HAS NO PARDON YET.

Convict Kelly Will Have to Wait u While
Longer Mt Least.
The state board Of pardons did not
act yesterday upon the pardon of Ed
ward Kelly, to whom Governor Smith
recently extended executive clemency
upon the representations made that he
was serving a sentence for a crime that
another man, by the name Of Tracy.
claimed to have committed. The pro.
tests Of County Attorney Johnston and
ex.Sheriff Berky of Yellowstone coun.
ty, were gone over by the board. The
board doomed that it would be unwise
to take definite action in the matter un.
til more details respecting the evidence
adduced at Kelly's trial and the man.
ner in which Tracy made his sensation.
al confession were known. The board
does not take very kindly to the stories
of Kelly and Tracy. They are Of the
opinion that there is a colored individ.
ual concealed in the woodpile, and un.
til the case is more clearly understood
they will not act. The tale that was
represented to the governor is claimed
III Ao ~ VI Ui0 1u4lOub HOuk III
Frank Daniels, and it looks as though
the board was indisposed to interfere
with the courts of Yellowstone county.
A portion Of the afidavits that i'm
pressed the board against Kelly was
what the ex.city marshal of Miles City
swore to about Kelly having been in
Jail there and having upon two occa.
sions been ruiz out of communities for
cutting people. These circumstances
are very prcjudicial to his case and lead
to the impression that he is a bad man
and better stay where he is.
The further consideration Of his case
has gone over until July 20. Mean.
while al effort will be made to secure Il
transcript Of the evidence introduced at
Kelly's trial, especially his own evil
dence. Although County Attorney
Johnston says that the s%tenographer
cannot find the notes of the trial, he
will be asked to look further or to
send some reliable person to Helena to
throw more light upon the subject.
Evidence is also desired as to the man
her Of Tracy making his sensational
confession.
The board approved the diminution
of sentence granted by the governor to
VIM. Mount. He was convicted III
Yellowstone county October 7, 1896. OF
manslaughter and sentenced to three
and one.half years. Mount will b. re-
leased today.
County Attorney Johnston received
word today from the state board of
pardons asking that the transcript in
the case be forwarded to the board.
This he will probably be unable to
do. The court stenographer has mis-
placed his notes in the case and has
been written to for a transcript. If
he is unable to furnish this, Mr.. John.
ston will make a statement to the
board regarding the case.

Is claimed by friends of the Sheridan
