COLE AND jim YOUNGER
MAY NOW Be PARDONED.
BOARD OF MANAGERS OF STILL
WATER PRISON UNANIMOUS
LY RECOMMEND
THAT THEY BE SET FREE.
WHICH THEY WE'RE SEN
TENCED FOR LIFE.

ST. PUAL, Mimi, May AT reg
ular meeting of the board OF managers
OF the State prison to-day at Stillwat-
er, unanimous action was taken in fav-
or of parolling Cole and James Young
er, now serving life sentences.
Before the parole can be effective all
three members of the State prison
board must approve it, and the action
will be submitted to that body as soon
as possible. This is in accordance with
the new law which allows the parole of
life prisoners after about twenty-four
years Imprisonment, being thirty-fve
years, less time gained by good behav-
ior
Paroles usually are granted by the
prison managers alone but in the case
of life prisoners unanimous approval
of the board of pardons is also neces-
sary, and such paroled life prisoners
cannot leave the State.
The pardon board does not meet reg
ule4Iy uAll Juiy, pul q opCSiol nOOeiAS
may be called if the members of the
board consider one necessary.
Cole, James and Bob" Younger have
been in Saltwater since 1876 for the
Mortified (Minn.) bank robbery and
the murder committed during the raid,
in which they participated with the
James gang. The James brothers,
Jesse and Frank, escaped to Missouri.
Two members of the gang were killed
and Bob Younger died in prison. Ow-
ing to the peculiar circumstances sur
rounding the capture of the Young
ers efforts have been unceasing to OBJ
tain their pardon. They might have
escaped at the time, but remaining be-
hind to care for one of the gang who
was mortally wounded, and whom, it
is said, the others favored killing.
For six years attempts have been
made during every session of the Leg
islature to secure the enactment Of
law permitting the parole of life pris-
oners. This winter a bill to that effect
passed both houses and went to the
governor. Before it was signed it was
recalled, reconsidered and killed. The
next day it was reconsidered, passed
and became a law.
The Youngers were sons of Col. Hen
ry w. Younger, a wealthy southerner,
who moved to Missouri in 1880. After
the guerrilla warfare incident to the
civil war, they joined the James gang
and evaded all efforts at capture until
their sensational midnight raid on
Mortified.

EASTMAN ON THE STAND
IN DEFENSE OF HIS LIFE.
DENIES THAT HE EVER CONTEM-
PLATED INJURING ANY HU-
MAN BEING.
DESCRIBED THE SHOOTING
LEADING UP TO THE
TRAGEDY.

est in the Eastman murder trial was
enhanced to-day by the fact that Mrs.
Eastman, wife of the defendant, was on
the stand most of the forenoon She
was yisibly affected by the minute ex-
animation as to the incidents immedi-
ately preceding the tragedy and regard
ing certain Statements made by prev
ious witnesses. At times she wept.
Mrs. Eastman said she did not re-
member any such incident as that re-
lated by Mrs. Grogan, ST., who testified
that Eastman had said Grogans days
were numbered. .,,.lness never said
that Eastman had been drinking nor
nau she ever heard Mrs. Grogan, Jr.,
say he had been drinking.
Mrs. Eastman also testified that in
June the lock on the tomb containing
Grogans body had been tempered with,
but no one had asked permission to
open the tomb.
Attorney General Knowlton declined
to cross-examine Mrs. Eastman.
The defendant, Charles Eastman, then
took the stand to testify in his own be-
half. Eastman confined his testimony
to answering the questions of his at
torney. He said that his relation with
Grogan always were pleasant and that
from the fall of 1899 they were on terms
of greatest friendship.
He denied that any quarrel took place
in November, 1899, that any jealousy ex-
listed because Grogan had undertaken
the business left by their father-in-law,
or that he ever had said in the presence
OF Grogan's mother that Grogan's DAYS
were short.
Witness related the incidents of tar
get practice on the morning of July 4,
of dining and going to the swimming
races in company with Grogan.
Eastman said he found the races slow
and started back home with his wife.
He denied that he urged Grogan to re-
turn with him, but said Grogan over
took him on the way home. Eastman
could not tell whether it was Grogan
or himself who suggested a resump-
ton of target shooting. In the main
Eastman's story of the shooting of
Grogan was as it has been repeated by
witnesses during this trial who heard
Eastman's statement Immediately aft
er the event HE said that his recol-
lection of what happened after he and
Grogan clinched was very indistinct
There was" he said, "a struggle for
the possession of the gun. There was
confusion, EXPLANATIONS, noise and
cries and the next i remember was the
deep drawing of breath, when he Gro
gam burst out with something like
Dam it, l am shot Finally l get
possession of the revolver after a long
struggle and Grogan was brought to
his knees. | don't know exactly what
happened after that, because of the
Ail6Hl all iollo4 anu VI Iue dSoAILeu
cries. l cried out to him to let go,
while on his part he said in the most
agoniZed tones, oh, oh, OH | next
remember that We were running and
that we came together again for anoth-
er struggle. Some weapon, I don't
know what, lay on the ground and l
tried to kick it out of the way"
Eastman testified that he had never
entertained feeling of malice or jeal-
ousy toward Grogan, and never had
any thought of injuring him or any hui
man being.
