GRANTED A FULL PARDON.
" "DiamoBdfieid jack Davis Released
Prom Prtson-Idaho's Attorney.
General Indignant at Action Of
other Members of PardonfDg
Board.

| Special Dispatch to Salt Lake Tribune Of Dec. Il
The State Board OF Pardons to-day, b,
vote Of two to one, granted full and free
pardon to "Diamondfeld Jack" Davis
who had three times before escaped the
hangman after conviction for the bruta
murder in Cassia county, Idaho, on Feb
ruary A, 1896, of John G. Wilson ant
Daniel G. Cummings, two sheepherders
The vote was as follows: For pardon
Frank w. Hunt and Secretary of State
G. ]. Bsssett. Against pardon, Attorney
General Frank Martin.
This action rings down the curtain on
the most sensational case in the criminal
annals OF the West. The verdict ol
guilty was affirmed by the State Supreme
Court and the Supreme Court of the
United States declined to interfere.
Under the administration of Governor
Steunenberg Davis application for par
don was denied. but the present State
Board commuted the sentence of death
to life imprisonment, that action having
been taken on July 10, 1901. The COM
mutation was granted on the confession
of J. Z. Bowers that JEFF Gray killed
Cummings and Wilson during visit of
Bowers and Gray to their camp. Bowers
stated that the men attacked him, and
Gray shot to save his life.
Practically no new evidence has been
presented, and Governor Hunt and Sec
retary Of State Bassett voted for pardon
for the same reason, as assigned, that
they voted for Communication.
Governor Hunt, when asked for an ex-
preston by reporter, said he had moth
ing to say, excepting that he Thought
Davis was in the wrong place" He did
not explain what he meant by that.
Secretary Bassett said be was satisfied
from Bowers confession that Davis did
not commit the crime.
Attorney General Martin said: ''The
Board Of Pardons year ago gave Davis a
full, fair and complete hearing and re-
fused a pardon, it being the opinion then
that all the new evidence that was pre-
sented then or since failed to show that
the man was not guilty. However, an
element of doubt having arisen by rea-
son Of the confession of Bowers, the death
sentence was commuted to life imprison-
ment.
"a careful examination of the records
and all affidavts filed show that nothing
has been brought out since the last hear
ing of the 'Diamondfeld jack case.
"The record shows, in my opinion,
that he is the man who committed the
brutal murder. l consider, after a care
ful examination OF the whole affair, that
the result in this case is the most out
rageous instance of the triumph OF
money over decency, law and justice
that have ever known"
The man who saved the neck of "Dia-
mondteld Jack" Davis from the hang
man is John Sparks, Governor-elect OF
Nevada. Davis was in the employ of the
Sparks-Herreld Company at the time the
crime was committed. The operation
has cost Mr.. Sparks a large sum, some
placing it at over 81 900, 900.

The cool impudence of Chinese thieves
is proverbial A writer gives a case In
point. The courthouse at Singapore
boosted very valuable clock suspend
ed from the wall directly opposite the
bench. One day during the session OF
the supreme court a particularly meek
looking Chinaman entered, carrying a
ladder. Removing his hat and bowling
to the bench with utmost gravity, he
proceeded to remove the clock with
businesslike expedition. Tucking the
clock under one arm and the ladder
under the other, he passed out unchal-
lenged, every one present regarding
him as coolie sent to remove the
clock for the purpose of cleaning It
Several days passed, and, the clock not
being returned, the magistrate report
ed the delay to the public works de-
partment. The P. W. d. knew nothing
whatever about 1t, and neither clock
nor coolie was ever heard of again.

accurate method of measuring time,
for the exit of the sand is always reg

full the water runs out faster than
when 1t Is nearly empty. Candle clocks

their invention is attributed to Alfred

more susceptible to error than the pre-
