. . . Q .
Lost in Prison He Gets Pardon.


Olympia-Oscar Bradshaw, who
after being sentenced to be hanged
for murder, was lost and forgotten
in the county Jail at Walla Walla for
Years, has again played in luck, for
Governor Mead has granted him
conditional pardon. In 1892 Brad
shaw was convicted of murder at
PascO. Appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court, and while this was
pending Bradshaw was placed in the
Walla Walla county Jail for safe
keeping, there being no fit place at
Pasco. The appeal was never pushed
and month after month passed.
County administration changed and
Bradshaw was forgotten. In 1906
inquiry disclosed the facts, Bradshaw
was taken to Pasco and sentenced to
be hanged, but before the execution
date Governor Mead committed the
sentence to life Imprisonment
Bradshaw was but Is years when
he committed the crime and he was
undoubtedly led into the act by an
older companion, who escaped with
a light sentence and is now at lib
erty. The fact that the father of the
young man was recently injured for
life and the boys assistance is need
ed for the support Of his family and
the further fact that he has been a
model prisoner since his confinement
In the penitentiary weighed in his
favor
