IOWA PAROLE BOARD
MEMBERS ISSUE STATEMENT
MAKING DEFENSE OF POLICY
IN THE skAGGs CASE.
ADMIT He WAS NOT A BlGAMlST
Insist That the Prisoner Is Without
Doubt . Thoroughly Bad Man and
Deserved to Be Returned to the
State Penitentiary at Anamosa.

Des NOTES.-THE members of the
state board of parole have issued a
statement defending their action in
The return of Clarence Skaggs to pris-
on. Skaggs was working in Omaha
when apprehended, and over the pro-
test of his employer was taken to
Anamosa to complete twenty-year
term for burglary.
I In this statement the board explains
what paroled prisoner is expected
to do.
1t is declared that Skaggs violated
his parole in about as many ways as
one could violate parole. He is ac-
cused of absconding, of perjurins
himself, of deceiving his girl wife, of
marrying without permission from the
court that divorced him from for,
mer wife, Of making false statements
to the board and of associating with
disreputable persons.
No prisoners have been returned for
technical violations of their paroles,
according to the statement 1t has
been the policy of the board to help
along those who fall into slight diff
culties. Skaggs has demonstrated
that at heart he was not right, and
gives evidence now by his talk and &C
tons, that he is sorry, not because of
any distress suffered by others, but
because he has lost his liberty In
the Judgment of the board not to have
enforced the law under these condi-
tons would have been to make it a
farce and would merit the scorn Of
good citizens and good prisoners
Junkin murdered his victim, but her
sufferings are over and she is at rest,
while the life of Skaggs's victim is
blighted and she is left to suffer
while she lives. ~.
In a statement issued from the pris-
on few days ago it was claimed that
Skaggs is a bigamist 1t was found,
however, that he had been divorced
some time before he was married
again. His first wife declared that no
man could get along in community
from which he had been sent to
prison. IA.
