VIOLATED HIS PAROLE
Prisoner Thomas Failed to Keep

With Governor.
May Be Made to Serve Out His
Sentence in the Peni.
Tertiary.
Changed His Place Of Residence
Without Consent Of the
Executive.

Dies Moines, July 2.-E o. Patterson
of the office of governor was at the
state house having returned from a long
trip to Idaho and Oregon to arrest a
Fort Madison prisoner who violated the
terms of his parole. The offender was
Thomas Jones, who was sent up from
Lucas county in August, 1898, for rob-
berry. He was given four years but was
terms of parole by moving from his
agreed plac. of residence. ii appears he
did this gnorantly inasmuch as he con-
tinued to report to the governor, and
thru his own report Ii was learned that
he had left the state and gone to Nam
pa, Idaho. Later he went to Portland.
1t was determined to make an example
of Jones and Mr.. Patterson was sent az
ter him. The latter Went 10 Nampa but
fnting Jones had gone on 20 Pc .rland
he followed and arrested MIN last Mon
day on a steamer on the Willamette
river on which he was working He
made no resistance, and consented to re-
turn without a reauisition. h said
he dit not know he was vioiating the
terms of his parole. He was tanen TO
Fort Madison to serve out the remain
der of his sentence.
The case of Jones is but one of several
in which the parole system has given
trouble recently.
striking case developed several
weeks ago in the instance of paroled
prisoner who violated the terms of his
parole ny going to Minnesota. He rented
a. farm there and settled down in earn
est to support his wife and numerous
babies. / ardon Clerk Richards wanted
to make an example of him and sent a
deputy after him. When the deputy ar
rived on the scene he found the man
hard al work tying to make a living.
He felt ii unjust 10 take him back 10
prison, nor did he do SO. The deputy,
however wired the governor first, and
the latter advised him to let the man
stay if he would promise TO return next
December This Arrangement was made.
| It was not satisfactory To Mr.. Richards,
who, as in the case of Jones, wanted the
prisoner made an example Of. Tha dep
uty,s course, however, was sanctioned
as the humane one by the executive
council when the members of that body

would be most oppressive, and / am
compelled to suspend the enforcement
of the judgment, which is a proceeding
of doubtful validity.
s Parties should not be arrested and
parties should not be held to answer
to the grand jury excepting in those
cases where the officers believe impris-
,onment should follow, and do not see
any sense in arresting 80 many parties
and holding them to answer to the
grand jury. In nine cases out Of ten
the accused would not leave, nor could
he be induced to leave the district, be-
fore an Indictment is returned. In all
such cases why not give the names of
the witnesses to the United States at
Etorney and let him present the case to
the grand jury If he believes the party
should be prosecuted? BY 80 doing much
of this gossip and scandal would cease.
Nearly all cases must go to the grand
jury in any event before there can be a
prosecution in the court

viction is obtained, the officer bringing
