Board to Decide When His indstsr-

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican-
Des Moines, July 19-The widespread
dissatisfaction or misunderstanding, or
whatever it is, which prevails regard
ing the methods of the state parole
board and the parole department of the
executive office, will have opportunity
to make showing and secure some
thing Of an airing for the system which
prevails, when the certiorari case of
William Ferguson comes into the SUI
prcne court at the next session.
The case appears to be typical of
many others growing out of the diff
culties that stand in the way of estab-
fishing new system in the state for
handling the problem Of the criminal
and the law violator.
In brief the situation seems to be
this. that Ferguson was convicted in
Sac county of breaking and entering a
car and taking therefrom something of
small value. He was given an indeter-
inmate sentence. which can not be, I'M
der the law. longer than ten years. 1t is
then the duty, following his commit
ment, for the parole board to decide
when the indeterminate sentence shall
end and to make an order as to the
termination.
Last winter Ferguson asked the par
ole board to limit the time of his in
generation and he filed papers from
various officials urging clemency and
an early release. His case was still
pending in supreme court and when he
was asked by the parole board to sign
what is known as the Inmates state
ment," he declined. This is a blank CIV
ing the mans life history and that OF
his family and his habits and all about
himself. In May, Ferguson took up the
matter with the governor direct and
received a letter from Paul Carroll. sof
Of the governor, who has charge of the
pardons, advising him to take it up
with the parole board.
For some reason Ferguson preferred
to take it up with the governor and
declined to go into the case with the
parole board, but has insisted that I'M
der the law he has a right to demand
that the governor or parole board fix
the term of his Incarceration without
compelling him to go on record as to
family history. Just what has moved
the prisoner to feel aSgrieved at the
parole board does not appear.
The application for certiorari which
has been filed indicates that Ferguson
will go pretty thoroly into the methods
followed by the board and make
point that the rules fixed are arbitrary
and deprive prisoners Of their rights
under the law.
Leading residents of Sac county
have interested themselves in behalf of
Ferguson and are urging that some
thing be done.
