MUST SERVE
THEIR TINE
President Refused to Pardon
Ingham and hewitt
ATTORNEY. .CEGERAL'S REASON
/ PRESIDENTS Legal Adviser Tells Why
) Executive CIemencY Should Not
n be Granted

Washington. June 29.-The applica.
tions for pardon of ex-Distrlct Attor
ney Ellery p. Ingham and ex-Assist'
ant District Attorney Harvey X. New.
Sitt, who were convicted and sentenced
10 two and half years imprisonment
n r. their connection with the famous
Je kobs counterfeiting case several
years ago, have been denied by the
president Neither the trial Judge noI
the district attorney recommended ex.
ecutiye clemency The district attor.
ney, however. made a report Of the
facts in the case. Owing to the fact
that these cases excited a deal Of pub
lie interest the president requested
the attorney genral to go over the
papers and send them to him. This
was done, and after the cabinet meet.
ing yesterday the attorney general an
nounced that the president had refused
TO extend executive clemency. Ing
ham and hewitt have served two years
of their sentences.
In his report to the president Attor
ney General Knox says:
{ 1T will be observed that, aside from
Nhe qualified reassertion OF their plea
of not guilty, the petitioners set up
but one reason for pardon, l. e.. their
edisbarment from the practice Of law,
r., Nich they claim is a greater punish
Went than their imprisonment, a pun
ishment not provided by the act OF
congress, which the trial judge could
not have considered when he imposed
the sentence
Certainly it is true that the acts Of
congress do not provide for the disbar-
ment of an attorney who commits a
crime; no more do they provide that
a minister of the gospel shall be strip
ped of his cloth, or that a great moral
or social leader under like circum-
stances shall be dethroned and cast
out in disgrace. Congress has no
function in such matters. Society has
it's own way of protecting itself. its
own system of rewards and punish
ments.
"The petitioners disbarment, there
fore, was no part of their sentence. It
was the commendable act of the Penn
sylyania courts to purge its bar of
those who had brought discredit and
shame upon it. Your pardon could not
restore them TO practice. This is a
matter solely for the courts which re-
jected them.
"These petitioners were lawyers.
They well knew the high ideals of their
profession AID that no self respecting
court in a law respecting community
would tolerate upon its roll and there
by hold out to the world as worthy of
confidence men who with deliberate
design abandoned the high traditions
Of their profession and entered into
a criminal conspiracy to corrupt the
currency of their country and seduce
officers OF the government into be
trayal of their trust.
"In my Judgment there is no reason
why the petition should be granted
and / therefore recommend that it be
denied"
