WIECHERS Will
STAY IN PRISON
NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE

BOARD TO CHANGE
MIND.

Jackson, Mich, Dec. 14.-"wolf'
Wiechers, alias DOC" Adams, will not
be released from Marquette prison
on parole. The board OF pardons in
session at Jackson prison last even
ing vacated the action taken by tina,
body at Marquette. i'm which a parole
was granted the imprisoned man.
In discussing the latest action of
the board members of the body stated
that their action was vacated because
Of the fact that they now have infor-
nation which they did not have at the
time the parole was granted
No Discrimination Says Board.
There has been no discrimination
i'm favor of Adams" said one member.
''If we had had the information at
the time the other action was taken
the result would probably have been
adverse The statements that there
has been discrimination to Adamss
benefit is incorrect. The board goes
to Marquette only once every three
months and this was the reason that
the action in paroling Adams was taxi
en- as It was. He would be eligible to
parole on January 80 and the action in
paroling him was taken because this
session was the closest one To the
time when he would be eligigle to re-
lease"
Warden Russell will be notified i'm

board will complete their work in
jackson tomorrow and will go To De-
troit. where about 90 cases are to
come before them at the house of
correction. Fifteen cases have been
heard at Jackson prison during the
past two days. about one-third OF the
applicants being granted paroles.

asking for information regarding the
Wiechers case but he did not answer /
and finally wrote the executive clerk
that he did not want any more COM
