Eldora, March ia number Of the
citizens of Eldora and Steamboat Rock
were in attendance the Arst Of the
week before the parole board in Des
Moines at the hearing Of the applica-
ton of Nathan and Frank Rainsbarger
for parole or pardon. Some Of these
citizens were against the release Of the
brothers, but the greater number of
them believed that the men who have
now served twenty mine years either in
jail or reformatory should be given
their freedom.
It was the unanimous opinion Of
those who appeared on behalf Of the
release of the brothers that the hearing
was not an entirely fair one, for the
reason that Chairman w. III. Berry, OF
the parole board, manifested only too
clearly his prejudices and interrupted
the witnesses for the brothers with
legal questions, while giving attentive
hearing to the DIRECTORS.
Have New Evidence.
Another Objectionable point in con-
nection with this hearing is the evident
prejudice Of the correspondent for the
daily press from Des Moines who
stated that there was no new evidence
to be submitted to the board. Mr..
Waterman has in his possession plenty

by Chairman Berry because Of certain
alleged utterances Of waterman rela .

listen to the new material attempted
to be offered BY Waterman. and tho
witness who followed Waterman be-

esrry's Position.
= Mr.. Berry takes the position that the
parole board has not the authority to
60 behind the findings Of the jury
which convicted the brothers. If this
Is true, then . great many citizens Of
Iowa can not understand just what are
the duties Of the board or the use it
Is to the state. Mr.. Berry held that
the board couM not legally, controvert
the findings sof the jury unless there
was new evidence offered, and when
the new evidence was about to be sub
,mitted refused to listen to the affi-
davits offered by Waterman because Of
q personal feeling between Waterman
and himself.
The friends Of the Rainsbargers
found that ii was impossible to beat
the opposing team and the umpire as
well.
IL Warden Barr For >Nainsbaroers.
Ex-Warden Barr, Ut Oskaloosa, ap-
.peared before the board and took issue
with the chairman in his findings as
to the purpose of the act which created
the board The boards attention was
also called to the fact that w. r.
Glynden and Frank Novak, convicted
of murder in the first degree, had been
liberated upon the recommendation Of
the board, but which refused to act
favorably on the application OF the
Rainsbayger brothers, notwithstanding
the fact that II clemency was exer-
cised in one case under similar condi-
lions it Is gross Inconsistency on the
part Of the board to deny favorable
consideration to other applicants.
The boards attention was called to
the fact It was the flrm belief of many
citizens of Hardin county that money
had been used to retain the Rains
harger brothers in prison. notwith-
standing their long and faithful SER
vice, good behavior and question Of
doubt as to their guilt.
Summing the case up in It's entirety,
the friends Of the Rainsbarger are OF
the opinion that they were not given
a fair and impartial hearing and that
tho quarrel Of Berry with Waterman
ought not to rebound to the discredit
Of the Rainsbarger brothers. now near
Ing the shadows which are growing
long in the west.

Des Moines, March 13.-The matter
Of the application of the Rainsbarsers
for clemency. on the ground Of their
having served long enough and fully
cxpiated the crime for which they were
convicted. will be taken to the COVER
nor as soon az the parole board makes
report, ana Governor Clarke will con-
slider it on its merits and SO fully into
the details of the evidence. Itisilearned
that one reasontsDrscticalIy nothing
was presented to the parole board this
week, in the way, Of new evidence or
fresh angles to the case. is that the
major part Of the case is to be held
back until 1t gets squarely before the
governor.
It was Governor Cummins and At
torney General Byers who held that the
governor IL not required to approve the
recommendation of the parole board.
Governor Clarke has never ruled def
ni,ely as to his attitude, but he IL
known to hold to the view that only
are very unusual will governor be
justified in going back of the parole
beard findings. But the Rainsbarger
case is recognized as one of unusual
character.
Affidavits Sensational.
Those who are permitted to know
declare that some very sensational
affidavits will be turned up in due time
in the case, and these may put an en-
tirely different light on the whole
case. Just what those relate to Is not
disclosed. 1t is certain, however. from
actions observed. that those who are
and have been for many years fighting
the clemency appeal are very much
exercised over the recent developments
and realize that critical stage has
been reached.
Two former members of the parole
board, now both dead, favored the pa
role of the Rainsbargers. 1t is asserted
that at one time there was virtual
agreement to recommend commuta-
ton Of sentence. There is nothing in
the records to substantiate this claim.
There is a rumor about the state
house that some prosecutions for libel
are likely to grow out Of the case.
