differ ~ to the events leading up to
the killing Of the Morning Sun town
marshal by the old soldier. but there
was some evidence, at least. that NC
Pherson felt he was being badly treated
and in fact in danger OF his life, be-
came excited and anSered and fight
followed which ended in the killing
The men were strangers to each other.
The facts of the case came to the
attention of your correspondent ten
years ago when, as clerk Of the par
dons committee of the house, he had
occasion to brief up that and many
other cases for the legislature. An In
teresting incident was that yesterday,
after the case had been presented to
the governor by forty Of the survivors
Of the Nineteenth Iowa, Orman Nc
Pherson, Jr.. son of the old soldier who
was present when the homicide was
committed. learned from the writer for
the first time that his sister. who was
4 years old and the cause OF the trag-
edy at Morning Sun. has since gradu-
ated from an Iowa high school and has
married. He had lost track Of her long
ago. The son is new q business man
in Chicago and offers to care for the
old man when he Is released, for the
few years he may live.
The army comrades of the old soldier
made fearful plea for their comrade,
not denying any fact in the case nor
excusing the act, but contending that
Mcpherson has been sufficiently pun
ished.
Governor Clarke gave no sign of his
action but that he would investigate
fully.

Des Moines. June 12.-It's good
guess that Governor Clarke will direct
release from prison Of Orman Nc
Pherson. veteran of the Fourteenth
Iowa, life termer at Fort Madison.
50 years old.
The parole board considered the
case and the substance of the finding
was that the tria! was legal and regu
lar and no errors were committed by
the court. But previously the Thirtieth
general assembly had considered the
matter and failed to recommend par
don. and the Thirty first general as
emily had done the same. Governor
Clarke was q member Of both these
general assemblies and became some
what familiar with the case.
There was reason why neither the
assembly nor the parole board acted
favorably. At the time the Mcpherson
case came before the assembly. E. l..
McClurkin was q member Of the house,
and he was the mayor OF Morning Sun
when his town marshal, Ar. Finley
was killed by Mcpherson. He protested
strongly against the parole. and mem
bers said that they could not fairly
vote for parole without offending
member whom they held in high es-
TEEN. And over in the senate Frank
Molesberry was the senator and Moles-
berry was the county attorney who
prosecuted Mcpherson and vote to
recommend clemency meant a vote to
condemn one member OF the senate.
And before the parole board another
complication arose. When the par
ole matter was before the legislature
ex-senator Berry had appeared on be-
half Of the former wife OF Mcpherson
and as her attorney had opposed the
parole. And when it came before the
parole board Mr.. Berry was member
While of course he did no, take any
part the other members were aware
OF the history of the case and could
not very well have voted TO release one
against whom the chairman OF thei-
board had MADE night.
So that is why for sixteen years
Orman Mcpherson, Iowa old soldier.
has remained in prison until he is old
and i'll.
Verdict Too Severe.
ANY fair analysis of the evidence in
the case will indicate that a verdict
for manslaughter would have been
more nearly in accord with the facts:
and Mcpherson has now served twice
the limit for granddaughter. Stories

cent clothes which were protected by

and clean looking, the dead body dis
covered by a train crew lying beside
