing laws, which have since been supple
mented by legislation permitting people
charged with any crime to testify IN the case.
1t is urged that II Weston's evidence had been
admissible, tie verdict would have been In
favor of ecquittal.
