Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER, Del, Oct Fully three
hours deliberation was had here this
morning by the State Board OF Par
dons over the case of William NJ. Boy
er, constable OF Kent county up un-
til Monday last when he resigned, In
which a pardon for the restoration TO
citizenship was asked for by his coun-
sell Charles H. LeFevre.
Boyer was sentenced in October,
1912. for "Uttering and passing an
insurance receipt for the sum of Sl.25
to two months Imprisonment and a
fine OF $50, and because Of such
crime, which was a felony, he Is de-
prived Of his citizenship. so far as
voting or holding office is concerned.
Mr.. LeFevre presented the case IN
accordance with the rules of the
Board of Pardons. and in doing so
presented a Lengthy petition from
nearly fifty citizens and prominent
business men of Smyrna, as well as
several affidavits from individuals
asking for pardon so that Boyer
might be restored TO his citizenship
/ and to his office that of constable for
/ Smyrna. where the two justices of
/ peace of Smyrna declare he is needed
/ for the serving of legal papers. etc.
Justice of the Peace Henry ). An
thony, of Smyrna. was present at The
hearing of the board, and testified as
10 Boyer's fitness for the position and
the demand for his services as con-
stable Magistrate Anthony declared
that many more allidavits could have
been presented TO the board if it had
been necessary
Members of the board closely ques-
toned Attorney LeFevre, as to Boy
er's knowing of his disqualification
for holding office because of his con-
yiction and sentence in a Kent coun-
ty court Attorney LeFevre, replying
that Boyer knowledge of the con-
stitutiOnal provision was limited, and
that he was not aware that he was
disqualified on that score. Secretary
Of State Thomas W. Miller took an
active part in the questioning of
Boyer's knowledge of his disqualifi-
cation, telling of an interview the
governor had had with Boyer in the
month Of June past on that particu-
lar point.
Boyer had not seen fit to resign the
Office OF constable until MONDAY last
II was also brought out that the
Kent County Levy Court had been ad-
vised in March last. that the appoint
ment of Boyer would not be proper by
the attorney for the court, W. W. HaT-
riRgton. but that because of the de-
mand made for the appointment of
Boyer by the citizens and two JUS
tees of the Peace of Smyrna, he had
been elected by the Levy Court.
Mr.. Lcfeyre referred TO the restora-
tion to citizenship of John Barr, OF Sus-
sex county, who had been convicted of
bribery, as a precedent established by
the board in granting a pardon for
Boyer. Il was further shown that Boy
or had not committed the Oifense charp-
ed against him while serving as con-
stable, but before he was elected TO
such Office.
The board remained I'm executive
