Fresno to the California State Uni

the courts a share of the raisin grow

public the fact, whicn few knew, that
he is a cousin of the deceased Kearney.
He admits that his attorney, William

the Civil Code which Denis Kearney
proposes to invoke the aid of to fur

His suit will prevent the agricul-

years unless some compromise is ef-

spending several hours with the Presl-
dent, returned to New York in an auto
mobile. Both declined to discuss the
object of their visit. Mr.. Jones said the
call related purely to a matter OF busl-
ness and refused to say what results
were achieved.
The oil lease controversy In the In

lively contention before the Depart

the status of these leases was made the
subject of protracted consideration by
Congress in the recent Statehood legis-
lation.

POWERFUL APPEAL
MADE FOR FEL0N.
Influential People Ask
Governor of Texas to
Pardon a Life Termer
AIDS A MURDERER
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI

SHEClAL D1SRAICH The CALL.
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. "a power
full appeal has been made to Governor
Lanhamy from influential people
through Texas and West Virginia to
grant a pardon to w. ]. Dent who Is
serving a life sentence In the State
penitentiary at Huntsville for having
forged the pardon of George Isaacs,
another convict, who was serving a life
sentence for murder. Dent belongs to
one of the most prominent families in
West Virginia.
Dent was serving a two years term
in the Texas penitentiary when he be-
came acquainted with Isaacs. He was
in for forgery and Isaacs suggested
that his adept use of the pen might
give him (Isaacs) his liberty. Isaacs
had rich relatives and it was arranged
that ii Dent succeeded in the job he
would be paid $4,000. Dent began
work on the scheme as soon as he was
released from prison. He came to Aus
tin and called at the office of Governor
Sayers. He used an assumed name and
claimed to be a cattleman from Mon
tana. He stated that his object was to
offer a protest against certain con-
vict's pardon. This convict was for
merly a Montana cowboy and applica
ton for his pardon was pending. Dent
obtained access to the pardon records
and got hold of a blank pardon. He
filled this out, stamped 1t with the
States seal. signed Governor Sayers
name to it and mailed it in an official
envelope to the executive office. 1t
reached the superintendent of the peni-
tentiary at Huntsville in the usual reg
ular way of all pardons, and there was
no suspicion that it was not legal in
every way.
But for the fact that Isaacs returned
to his old haunts in the Texas pan
handle, where he was seen by friends
of the man whom he had murdered, the
fact that his pardon was forged might
never have been discovered. One of
the murdered mems friends wrote to
Governor Sayers, protesting against
the pardon and inquiring who signed
the application for Isaacs' release. An
examination of the records of the Gov
ernors Office showed that no pardon
had been issued.
After a chase of several weeks Dent
was finally captured in Arizona, and
was tried for being accessory to the
murder for which Isaacs was serving
a life sentence. The feeling against
Dent was strong, and he was convicted
of the alleged crime and sentenced to
take Isaacs place in prison for the
remainder of his natural life.
Dent claims that he received only
few hundred dollars of the $4,000
which WIS promised him for securing
Isaacs' liberty.
