THANKSGIVING PARpoNs.
Governor Directs That Prisoners Go
to Their Former Homes.

Denver-Governor Buchtel, in par
doning three persons from prison In
stitutions the day before Thanksgiv-
ing exiled each from Colorado for
life. The pardons are said to be with
out precedent In carrying this condi-
tion with them. For the first time the
governor of the state went outside OF
the State Penitentiary also. pardoning
one prisoner from the county jail OF
Denver and one from the state reform
Gtory. Each prisoner Is to be sent back
to his mother. Following are the
Thanksgiving clemencies:
Frank Herold, life sentence, peni-
tentiary, for double murder. Served
eight years.
John Rundle intermediate SEN
bicycle.
T. +. Cavanaugh. vag, county jail OF
Denver.
| Luman w. Scovel, Communication of
sentence, State Penitentiary. from
seven to eight years to two to eight
years. Voluntary manslaughter. SEQ
vel is an old soldier.
Herold has never applied for a par
don, having been sentenced In 1899 for
the double murder of Charles II.
O'Hara and Mary a. Moulton O'Hara,
at Brighton, both people of bad repu.
tations. The woman was formerly
habitue of Market street. Herold was
an ignorant German boy of 10. and the
governor said In his letter to Herold
that he believes his story that O'Hara
killed his wife and that Herold killed
O'Hara in self defense when O'Hara at
tackled him as the only witness of the
crime. Herold drove of few cattle,
sold them and tried to get out of the
country. but fear Is advanced as the
cause of this act by those who inter
ested themselves in his behalf. Mrs.
Henrietta Barmeier, one of those who
secured the pardon. was formerly a
well known German grand opera
singer and sang IN Governor Buchtefs
church twenty-five years ago.
1t was the intention of former Gov
ernor Mcdonald to give him the
Christmas pardon. but the plan did not
succeed. He was recommended for
the Thanksgiving pardon by both Gov
ernor and Mrs. Mcdonald and Mrs. j.
b. F. Reynolds. as well as the warden.
Scovel Is sixty years OF age. He
was sentenced from Telluride, San
Miguel county, November IS. 1907, for
voluntary manslauehter. being charged
with the murder of Sam Clark. His
wife Is said to be an invalid and needs
his support. Scovel was formerly a
volunteer officer of the State Bureau
of Child and Animal Protection. serv'

bear the sight OF child or animal be

Foreigners Going Home.

New York.-That the estimate that
SO, 900 emisrants will leave New York
this week for European ports is far be-
low the number that will probably sail,
is the opinion expressed by Gustav Fl,
Schwab, of the North-German Lloyd
line. At least 10000 and perhaps 7O,-
900 will sail. according to Mr.. Schwab's
figures. The Pennsylvania railroad
alone brought more than 1000 to New
York Thursday. A curious feature of
the situation is that the number of
immigrants arriving in New York this
month is greater than for any Decem.
ber on record but It is believed that
the exodus will cause a falling off In
immigration.

the solution would have been easy. but,
occurring as it did within twenty four
