Went Do Governor West.

Then the case came up before Gov
ernor West and he was just about to
pardon Williams" said Miss Hutchings
yesterday. Il heard that he was con-
sidering the case and L went to him.
He argued with me and said he was
convinced that Williams should be re-
leased. He would hardly grant me
time to prepare a protest but he finally
gave me three days and later on two
weeks. I secured 50 many protests
that he refused TO grant the pardon
Every time the case has come before
the board of pardons l have had to
work. Much of the work has been
done over again because | found that a
great many of the papers which l gave
Governor West have been lost. Protests
and remons6rances that l got could
not be found and I had to get the
names again, l have Travelled a great
deal over the state to find people and
only this spring l had to go up north
of Ogden to find one CT the jurors who
convicted Williams. They had his
name on a petition asking for the re-
lease and I found out that he had
never signed it"

Tells Remarkable Story.

The work that she has done in this
case is most remarkable according to
the story she tells. For, she asserts,
she has been offered money, and
Hutching's widow and son have been
offered money to give up the contest
and to sign a petition asking for Will
Jams release. But through poverty
and trial they have he'd on and they
declare that they have suprned all Of
fers. Whethee or not this is the case
two things are evident: Considerable
money has been spent by Williams and
the Hutchings are very poor.
There are no men in the Hutcl1ipgs
family to keep UP the contest against
Williams release. His mother, who
lives with the sister. and the widow,
who has a son yet under age, have
done some of the work. But the burden
Of it has fallen upon the sister Sarier.
The first effort to pardon Williams
was made when Governor Murray was
in office. Miss Hutchfngs began work
and secured many petitions from
miners about Mammoth, Silver City,
and Eureka and from many persons in
Provo. She succeeded in keeping Will
Jams in the penitentiary.

going to be settled forever" She ex-
planned as the tears rolled down her
cheeks, why can't they settle it once
