MURDERERs ARE AMONG THEM,

Aside from the case Of Joe White,
the ST. Paul boy who was sent to the
state prison from Minneapolis for
murder, the case of most local interest
to come up before the state board of
pardons at it's meeting tomorrow is
that of Patrick Regain, who murdered
his wife here in 1891. The application
for pardon is accompanied by numer-
ously signed petition, as we'll as state
ment from Thomas D. O'Brien, then
prosecuting attorney, to the effect that
it was on his recommendation, per-
haps, that Regain had been given
life, instead of the death sentence, for
while he was convicted of murder IN
the first degree, there were clrcum-
stances which had led even his prose-
cutor to recommend mercy to the
court.
Another application of more than or
binary interest is that which seeks to
free Frederick Morrin Douglass, the
young bartender who participated IN
the bold robbery of the State bank in
Minneapolis in 1889, but who with his
companions, was caught before having
time to enjoy his gains. The fact that
Douglass was in before and was lett
in after the release of a man who robbed
the depositors of the bank Of a great
deal more than Douglass got, but who
CHANGED to be an officer of the bank,
might be cited in behalf of Douglass
plea. but it is not. He bases his re-
quest on his previous good record, and
the fact that two orphan sisters-hls
parents having died since his lncar-
ceration-are dependent on him. They
live in Winnipeg. Douglass exemplary
conduct in prison won him a parole,
and this compels him to remain in the
state. He is now working in st. Paul,
but he wants to go to Winnipeg, where
he can be with his sisters.
