The Council of State as re-
organized for two years met for
the first time yesterday to con-
slider recommendations of clemen
CIV to prisoners and of restoration

@. Bolte was reelected as secre-
tary.
President Dole read the report
of the Court of Inquiry convened
on the petition of John Good,
former Captain in the National
Guard, to hear alleged newly dis
covered evidence in his case. He
was dishonorably discharged a
year or two ago upon the findings
of court martial for completely
in an attempt to discredit Col.
Mclean by dishonest representa-
tons regarding the loss Of sight
from one of the garrison field
pieces. The Court of Inquiry
had found nothing to prove that
the judgment was not right, but
recommended a pardon to Good
for previous services.
This was on motion granted.
Chas. August Herring, who
killed d. l.. Huntsman the lawyer
in 1893, when the victim had
been disturbing his domestic
peace, was recommended to have
his term shortened to end Janu-
ary l, 1900, instead of June 20,
1901. Prison inspectors Lowrey
and Iaukea endorsed, and Magoon
opposed the petition of the
prisoner for pardon. President
Dole stated what the Cabinet
recommended, saying that Judge
Cooper, who tried the case, now
believed that the condemnation
was too severe. The recommen-
dation was granted.

Kalaupapa since Sept. %, 1894,
under sentence of six years and
three months for housebreaking,
was pardoned.

doned on account of illness.
