The state prison directors met at |
San Quentin yesterday and discussed |
the case of William Evans the con-
vict who claims that he was railroad |
ed to the prison in 1891 by men who |
desired to win the reward offered for |
the capture and conviction of the
of the murder of Mike |
Tovey committed in Amador county. |
Evans is imprisoned under life sem
tence. Aff1davits, including the
deathbed confession of one of the
prosecutors of Evans, wero presented
as proof of his innocence. Many of
the directors believe that Evans was
imprisoned unjustly and practically
robbed of ID years of his life, and
are of the opinion that everything
possible should be done by the state
in the nature of reparation. Action
on the matter was not taken yester-
day, however, as the directors said
that they desired proof of the abso-
Lutte validity of the affidavits. The
judge who pronounced the sentence
on Evans now declares that he is in
nocent, and this declaration, COM
bined with the afidavits, weighs
heavily with the directors-Call,
