THEIR PARDoNs REFUSED
The President Refuses Executive
CIemency TO Two Counterfeiters

Washington, June s.-The application
for pardon of ex-District Attorney Ell
lery P. Ingham, and ex-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Harvey K. hewitt, who
were convicted and sentenced TO two
and a half years Imprisonment for their
connection with the famous Jacobs
counterfeiting cases in Pennsylvania
several years ago, have been denied by
the president.
These applications were filed with the
attorney general some time ago. but
neither the trial judge nor h district
attorney, whose recommendations usu-
ally accompany petitions for executive
clemency, made recommendations in
this case. The district attorney, howev-
er, made a report OF the facts.
Cases in this condition usually die in
the department Of justice, but owing to
the fact that they excited a great deal
of public interest the president request
ed that the attorney general go over
the papers and send them to him. This
was done several days ago and after
the cabinet meeting today the attorney
general announced that the president
had refused to extend executive clemen-
cy. Ingham n hewitt have served
