Executive clcmencv.

A pardon by the governor has been made
out for Dietch, in the penitentiarv at Ana
mosa. under life sentence for murder. The
case is on of uncommon interest from the
fact that the possibility is that Deitch is
an innocent man, md has been suffering
for another man. crime. A man named
Joseph Thum was murdered Mt Cedar
Rapids about four years ago. Gov. Sher-
man offered n reward of $500 for the ar
rest of the murderer, and Dietch and a
man named Thum were arrested and con
victed of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to the penitentiary for life.
Dietch stoutly affirmed his innocence and
the governor was led to believe that the
man who gave evidence ngainst him did so
to get the reward, and he refused to pay it.
Nevertheless, Dietch was convicted, and
has been in prison nearly four years.
Some of his old army friends nave fol-
lowed up the case. and believing that he
was innocent, have collected ali the evil
dence they had to prove that fact. After
careful investigation, Gov. i4.rrabee con-
cluded to give the man a pardon, and on
May LIST he was set free, after nearly four
years of what. in all probability, has been
IN illegal imprisonment.
