AFTER TWENTY.SEVEN YEARS,
NEW EVIDENCE CHANGED A
LIFE SENTENCE.
ROOSEVELT REFUSED PARDON
Daniel Jones, an Oklahoma Prisoner.
Was Convicted Of Murder by Wo.

futed-Pardoned by President Tart.

Leavenworth. Kan, May 14.-New
evidence on "A case tried twenty-seyen
years ago freed Daniel Jones, a con.
yict, serving life sentence in the
federal penitentiary in Leayenworth.
Jones vas released at 4:3O o'ciocil
this afternoon by order of President
Taft. Since Jones entered the house
Of correction at Detroit, Mich, before
the federal penitentiary was built, the
territory in which he lived has become
state and the wilderness which sur
rounded his cabin on the Red River
valuable farm land.
Jones was pioneer on the frontier
OF the Indian Territory in the early

mans step and the leathern look from
his skin A severe illness, contracted
in prison, not only aged him, but fl
nally resulted in the amputaton OF
his left leg.
A Cousin Wrecked His Home.
The story of Jones' conviction is
that of a man sentenced to be hanged
on circumstantial evidence proved
only by one persons testimony.
As the result of a fight, Jones was
sentenced to two years term in
Jail in Texas. After his sentence was
served he returned to what then was
Indian Territory. He found that his
home had been broken up by his
cousin, William.
A reconciliation was made and
Jones, his mother, his father and his
cousin moved to a small cleared space
in the wilderness along the Red river.
There they made their living by hunt
ing and trading with their semi-occa-
sional visitors.
Sentenced on Woman's Evidence.
One night William Jones was left in

he was found dead. He had been shot
through the heart.
The dead man was taken to the
nearest town and buried All the 9th

away on the night of Williams death,
and it was considered certain that it
was a case of suicide
But a woman who passed the cabin
the night William died told her neigh

murder. This woman testified that
Williams wound had not been burned
by powder, as It would have been had
he been a suicide, and upon her evil
dence Jones was sentenced to ne
hanged.
Roosevelt Refused a Pardon.
His sentence was commuted to life
imprisonment in 1884, In 1908 Presi'
dent Roosevelt refused to pardon him.
But when the case came before Presi-
dent Taft the undertaken who had
buried William Jones-and who, for
some unknown reason, had kept ST.
lence during Daniels trial-appeared,
and made an affidavit that Williams
clothes were burned by powder.
The attorney general recommended
clemency. The president decided there
was grave doubt of Jones' guilt and
freed him after he had served twenty
seven years in prison, the equivalent
to a forty years sentence with time
off for good behavior.
