Crowley Denied Pardon

Yesterday the Board OF Pardons
continued the application OF Patrick
Crowley for pardon Alter the evil
dence had all been submitted and the
attorneys had stated the case the
Board held a brief consultation and
the pardon was denied. Attorneys
Peter Breen and E. T Dupuis repre-
scented Crowley.
The case OF Crowley has been given
hearings before the Board many times
and in each instance a fight for his
freedom has taken place. The friends
OF Crowley have been most devoted
and it is not through any effort on
their part that he has not been free
man. On the other side the friends o
Nicols the man that Crowley killed
have put up as vigorous defense anC
through their efforts and determined
work the man has remained behin(
prison bars. It is not likely that thi>
is the final effort to free Crowley a.
steps will be taken to bring his cast
up again at the next meeting OF tn
Board
