TIE PARDON board
Resumed Its Session at M~oundsville,
Yesterday.
CONGRESSMAN ncyENER AND S.
o. BOYCE PRESENT IN BEHALF
WILLIAM EATON-NO ACTION
IN HIS Casa FULL LIST OF
THOSE MAKING APPLICATION
TO THE BOARD.

The Pardon Board held another ses>
sion yesterday at the Moundsville PEN
itentiary. A large list of applications
for pardons and remissions OF fines,
which had beer filed with the Cover
nor, was received but none were con-
sidered favorably. John Vance, OF
Logan county, who is serving a ten
years sentence for murder, had his case
reviewed. A party from his home
made a splendid speech in his behalf,
but as the ten days notice required by
law to give to the prosecuting attorney
of his sounty had not been given. his
case goes over until the next meeting
of the board.
In the VIM. Eaton matter Congress
man Dovener and Attorney S. O. Boyce,
of Wheeling, were both present in the
prisoners behalf. 1t seems that this
case is a similar one to the above ano
the board could take no action at this
time. There are a great many protests
filed against granting Eaton a pardon
and the action of the Board will be
looked forward to with a great deal or
interest. Walter Tut, a young man OF
Wheeling sentenced to the reform
school, and who is now in the Wheel
ing Jail, had his case presented to the
Board. The paper filed were all care
fully gone over but 40 action was
taken. Attorney Boyce also appeared
in the interest of Frank Reynolds, the
Preston county wife murderer. This
case, like others, was adjourned over
until the next meeting. The Board en-
tered an order for the clerk 10 notify
the applicants that they must notify
the prosecuting attorney OF their oun
ties ten DAYS before tie board meets
again what their objecS is. Very little
business outside of the. above was trans
acted and the board adjourned at SIX
O'Clock D. m.
