AdeIbert Lawton has kept his word and
sent communication to the board of
pardons asking release from the Still
water prison to enable him to find the
Cudahy kidnapers. He says he knows
who they are and where they are. and
thinks other people should know. The
story is a peculiar one 1t is not bad.
Adelbert Layton was convicted of man
slaughter in Winona in 1897 and sen
fenced to Imprisonment for fifteen years
and four months The killing happened
while he and three companions were at
tempting to hold up a farmer. Some one
shot a revolver, and one of his compan
ions was accidentally killed LaWton's
two remaining companions received three
year sentences.
Before his conviction, Lawton had
worked in Witoka and Winona as dray-
man. coal man and yardman. Following
is his communication to the board of
pardons, with the illiterate phrasing cor
rected:
ITO the Honorable Board of Pardons-
Gentlemen: Seeing that L am acquainted
with two of you gentlemen, Gov. Van

found a house we all agreed would do
for the purpose. Then we went and
looked up place for Cudahy to bring
the money. We agreed that it should be
