SEEK PARDON
FOR SCHISSLER
IDAHO COUNTY CITIZENS EX-
PRESS FEELING THAT MAN
WHO SHOT WILLIAMS SHOULD
GO FREE

A movement has been started In
Idaho county to secure the pardon
of Harry Schissler, now serving an
eight-year sentence in the state pen
itentiary at Boise on the charge of
killing w. H. Williams at Sites
three years ago.
Schissler belongs to pioneer
family of Idaho county and is well
known in all sections of the coun-
ty. The question involved at his
trial was whether the shooting OF
Williams was in self-defense, and
the character of the sentence sug-
gests the doubt which existed in the
minds of the jury which rendered
the verdict.
! 1t is stated the movement looking
toward petitioning for a pardon Il
receiving strong support in all sec
tions and it is expected definite ac
ton in the case will be taken in {
short time.
