OF Governor Carroll, to whom their cases
was submitted by the parole board. The
board was divided as to h to do with
the men. Two members of the board
favored an order for a release which
get them out in ABOUT two years, the
term fixed being forty-seven years. The
president Of the board was opposed to
any clemency. The governor therefore
refused to take the matter up at this

RequisitiOn Issued.
The governor issued q requisition for
the return to Nebraska OF three men

fact that Nebraska criminals feel them
selves to be entirely safe II they reach
Sioux City. where the courts invariably
take up their cases and insist upon q trial
