PRESIDENT ASKED TO COMMUTE
SENTENCE OF JAMES HANSEN.
Alaskan Indian who Murdered Burt
and Florence Horton, = Young
Married Couple, who Were On n
Vacation Trip. Conf~ssed Crime.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intellgencer.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. Nov. H.-The
attorney general recommended to the
president today that the sentence of
death passed upon James Hansen. be
commuted to Imprisonment for life.
The case Of Hansen Is well known on
the Pacific coast as that OF the Alaskan
Indian who. year ago last month. with
ten native companions. murdered Burt
Horton and Florence Horton. young
married couple who were on a vacation
trip near Skagway.
President Mckinley will. without doubt
commute the sentence of the prisoner. In
the beginning OF his plea for a commu-
tation of sentence Attorney General
Griggs says:
The circumstances of this case are
most extraordinary and deserve a special
chapter in the annals of remarkable
crimes. Ii Is case where the prisoner
having conceived and executed brutal
and savage murder on peacesble and in
offensive people, without detection or
probability of detection or accusation
months after the offense. voluntarily. by
his own confession and admission of the
facts. submitted himself 10 the judge OF
the court and TO sentence OF DEATH
History of the Crime.
Mr.. Griggs then recites the history OF
the crime. recounting how Burt and Flor
ence Horton started on their hunting and
prospecting trip In October, 1889 and were
never again seen alive: how Hansen, in
March last was converted at a Salvation
army meeting at Skagway and volun-
tariiy confessed his crime. first to the
Saivationist captain and then to the
United States deputy marshal How he
led the marshafs posse over snow ten
feet deep to the spot where the bodies
were lying, and how he professed eager
ness TO suffer death for conscience sake
In expiation OF his crime.
Mr.. Griggs recalled the fact that while
Hansen's companions resorted to every
subterfuge to escape conviction and col
lected from Indians all over Alaska to
pay counsel fees. Hansen sought earnestly
TO secure his own condemnation. The trial
judge In his recent letter to the attorney
general says:
HOnesty of Confession.
His entire conduct during the trial OF
the other individuals convinced me OF the
honesty of his conversion and the purity
of the motives that induced H. That he
was moved by high religious fervor
there can be no doubt. As the last act OF
the drama when reluctantly passed SEN
tence OF death upon him. in answer to
the usual question why sentence should
not be pronounced he answered with un-
dainted heroism. benignant smile on
his face. My brother. 1 have done my
duty: now you do yours Such rare for
titude I have never before Witnessed"
The attorney general quotes this letter
and closes his communication to the presi-
dent with an eloquent plea for clemency
in this most extraordinary case.
