Board Of Pardons Refused Pet

ooafo OF FaroonS Refused Petition.
The state pardoning board has re-
fused to pardon James Williams, who
is serving a life sentence for the
murder of Mark D. Bartleson at Miami
about three years ago.
This is a matter of regret to many
of the friends of Mr.. Williams here.
He is a young man from an excellent
family and killed Bartleson under
the most trying circumstances and
his friends feel that he is more deserv-
ing OF a pardon than great many
other offenders, who have been
pardoned and have killed their vic
tins for less cause and under less
trying circumstances.
