don. hut Gibson May Get One.

The board Of pardons on Tuesday recom-
mended q pardon for Millard +. iiiide-
brand. of Strasburg, convicted of man
slsuahter. Hildebrand was sentenced on
February IL, 1854, to nine years and nine
months for the killing of Henry Eshleman
in a quarrel nj Strasburg. Hildebrand's
record in the Eastern penitentiary was
good and with the commutation on ne
would not have long to serve. Inc petiuon
Tor the pardon was signed by several of the
Jurors who convicted him, the widow OF
the man killed, and by nearly every resi-
dent III StrasbuTg. =. d. Baker was his
counsel. :,
A. B. Hassler appeared before the board
on behalf of Abe Buzzard, who asked for
partion. He liz now serving term for the
robbery of Geo. w. Steinmetz's store and
Isaac Becker's blacksmith shop. The
ground alleged was that he was uniusily
convicted, not having been party
to those offenses. Counsel used in
his argument the dying declara-
etion Of Mary Goodendorf made to Jacob
II. Amwake, her lawyer, that she had
sworn falsely in that case because she was
angry at Abe Buzzard, and that she desired
TO right that wrong II WIS also shown 10y
Mr.. Hassler that Buzzard voluntarily sur
rendered himself TO the authorities.
His petition for pardon was signed by
III of the IL jurors who convicted him
Wm. II. Pfahler, now Of Philadelphia, de-
clined 10 sign, because he was opposed to
anyone being pardoned. Letters were also
read from the state board of charities, and
from many prominent citizens OF New
Holland and vicinity asking the board to
pardon. .Buzzard, as they believed he was
reformed, and has served the sentences
imposed for all the oiienses, except the
ones of which Mary GoodendurTs dying
declaration says he was innocent
The board refused 10 grant the pardon.
Another effort will be made In November
ty which time 1t will probably be shown
who the parties were who committed the
Steinmetz and Becker robberies.
The board held under advlsement the
application of Charles Gibson for n pardon.
Il will probably be granted at the next
eession.
The application of Jacob NJ. Rutt, Of this
county, who is in Jail for forgery, was con-
tinued to next meeting.
