BY PRESIDENT WILSON

Man Where Courts and
Department ConfIicted.

President Wilson today issued a pardon
to Norman o. Curry, former member OF
the United States Marine Corps, who
has for some months been a prisoner
at Portsmouth. n. H.. after having been
convicted Of desertion. The pardon was
issued on Recommendation of Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels, who stated that
Currys troubles arose through a con-
fiict between the courts and the Navy
Department the courts ordering the
former marine to do something for
which the navy authorities procured his
arrest conviction and Imprisonment.
The case Of Curry was presented to the
president this morning by Secretary
Daniels.
The record showed that Curry deserted
his wife and two children in this city
year ago. that the wife filed charges
of non-support: that Curry was arrested
in Pittsburgh a few days after he had
enlisted In the Marine Corps and that
he was brought back to Washington by
the civil authorities and pleaded guilty
to the charge in Justice Clabaugh's'
court.
The Secretary said that Curry's sem
tence was suspended, however. on his
promise to support his wife and lam
lily. and he was placed on probation by
Secretary Daniels. he went to work and
made reparation for his misconduct by
taking the best Of care of his family"
Arrested for Desertion.
After . period Of seven months. how
ever. he was arrested. said the Secre-
tary. as q deserter from the navy. and
was court-martialed and sentenced to
eighteen months imprisonment In the
penitentiary at Portsmouth. N. ii.
Meantime, said the Secretary. his wife
and children have been reduced to the
direst poverty. They are threatened, he
said, with the loss of all their furniture
and worldly belongings. and "at the
present time are supported by friendly
and neighborly charity"
Secretary Daniels added that Curry
thought he was doing the right thing In
eoinS to work to support his family under
the probation order Of the court. Though
he was usually slow to recommend par
don in cases OF desertion. Secretary
Daniels said he thought that such
clemency should be exercised In this case
under the circumstances. The Secretary
expressed the belief that Curry had
been unwittingly caught between Scylia
and Charybdis.'
