BOARD OF PARDONS SHOWS LENIENCY
In SEVEN OF TEN CASES CONSIDERED

The state board of pardons seemed inn
bued with d spirit of mercy yesterday
for of ten cases which came before it,
pardons were granted to six convicts and
one was parOled.
The prisoner paroled is Hiram Mosher
convicted of pOlygamy in Ogden and sen
fenced Sept. 9, 1907, to one year in the
Denitentiary.
A F. Miller was pardoned. He is the
man who was formerly connected with
the famous Utahna park 'on South Main
street. and who was convicted on April
g. 1906, of assaulting a young girl, and
sentenced TO the penitentiary for five
years. Two months ago the board grant
ed him a parole ana yesterday let him off
entirely.
Leo L. Larson, convicted of a similar
crime in Box Elder county. Dec IS. 1901.
and sentenced to six months, was denied a
pardon.
Lester Christensen. convicted of for
gerry in San Juan county, Nov 10, 1907,
and sentenced to one year, was pardoned.
r. W. Watson serving d six-mOnths'
sentence in the county jail for petit lar
ceny, was also parOled. He was sen
fenced by Judge Diehl Jan. II, 1903. Wat
son, with one A. Burt, was accused of

SON IS NAMED EXECUTOR
Mining Interests Left by the Late R.
NJ. Johnson Said to Have
Shrunk in Value.

Horace NJ. johnson of Chicago was
yesterday appointed executor under
the will of the estate of his father, r.
NJ. Johnson, who died at The Halls no
tel Jan. Z, 1908.
Considerable interest has attached to
this case, as in the original will all the
property was given to the children of
his two sons who live in Chicago 1t
appears, however, that about year
ago the elder Johnson prepared a cod
icil bequeathipg to Miss Elizabeth Nc
Cormick $4,000.
As the son, Horace NJ. johnson, was
named as executor in the will, his ap-
pointment yesterday by the court also
makes him executor of the codicil.
1t is understood that an effort will be
made to contest the codicil No steps
to this end have as yet been taken
Johnson will not have to furnish d
bond, as his fathers will provided for
his appointment without bond.
The estate was said TO be worth
ST.. 900 and, in addition, there is an in
terest in several mining ventures which
may turn out to be of value. One of
these the deceased was, it is said, about
TO dispose of before his death for S125,-
600. Yesterday it was asserted that the
value had dwindled to $1,000. Nothing
has as yet been done to realize on the
mining claims.

panies. Burt was released after Watson
had pleaded guilty.
Frank MaZZa was pardOned because he
IS now in the state mental hospital at Pro-
VO. He was convicted in Salt Lake cOun-
ty Feb. 3, 1906, of the crime of involuntary
manslaughter and sentenced to ten years.
He was removed to the mental hospital
several weeks ago and before the board
could meet and act on his case. Mazza
killed the alleged paramOur of his wife
near the corner of Fourth South and
Fifth WeSt streets late in 1900
James diversion, convicted of grand lar
ceny in Mllard. county on July /, 1865.
and sentenced to five years, was also par
doned.
Robert Lanier convicted of attempting
to commit a burglary and sentenced at
ogden Dec. 9, 1906, to seven years, was
parOied.
c. NJ. Kisner. convicted of attempted
burglary and Jail breaking on Sept. 10.
1906 in Ogden, had his application for
pardon denied. He is serving a seven
year sentence.
James X. Castle, serving a year term in
the county Jail for obtaining money under
false pretenses, had his application for
pardon continued two weeks. pending an
investigation by the board. Rabbi Freund
appeared in behalf of Castle. who is a
good looking young man and formerly
lived in Milwaukee, Wis.

The story OF lost mother is told in
a most unusual petition filed in the
probate division of the district court
yesterday. The petitioners are Mrs.
Lillian Johnson and William Hurt of
Sugar ward, children of Aida and
Lawrence Hunt, and because of the
fact that they have heard nothing OF
their mother since 1892 or 1893, they are
asking that they be awarded her es-
tate in this county. A brother, James
Hunt, resides at Butte, Mont.
On May 1, 1890, the territorial dis
trict court granted Aida Hunt a di-
vorce from her husband, Lawrence,
and awarding her as alimony one-third
interest in a twenty-acre farm consist
ing of all of lot l, block 6, Big Field
survey, and fifteen acres in the imme-
date vicinity The interest is now
worth approximately $1,000
After the divorce the relations be-
tween the father and mother seem to
have been friendly, and she resided at
his home with the children for some
months after the decree was entered.
During the year 1892 or 1893, she left
the city and went supposedly to Nam
pa, Ida Since she went there no trace
has been found of her, and it is sup
posed that she is dead. Letters have
been written to the postmaster at
Nampa asking concerning her, but he
has informed the children that after
diligent search he has been unable to
locate the lost mother or find any trace
of her.

they believe that she did not marry
