outside of the present wear
nave called upon the prison an.
thorities for the record.
| md that during the past y
years 22 men have been sent to
the penitentiary from Idaho and
llVe pardons have been granted.
y X
Every one of these pardons
was based upon what appeared
TO be good grounds, presented bv
prominent citizens of Idaho coun-
ty and endorsed by officials of
the county.
1t is true as stated in your
letter that the sentence of Ru-
dolph Wetter was commuted from
death to life imprisonment. This
was done, as am informed. at
the earnest solicitation of manv
OF Idaho county's most response
ole citizens. 1t is also true that
the sentence of Joseph Sorrow
was committed by the present
board from life imprisonment to
l5 years. This was done at the
request of the district attorney
who tried the case. supplemented
by letters from many citizens
and petitions signed by hundreds
OF the residents of Idaho county.
Besides personal showings made
to the board by citizens of that
county, the record is on file and
| believe will convince any rea-
sonable man that the board acted
wisely.
Pardon me for calling atten-
ton to these matters, but it is
seemingly necessary in view of
the statements made. Don't
misunderstood me as rushing to
defense of these actions, as |
know nothing possible of any of
them except those happening un-
der my term as governor. |
thoroughly agree with you in
your statement that There is
no more law-abiding, law-enforc-
ing people on the face of the
globe than can be found and so
agreeing | cannot reconcile my
self to the implication neces-
sarily following from those state
ments and recitals of alleged
derelictions of the pardon board
that any part of the law-abiding,
law-enforcing citizens of Idaho
county committed the horrible
crime of Friday last, or have
acquiesced in it's commission be-
cause they have lost faith in JUS
tice being done the criminal ele-
ment of the county by the lack
of confidence in the ability and
honesty of the board of pardons.
Il cannot believe that after
full consideration you will still
insist upon your closing sentence
as quoted by the Statesman:
Il feel that the board of par
dons has been instrumental in
bringing about a condition which
resulted in the brutal lynching OF
Peter Mallick in his cell in the
county Jail last Friday evening.
Hoping to hear in, the near
future that the perpetrators OF
this great crime are before the
bar of justice, and assuring you
of my high regard for you, both
as a citizen and a judge, Iremain.
