Asks for Pardon

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 6.-Fred
Coleman, defaulting deputy state
treasurer, who confessed to the
embezzlement of $4,000 state
funds, will appear in person be-
for the state board of pardOns
to morrow to plead for a full par
don. Hiss application was filed
with the board which went into
session today. Statewide inter
est centers in the Coleman case.
AS there are but three members
of the board and one of them,
Secretary of State Barker, is gone,
it is not likely that definite ac-
ton will be taken on Coleman's
application.
There were over fifty applica-
tions before the board. OF this
number less than seven are from
prisoners serving life or lone
term sentences for murder in the
first or second degree.
