SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS
FREED BY PARDON BOARD
Man withholds Indemnity When Ar.
rested.-Gives Name OF
Charles Rond0.

Spokane, WASH, May 7th-
Charles Rondo, who was convicted
under the name of Charles Rollins
of the murder of NJ. Vincent of Wal
lace, Idaho, and sentenced to 40
years in the penitentiary. is free
man, being given his liberty by the
state pardon board after a thorough
investigation, when it was brought
out he was the victim of series of
remarkable circumstances. Rondo
refused to divulge his identity when
arrested, saying that to do so would
probably result in the death of his
aged mother, neither would he give
testimony in his own behalf.
When arrested two weeks after
the death of Vincent, in August,
1908, Rondo was recovering from a
bruised eye. He was identified by
Vincent's companions, although he
bore no resemblance to the two
men arrested and positively identi-
fed earlier as Vincent's assailants.
The two suspects, however,
established alibi and were released.
Witnesses testified at the hearing
that their Identification of Rondo
was made more certain because of
his injured eye. Rondo persistently
maintained his innocence and this
and conflicting testimony was
brought to the attention of the par
don board with the result already
noted.

Dictated that death was instantaneous.
Doubt is expressed of finding any of
the others alive.
After the removal of the bodies it
was found necessary to send a force
OF miners into the workings to
strengthen the brattices and to pre-
vent caveins, which were frequent dur
ing the night. This and the presence
of after damp delayed the work of res
cue for several hours.
In the meantime the dead had been
removed to temporary morgue near
the workings and were slowly identi-
fed. Several of the bodies were lace,
rated and all were burned about the
head and upper part of the body.
Among those identified were G. H.
stansberry, assistant mine foreman.
James Liddell, one of the best known
miners in the Birmingham district and
former legislator, was overcome by
afterdamp while aiding in the work of
rescue. His condition was serious for
a time, but when he recovered he
again took charge of one of the rescue
