BEFORE THE STATE BOARD OF PARDoNs.
HARTFORD, Dec. Six applicants for
pardon from state prison gave their rea-
sons for their petitions to the state board
of pardons to-day. Among the number
was Charles E. Waterbury, sentenced last
March to four years in stateprison for kid
mapping his nephew. His petition for q
pardon was rejected. The petition was
put on the ground that his act was the re-
suit of weak mind, produced by sickness
and the medicine he had taken, and that
he was thus induced to join the conspiracy.
The petitions of all the convicts were re-
iected except that of Patrick Enright, SEN
fenced to ten years for rape in October,
1889, and Horace g. Packanelt, sentenced
for the same offence for twenty years in
September. 1887. Decision in these cases
was reserved.
