TWO MEN
TO PRISON FOR LIFE
STATE BOARD OF PARDoNs
UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDED
CLEMENCY.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Denyer-Harold Frank Henwood,
sentenced by Judge Charles c. Butler
to die the week of Oct. 25 for the kill
ing OF George F. Copeland, VIII not
hang His sentence was commuted
to life imprisonment Friday by Cover
ror Ammons, upon the recommends
tion of the board of pardons.
Henwood has also escaped what ne
dreaded nearly as much as the inflic-
ton of the death penalty, and that is
confinement in the death cell at
Canon City. He will be taken to
Canon City.
The State Board of Pardons met and
after considering the pleas Of execu-
tive clemency for Henwood, unaIi-
mously recommended to the governor
that Henwood's life be saved.
The governors order of Henwood's
commutat of sentence follows in
part:
THE policy of capital punishment
is not involved in the present ques-
ton. The question at hand is whether
or not the verdict o. the death penalty
was excessive.
The present instance is one wnere
the trial, as reviewed in the courts.
finds the first degree verdict justifi-
able as warranted in the testimony
and evidence.
However. each of the judges in the
Henwood triais seems to be strongly
of the opinion that the circumstances
surrounding the homicide do not war
rant the infliction of the death pen
atty, but believe that life imprison-
ment only should be imposed.
"Henwood was tried for the murder
of Copeland. who was killed while
Henwood was shooting at Won Phul.
He had two trials, and in the first one
was found guilty of murder in the sec
ond degree and the extreme penalty,
that of life imprisonment was i'm
posed.
Under the careful consideration of
the circumstances and conditions,
am of the opinion that the sentence
of death was excessive.
Il hereby order that the sentence OF
hanging of Henwood be commuted to
that of life Imprisonment, aud order
that the warden of the state peniten-
tiary shall SO enter this communication
in the prison records.

Association began its annual session
here.
In his Introduction of President VIII
son Mr. Taft pledged the associations 5
earnest cooperation and its deepest
personal confidence in the Presidents
ability and purpose to guide the ship
OF state safely through the European
crisis. Mr.. Taft declared that the
American people were back of the in
ternational situation and that he had
the confidence of the nation.
President Wilson's response was
that his strength rested In the conf
dence of the people. He pleaded for
the 'humanizing of the law" in this
time of International crisis. no, only as
respected International law, but as to
municipal law. He said the world was
now stirred to its depths but that
the best course for nation to pursue
was the disinterested part He added
that the unsettled world conditions
made good time for freeing the law
from the dry consideration of cold
precedents and injecting into it more
of the viewpoint of justice for the or
dinary man.
"The opinion of the world is the mis-
tress of the world; and the processes
OF international law are the slow proc
esses by which opinion works its will.'
said President Wilson.

Clubs Are Strengthening.
Every club is going to make strenuous
efforts to strengthen itself for the final
test. The Waverly nine, although it has

position where it can beat out Kenil-

And one factor that may affect the
standing of the clubs considerably, pro-
