The Press., 1904-11-23

weeks Press that John Warren, the wife murderer and prisoner for life in the Conn. penitentiary. has peti- tioned the board of pardons for @ pardon, and says that he thinks that he has been punished enough. re- call vividly the circumstances connect ed with the murder. How, after he had murdered his young wife, he carried her body from one place to another, until he concealed her in the bushes on the banks of the river below Stafford Springs, where she was found in a state of decomposition, and how he was finally found con- cealed under his fathers barn in Mansfield. cannot conceive of 8 more fiendish, cold -blooded murder than that for which John Warren re- ceived his sentence for murder in the second degree. trust the pardoning power will move slowly.
