day pardoned Camille Peres who was sent
to the state penitentiary two years ago

saultng Adrcnne Bacques, I4-year-old
girl, his niece.
Peres lived on ranch near Sand Coulee
and the girl claimed he had wronged her
During the prosecution of her charge, she
enlisted the sympathy OF Postmaster Smith
who gave her temporary home with his
family. The postmaster and others took
an active interest I'M the case and laborcd
conscientiously to bring about a conviction,
believing the girl told the truth.
She was sent back to her home in Paris,
France, after Percs' conviction. Not long
ago she startled the Cascade county au-
thorities by writing letters to the effect
that she had sworn falsely against Peres
and that he had been convicted Oh per-
jured testimony.
T. L. Brady, who had been Percs attor-
ney at his trial, started in investigation
that ended with today's action by the gov
ernor. Mr. Brady learned that the Smith
family had reason to change their opinion
of the girls truthfulness. Mr.. Smith said
that during her brief residence at his home
he had learned enough to convince him
she could not be believed
Mr.. Brady laid the matter before the
governor with the result that today the
executive granted Pcres an unconditional
pardon, thus setting aside a terrible mis-
take of justice which had brought about
the conviction of an innocent man.
