ANTOINE WOOD PARoLED
WILL GO TO HUBBARD COLONY
Boy Murderer viii Be Released From
Colorado Penitentiary to Be EN-.
ployed at East Aurora, New York,

Denver, Sept. 2.-Antone Woode
was paroled by the State Board of Par.
dons at its meeting yesterday after
noon. He probably will get his first
glimpse of the world Monday, as 1t
will take until then for the papers to
reach the governor and be returned to
the warden. The paroles always con.
tain agreements which the prisoner
signs. They are then approved and
signed by the governor.
There Is restriction in Woode's s
parole because it is stipulated that he
is to be delivered to Elbert Hubbard
by Warden Cleghorn in person. In
taking this precaution the board is
trying to prevent the young man fall
ing into the hands of undesirable per-
sons, who might want to exhibit him
or otherwise take advantage OF him.
Mr.. Hubbard has said that he will take
him and provide him with work at
his East Aurora colony, and believing
that the remaining months that the
young man has charged against him,
will serve to work no more reform in
him, the members of the board de-
cided that Mr.. Hubbard shall be al
lowed to see what he can do.
All members of the board of par
dons were present at the meeting yes.
terday afternoon, with the exception
Of Ralph Smith, who for long time
held out against pardonlng Woode.
Governor Mcdonald said that the
board unanimously agreed to recon.
mend the parole and that he will sign
it. Letters were shown the board, in
which Hubbard agreed to take charge
of Woode and put him to work. They
were also assured that the cost of send
ing him there will be met.
Antoine Woode's case is one of the
strangest In the annals of crime. In
1893, when only eleven years of age,
he left his home one morning with a
shotgun to hunt rabbits. He met Jo-
seph Smith, u business man of Denver,
and they walked together. Smith hap
pened to show his fine gold watch and
the boy coveted 1t. Slipping behind
his victim. he shot him through the
back. Taking the watch. The boy went
to his home and hid II, but when the
body was found, he was suspected of
the crime and confessed it.
1t was not legal to hang a child of
that age, and there was no reformatory
at that time. while of course 1t was
impossible to turn child with such
tendencies among tine children at the
industrial school. so the authorities
were puzzled what to do with him.
There appeared nothing to do but to
put him in the state prison. He was
sentenced for twenty-five years, and
counting off time for good conduct, he
has served all Of the term but eighteen
months.
