JUDGE TANNER IS
PARD0NED.
MercyIsShownMan Who
Perjured Himself to
Save Senator Mitchell
Services in Behalf of the
Government Win Free
dom for Aged Jurist

PORTLAND, July 6.-Former Judge
A. III. Tanner, who committed perjury
in order to shield his law partner, the
late United States Senator John III.
Mitchell. was pardoned by the Presi-
dent June 26. The announcement was
made by Assistant Attorney General
Francis ]. Heney today.
Judge Tanner was convicted on his
own confession that he had PICTURED
himself before the Federal Grand Jury
In testifying that the partnership
agreement of the firm of Mitchell q
Tanner had been IN existence several
years, whereas 1t was less than three
months old. This agreement affected
the division of attorneys fees received
by the firm of Mitchell & Tanner, and
provided that all moneys received for
practice before any of the departments
of the Federal Government should be-
long exclusively to Tanner.
1t was upon this agreement that Sem
ator Mitchell intended to base his de-
fense. that he had received no money
for practice before the departments, as
was charged In the indictment.
Judge Tanners confession was by far
the most sensational feature of the land
fraud trials in this State. not even ex-
cepting MitchelI's indictment. Judge
Tanner had been considered a man of
untarnished reputation, and his confess
sion came as a clap of thunder from
clear sky. He saidshe had confessed
In order to save his son, who was a
clerk In the law office of Mitchell &
Tanner, and who had drawn up the
contract. from going to prison. He ex-
cused his conduct in perjuring himself
by saying that he had been on intimate
terms with Mitchell since his boyhood,
and that 1T had been Mitchell who first
gave him his start in the law business.
Judge Tanner was sympathized with
by people here generally. where SEN
ator Mitchelrs wonderful hold on his
friends was best known Judge Tan
ner was never sentenced. as il was gen.
orally understood that the Government
would allow him immunity in consid-
Grafton of the service he rendered 1T
when he later went on the witness
stand during Mitchelrs trial in the Gov
ernment's behalf.

doubtedly due to her rare presence of

from the hub. The horse took fright
and ran, dragging the buggy on the
three remaining wheels. Miss Doig re-

MACHINE AN ISSUE
In ELWELL FIGHT
SUPREME COURT PASSES ON THE
CASE TOMORROW.
Elwell's Attorney VIII Contend that
the Use Of Ballots in Precincts
Equipped with Machines Was H.
legal Comstock Would Throw Out
AL Machine Votes.

The Elwell-C omstock senatorial con-
test in the thirty-ninth legislative dis
trict, comprising the second and ninth
wards and the village Of st. Anthony,
will come up for final action before the
supreme court tomorrow The question
involved is chiefly that of the legality
Of the Dean voting machine used, at
the last primaries, and the legality Of
the practice as Of allowing both machine
eincts equipped with. machines. In ad-
dition, the supreme court will be asked
to rule on thirty or more ballots that
have been contested and which the
district court has settled by giving
some. to Elwen and some to Comstock,
while others have been thrown out en-
tirely. 49, b. :
More than usual interest attaches to
the case. The final count, after re-
count and hearing in the district court,
shows J. T. Elwell the nominee for
Comstock, the present senator running
presented by both parties tomorrow,
Comstock being represented by Victor
Welch and Elwell by John II. Steele.
r., Both sides will ask final rulings on
| the. thirty contested ballots and each
| will try to show that it is entitled to
Ivy VI tu0SS. LII duQIt1Ou,
Steele. for Mr.. Elwell, will argue also
that the action of the judges in the
two precincts where machines were in
stalled, in allowing voters to vote by
ballot also, was illegal, and that, there
fore, the ballots marked by. voters
shuold be thrown out and only the ma
chine vote counted. On the machines
of the two precincts Elwell has a lead.
| Senator Comstock thru his attorney
takes the stand that the machines were
illegal, in that the machine commission
after approving certain features Of the
Dean machine, pointed out the need Of
certain improvements. It is contend
ed that after these changes were made
the commission never finally and for
! mally- passed an approval and that
therefore the machine vote is illegal
and should be thrown out, Comstock
has lead on the marked ballots
which he seeks to have retained.
The case has been followed with the
keenest interest by politicians who Gag,
erly await the outcome Of the hearing
