THREE ARE PARDONED
rlurphy, Swigert and Drifting the
Lucky Ones.
THE PETITION OF CHARLES
DAVENPORT LAID OVER.
Application of James Sadler, Alfred
II. Brown and George W. Wilson
for Clemency Denied-George w.
Wilson's Case.

The board of pardons met in regular
session yesterday and granted three
applications for executive clemency.
Three petitions were denied and one
laid over until the next regular meet
ing Of the board.
The parties pardoned were James
Murphy. Albert Swigert and A. W.
Griffing. Those who were denied
clemency were James Sadler, Alfred
H. Brown and George w. Wilson,
while the petition of Charles Daven-
port was laid over until the next reg
ular meeting.
MURPHY'S CASE
James Murphy was convicted of
burglary at Brigham City on Dec. %,
1896. and sentenced to serve one year
in the penitentiary. Murphy. it will be
remembered, was the man who estab-
lished an alibi, showing by good wit
nesses that he was not near the place
when the burglary was committed on
the night in question
ALBERT SWIGERT.
Albert Swigert is the man who was
sent I'D for two years and a half for
alleged completely in the safe cracking
operation at the Utah Implement COM
was convicted Sept. 5, 1896, and SEN
fenced by Judge Hiles. There was al
ways a doubt as to Swigert's guilt,
and the board gave him the benefit of
the doubt.
A. w. GRIFFING.
A. w. Griffing was sentenced by
Judge Rolapp Feb. 81, 1896, and sent
up for four years for forgery. Crit
G-o or1n on Ia
that he had been sufficiently punished
and because the court which sentenced
him recommended clemency. 1t was
also taken into consideration that the
applicant had previously borne good
character.
THIS ONE FAILED.
James Sadler was convicted before
Judge Wenger last February for tres
pass and destruction of property and
sentenced to Imprisonment for 80 days
and to pay fine of 800. Although
both Judge Wenger and County At
torney Van Colt recommended par
don, the board saw fit to deny it.
Sadler broke up a steam pump and
sold it for old scrap iron.
NO CLEMENCY FOR BROWN.
Alfred H. Brown was convicted of
exactly the same offense as James
Sadler He was sentenced to pay a
fine of 800 and to be imprisoned for
a period of 80 days. Brown petitioned
for pardon on the grounds that he
had been punished enough, but the
board thought differently and in this
case their word is law.
GEORGE WILSON.
Once more the application of George
w Wilson. who is serving a four
years sentence for assault with in
tent to commit rape, was denied. VIII
son was sentenced Nov. 10, 1895, by
Judge King. Since his conviction he
has had petitions and certificates of
good character showered upon the
board, and a tremendous effort has
been put forth in his behalf, but all of
no avail. The application was refused.
CHARLES DAVENPORT.
The application of Charles Daven-
port. alias Clinton c. Clifton, was laid
over for another month. Davenport
was sentenced by Kentucky" Smith
at Provo on March %, 1894, to serve 30
years for murder in the second degree.
