Governor West this morning com
muted the sentence Of Lem Woon, the

convicted about five years ago Of kill
ing another Chinaman in Portland.
The affair was the elimination of a

largely on the testimony Of that fac

the murdered man identified him, but
this was only the testimony of his en-

got new trial, and was finally sent
back to China.
Lem Woon's case went to the U. s.
supreme court, and he has been in Jail
more than five years since first ar
rested for this crime. There is consid
erable doubt as to his guilt, and the
governor gave him the benefit Of the
