1t is understood the list will be taken
up in order, which will place the con-
sideration of the Youngers' late in the
day. The law provides that no pardon
shall be granted except by unanimous
vote of the board, and it is a grave
question whether the three members
will agree to grant the application. If
one of them refuses that ends the
matter for this time.
Among the visitors at the capitol
from other parts of the state, opinion
is about evenly divided as to the ad-
visibility of issuing the pardon. There
is perhaps a small majority in favor
of granting the application, but those
who favor 1t are rather passive, while
the opponents are aggressive in the
extreme. -.-
The interest the people of Missouri
are taking in the matter is shown
by the fact that some of the newspa-
pers from that state have representa-
tlves on hand to attend the meeting
Monday, and to sound the sentiment
OF the state in regard to the matter
A pardon had been asked for H. K
richardson, who was sent up from this
county in 1896, but before the board
met the last time, the board of man
ayers of the state prison paroled him,
thus getting him out Of the way.
In regard to the case of Joe White
it is said that Gov. Clough has ex-
pressed himself as strongly opposed
to the pardon. Whites victim was
neighbor of the present governor, and
he is naturally familiar with the cir
cumstances of the crime. It is said
that Whites health has been breaking
down. The prison authorities would
have been asked to repeat statements
they made as to his splendid physical
condition.
1t is rumored in connection with the
effort to secure a pardon for White
that for the last four years, or ever
since his incarceration, his friends
and old associates have scrimped and
pinched themselves to raise a fund to
make the fight for his release. There
is some authority for the statement
that they did not. even stop at this
point. Before the application for a
pardon it is understood they sent
threatening letters to those who would
naturally oppose a pardon. These have
never been made public nor even ref
erence made to them. but they have
always been held in reserve, and if
used would have been very effective
means of keeping the prisoner just
where he is. They amount almost to
an admission of guilt.
