The Saint Paul globe., 1899-07-07

teller of the National German-American
bank, who was sentenced to eight years
for grand larceny in the second degree,
applies for a pardon on the grounds that
he has been punished enough, and COM
mitted the deed in a fit of frenzy, with
shame and disgrace staring him in the
face.
One of the saddest cases that has come
to the attention of the board Of pardons
is brought to light in the application Of
Jesse Nevill, of Winona, for commuta-
ton of his life sentence of twenty years.
Nevill was tried and convicted for the
murder Of Nels Paulson, a saloonkeeper
at Winona in 1885. Chief Justice Start,
now member of the board of pardons,
was at the time the trial judge, and SEN
ator Fitzpatrick the prosecuting attorney.
NeYill killed Paulson in a saloon while
under the influence of liquor The story.
as 1t was told in court, is that Nevill en-
tered the saloon with friend and the
bartender made vicious attack on his
companion, striking him over the head
with beer bottle. This NevilI resented,
and the bartender attempted to strike
him with the same bottle, when Nevill
drew his revolver, and shot Paulson The
murderer made no attempt to escape. and
was later tried and convicted being SEN
fenced to life Imprisonment. Sine,
Nevill's imprisonment, which commenced
fifteen years ago, his father and three
sisters have died, after spending their
energies and wealth trying to secure the
release OF the young man. He was but
tWenty-one years old when sentenced.
After NeYill was sent to prison his three
sisters left home in good health. and
tramped the whole county over with a
petition to Gov Hubbard for their
brothers release. Two of the sisters died
a year after of pneumonia. contracted
while on this errand, and the third died
OF consumption developed from a cold
incurred while tramping through the
county. Nevilrs father had a good deal
OF money, and spent it all trying to Sc
cure his sons release. He died some years
ago. and Mrs. Nevill, the only remaining
member of the family, is practically
charge upon the county. The following
Is list of cases which will come IN
