UTAH BOARD OF PARDONS ARE FIRM

The Board CT Pardons went into
session at the prison last Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock, but it was after
8 o'clock before the Hillstrom case
was reached. The hearing of this case
was open to the public. 1t was of but
short duration, and the only person
to appear in defense of the condemn
ed man was his counsel, Soren X.
Christensen.
Hillstrom did not even appear be
fore the Board, and maintained, his
counsel said, that silence which he has
kept ever since his arrest regarding
the manner in which he received the
wound which he bore at the time of
his arrest for the Morrison murders.
Governor William Spry, sitting as
Chairman of the Board of Pardons,
called the meeting to order after it
had been opened to the public, the
Board previously having been in ex-
ecutive session, He called on anyone
who might have information in the
matter of Joseph Hillstrom, convicted
of the crime of murder and under re-
spite from sentence of death, at the
request of the President of the Uni
ted States and w. A. F. Ekengren,
Minister OF Sweden, to give it.
Soren X. Christensen, counsel for
Hillstrom, arose and in his opening
said to the Board that he had nothing
new to offer in the case.
Governor Spry asked if Hillstrom
did not wish to appear before the
Board at this meeting, but was advised
by Mr.. Christensen that he did not.
Following this there came discus
sion among the members of the Board
in which Mr., Christensen took some
part, as to why F. B. Scott and others
who might know something of the
case were not present Governor Spry
called attention to the fact it was the
desire of all members of the Board to
hear from anyone who could in any
way throw light on the case, or who
cared to make statement before the
Board. None came forward at the in
vitation.
Mr.. Christensen again was given the
floor, and told of his several attempts
to get Hillstrom to convey to him in
confidence the name of the woman
in the case" in quarrel about whom
Hillstrom claims he was shot The at
torney said he had failed to elicit this
Again the call was made for any
person who might care to be heard
before the Board of Pardons, and as
before there was no response. Gov
ernor Spry then made a statement in
which he told of the work of the ex-
ecutive department of the State Board
of Pardons to trace down every pos
sible clew which might throw light on
the Hillstrom case. They had found
nothing tangible, he said, and every
letter or telegram which had reached
the Governors Office tending to throw
any light on the case had been care
fully investigated Many kilograms
had been sent to officers in the cities
and State from whence these letters
and kilograms came, seeking verih-
cation and information. In every case
he said, nothing had come of their
efforts.
Justice J. f. Frick interrupted for a
moment and said that something re-
liable had been found 1t is the mat
ter of Hillstrom's record and we have
reliable information and facts as to
that; but it has no bearing on this
