MANY WHO ASK PARDONS
SIXTY APPLICATIONS FOR EXECU-
TIVE CLEMENCY ARE MADE
TO THE BOARD
NINE ARE LIFE PRISONERS
With One Exception All of Them
Are Paying the Penalty
for the Crime of
Murder.

When the state board of pardons meets
next Monday it will have for its con-
sideration sixty odd applications for ex-
ecutive clemency, including nine life
prisoners and one who Is sentenced to
hang for murder In the first degree The
latter is the application of Albert Dunai,
OF Jackson county, who was sentenced
last November. His application has been
before the board for several months.
Gov. Lind has delayed fixing date for
his execution pending action by the
board. Dunai killed fellow countryman,
but 1t is claimed that the shooting was
accidental, and that his trial was hardly
a fair one, owing to the prejudice in the
community. He can neither read or
write and cannot speak English.
With one exception all the life prison
ers are paying a murder penalty, the ex-
ception being Ole Severson, of Winona
county, who was sentenced two years ago
for incest Many old names appear on
the list and quite a number of new ap-
plieations will come before the board for
the first time A dozen or more cases
were continued from the last meeting and
will doubtless be disposed of Monday
The calender is one of the heaviest since
the board was organized, and it will very
likely require two days to dispose Of all
the cases. Following is the list:
