Des Moines, Nov. 22.-After serving
sixteen years in prison. following
sentence of death, George Weems. of
Dallas county. has returned to his faith
err as noted Monday. Governor Drake
prisonment and Governor Carroll fixed
the time limit under which he has now
been released, a thirty-year term with
good time. During the past year or two
Weems enjoyed privilege not often
accorded to life termers. that of being
a trusty outside the prison walls.
Weems was convicted of the murder
Of Conductor Redpath in Des Ioines
in 1894 The man was held up for
money one evening and killed because
he resisted. Two men We're seen to do
the act. Weems, Hamill and Kraut
had been seen together in the evening.
Kraut turned states evidence and
served a short term. Hamill and
Weems were sentenced to hang. Hamill
is now in the insane ward at Anamosa.
The fact was that while the three
had been together d short time before
it was Kraut and Hamill who commit
ned the deed, kraut firing the fatal
shot; and Weems who had separated
from them was at the very time visit
ing an acquaintance in a nearby
house But Weems fled and the wom-
an he was visiting also fed. The lat
ter is now living in another city OF

and she is living a good life. She told
the story a few years ago which, If 1t
had been told at the trial, would have
cleared Weens; but for fear of dis
closing her own past life she refused
to make an affidavit.
The aged father of Weems. a poor old
soldier, has devoted much of his life
to securing the release of the young
man. He believes absolutely in his en-
tire innocence, and this belief is shared
by many others. The matter was be-
fore the legislature two or three times.
but Of course could not there receive
the attention it deserved. but Lieuten-
ant Governor Clarke when he was
speaker went before the pardons COM
mittee ard made an impassioned plea
for Weems and declared his own firm
conviction in the innocence of the con-
vict Neems had been hayward and
once had been convicted of minor Of
Tense. which precluded fair trial The
evidence against him was also eXag-
gerated by detectives intent upon d re-
ward. In addition to this there was
much public indignation over the case
and an excited state of the public mind
which aided in sustaining verdict OF
guilty. But a great many good peo-
pie have never believed in the guilt Of
young George Weems and they are
glad that he is at last free.
