PARDON TWO ONLY
EXECUTIVE CLEMENoY FOR A
COUPLE OF PRISONERS IF GEN.
DOUGLAS AGREES
WASN'T PRESENT AT BOARD

John Long, a Life Convict Sent Up
for Murder, Draws Prize
Friends OF Charles Zschau Decide
to Withdraw His Application,
Feeling That the Time Is Not
Ripe for Action.
In only two cases did the state board
of pardons extend executive clemency to
any OF the long list of petitioners, who
were represented before the board at
lts meeting yesterday. Attorney General
douglas was unable to be present, as he
Is engaged prosecuting the Boxeu muir
der case at Buffalo, Mimi, and the action
taken by the board yesterday is con-
ditional upon his approval
Chief Justice Start again laid down
the law in minor cases where the board
there is but little merit. I'VE have con-
stdered a dozen Of these petty cases
today" said Judge Start. land scarcely
one Of them is rightfully subject to the
consideration of this board"
There were no sensational features
about yesterdays meeting, and many of
the cases were taken under advisement.
Those cases that appear to, be worthy
of the boards attention were passed over
until the attendance of the attorney gen
eral can be secured.
The application of Charles Zschau, the
former receiving teller of the National
German-American bank was withdrawn
by friends, as 1t was thought that the
time is not ripe for the case being
brought to the attention of the pardon
ing board.
James Long, an Indian, sentenced from
Traverse county for life Imprisonment for
murder. was granted full pardon. The
circumstances surrounding the crime
We're somewhat eXtenuating and the
board gave the petition favorable con-
sideration owing to the fact that the
prisoner has consumption and at best
can live but very short time. It was
thought by the board to be none other
than deed of mercy to allow Long to
return to his home to die
Roswell d. Rice of Brown county, was
the other prisoner favored by the board
yesterday. Rice was sentenced to state
prison for five years and four months
for grand larceny. His application bore
the Endorsement of the prosecuting at
torney and the board reduced his sen.
tence to three years.
The board will announce it's disposition
OF the cases taken under advisement
within a few days.
