 Twenty-two prisoners at the Con- necticut state prison have filed peti- | HonS. for pardon from prison and the | petitions will be considered in the next session of the board of pardons, | which will be held in the supreme court room in the capitol on the first l Monday of. December Under the rule of the board a prisoner applying for pardon can appear before the board but once in person to be heard on his petition. Nine Of the prisoners who have filed petitions have been before the board at previous sessions and will not appear in December. Twelve pris opsrs will be brought Np from the prison and John Lester of New Lon don county, Whe WAS parolsd at the June session, will appear and ask for pardon. so that his citizenship may l be restored. The only Hartford coun- | ty prisoner who will appear before the board is Rsinhold Schell of New Brit ain. He is tine man who placed an in | fernal machine on the doorstep of John H. Rich in New Britain, and who wrote several letters to Rlch | threatening to take his life. New 1 Britain people were much aroused over | the matter and excitement was at fever heat for several weeks. until I cuted in the superior court on the charge of an attempt at murderous assault, and on September 12 of last year he pleaded guilty and w2s sen 1 tenced to state prison for i've years. Schell says that on account of the way he had the revolver in the cigar box which he placed on Rfch's doorstep it could have done Rich no harm had | it been discharged. He had no desire to kill Rich, but says he only wanted to scare him so that he would leave New Britain. He desired to get Rich out of New Britain, he says, because Rich spoke disrespectfully of the young woman with whom he kept company, and that every time Rich saw her on the street he made re- l marks about her.
