Gov. Toole sent four applications for
terday. He granted executive clemency in
each case. subject to the approval of the
board. The term for which Carl Ieichert,
of Helena, was sentenced will expire on
March %. before the board can act upon
the governors pardon. The application
was made in his case so as TO restore him to
the rights Of citizenship. The petition bore
the names of u number Of residents of Hell
ena. Teiohert was tried last summer for
shooting and wounding Miss Grady. an
elderly woman who owned the house on the
west side of town whore Teichert lived with
his wife and young daughter. Teichert's
case is familiar to the people Of Helena.
He was running the Atlas saloon on jack
sen street at the time he got into trouble.
The affair grew out of some difficulty be-
tween Mrs. Teichert and Miss Grady.
A strong petition comes from Custer
county in behalf of a young cowboy named
Curley RAINY, who is at Deer Lodge under
q five years's sentence for rape committed
at Miles City. The girl was Elvira Estes,
who was at the time of the crime under tif-
teen. It appeared from her testimony
when Rany was tried that she had been a
public prostitute for two years prior to the
rape and had been living in houses Of illfame.
The facts and circumstances are almost
identical with the case of Joh M. Waugh,
who was pardoned some time ago. Waugh
was also convicted at Miles City for rape
upon the same girl. Rany and Waugh were
made the instruments Of justice to secure
tho oopuicfior nf Tho ~;rlso voNtbo, yn@ r,oe
responsible for the girls bad career. RAW
was tried at the February term last at Miles
City. The petition states that he has no
relatives in the state and not many friends
capable Of helping him.
w. H. Allen was tried at Deer Lodge Lass
October and sent to the penitentiarY for
one year, being convicted of bi2amy. In
while Ami Allen, alias Annie Harding,
had marital claims upon him. It appears
from the petition in his case that Sarah st.
Clair is in q wholly destitute condition and
is about to become a mother. Annie Allen
died ON time after the trial. Allen now
Wants to get out and do the right thing BY
Sarah st. Clair. He says he can earn $75
per month ii restored to liberty, and will
take care of the woman whom he married
last June.
One year in the 'pen'' for cutting a peace
maker in the shoulder with a pocket knife
is what John F. Trout got. At Fridley,
Park county, he got into a quarrel with a
man and was using natures weapons until
a bystander named Nelson attempted to
separate the combatants. Trout pulled out
a pen-knife and slashed Nelson in the
shoulder. He was convicted at the June,
1880, term Of Park county on a charge of
assault with a deadly weapon. The wound
was a trivial one and no serious results
followed. The people who petition for his
pardon say they believe that Trout has
been sufficiently punished and they do not
believe that he intended to commit any
crime.
An application comes from Fergus county
to restore James Kincaid to citizenship.
He vas discharged from the penitentiary on
Jan, Is, 1892.
