to Times-Republican.

Special to Tiines-Republfcan.
Onawa. Nov. 25,-Frank p. Watkins
oldest convict in Fort Madison. ts
an applicant for pardon. He was
sent from this county in 1878 for MUIR
der of Melius Boser, boy of 10. Now,
just as Watkins seemed In sight 81
clemency, the story OF previous and
equally heinous murder comes out,
blasting the aged criminals chance for
freedom.
Watkins Is 60 years old. and for
nearly forty years has carried the Sc
cret Of his first murder while playing
the penalty of the second. The case Ia
unique.
In 1877 Watkins came here and,
working for a woman named Bosier In
Lincoln township, induced her son to
go with him to eastern Iowa. They
started together in the fall, and were
not heard of again. Search and In
yestigation developed nothing. The
following spring Watkins was found
working on q farm In Shelby county
and arrested on suspicion. The very
day after he was brought back to On
ava the dead body OF young Bosier was
found in Jordan township. Watkins
was convicted and sent up for life.
With twenty-five years to his credit,
effort for a pardon was started and
good showing made. The case was to
have been laid before the governor and
the legislature this fall.
Judge Addison oliver, having heard
rumors that Watkins had once before
committed a crime, wrote to Jackson
county and learned of the earlier MUIR
der. That crime was unknown to peo-
pie here. George c. Heberling of Sa-
bula wrote Judge oliver about the
crime. He said Watkins In 1867 MUIR
dered Deputy Sheriff Cronk OF jackson
deliberately and premeditated-
ly. Watkins was guarded In the jail
by soldiers to prevent lynching. He
was convicted, but the supreme court
sent the case back. Death of an es-
sential witness made retrial useless
and he was released. He disappeared
and next turned up in Monona county.
where his second murder was just as
as the first, each being
in order to get small
amount OF property. 1t is believed now
that the effort to secure Watkins par
don will be dropped.

WOULD NOT PARDON WATKINS
People Who Knew Most Of III.
Crimes Oppose cIemency.


Onawa, Nov. 25.-Referring to the
application Of Frank P. Watkins, the
Oldest prisoner In point Of confinement
at the Iowa penitentiary, for pardon
at the hands OF the legislature this:
winter, Judge Addison Oliver, who
has taken considerable interest In the
matter on former applications for a
pardon, has just received letter from
George c. Heberling. OF Sabula, jack
son county, Ia, who was foreman of
the jury when Watkins was tried for
the murder Of Deputy Sheriff Cronk
at the town OF Andrew In Jackson
county.
Mr.. Heberling says:
Eyes. was the foreman Of the Jury
that tried this fend here in Jackson
county. We found him guilty Of MUIR
der In the first degree. but the SUI
preme court sent the case back on a
y-misconstruction of the
court. Then a change Of venue was
taken to Clinton county, but before the
case could be reached for trial again
Mrs. Phillips, an indispensable wit
ness for the state, died, and the pros
ecution failed, but there was no pos
sibility of doubt that Watkins muir
dered Deputy Sheriff Cronk in cold
and deliberate, we'll planned manner.
He would have been lynched and hang.
ed after conviction and appeal Of the
Jail had not been well guarded by old
soldiers. 1 fully concur in ybur opinion
that he should not be pardoned, and
think l can assure you that both Sen
ator Lambert and our new representa-
tive, Mr.. McDole. will oppose par
don, or even clemency. Yours very
truly, George c. Heberhng.
With the present feeling in Monona
county the prospects Of Watkins par
don are rather remote.
