EFFORT TO SECURE
 PARDON FOR ADDIE BURNS.
Her Case to Be Brought Before Next
 Session of the Board.

A determined effort will be made, it is said, at the next sitting of the state board of pardons to secure the re- lease of Addie Burns from states pris- on, or at least a communication of sen tence. Such a movement in fact is already well on foot. Addie Burns was sentenced by Judge Ralph Wheel CT in the superior court at Norwich on Jan. 26, 1909, to serve from 12 to l5 years in states prison after jury had convicted her of statutory rape on 15 year old May Burns of New Haven. so that she has served about three years
 As soon as the sentence was i'm posed Attorney GoodhArt her counsel, moved for a stay of execution, which was later denied. Subsequent appeal to the supreme court was taken and in fact every legal move possible has been made in the attempt to save her from serving the long term in the state prison,
 It is claimed that the sentence was excessive. It is said that Addie Burns health is not good and that she will never survive so long a sentence.
 Counsel will conduct the movement to secure leniency for the New Lon don woman from the board of par dons- The evidence in the ca SC is be- ing reviewed from copies of it secured for the purpose.
