INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 10
Among the new cases that will come
before the state board at this meet
ing is one in which MOminick LapicO,
an Italian. sentenced from st. Jo-
seph county, in October, 1913, to
the Indiana reformatory for a term
OF from two TO p years for man
slaughter. seeks clemency. Lapico's
petition to the board contends that
another Italian actually did the
shooting, which resulted in the death
of Joseph Staltere. The petition says
Staltere and LapicO were bOyhood
playmates in Italy. but they always
fought and fused" In several
moves of Lapico from and to South
Bend and Indianapolis, Staltere fol-
lowed him, Lapico said. In a row,
following a card game at South
Bend. Staltere was killed, the petit
ton says and il contends Lapico was
not directly to blame.
Unusual Case.
In 1906, when the present city Of
Gary was a wilderness of sand
dunes and boys" Thomas Hanan
was employed by James West. for
merly city clerk of Whiting. Ind, as
a Waterman at a construction camp
on the present site of Gary. The
men in the construction camp were
building streets for the then pro-
posed city of Gary. Hanan went to
Tolleston through the sand dunes
and Dogs and was returning 10 the
construction camp, when a dog ran
out from a clump of bushes and
began to make friends with Hanan.
ITO 90 to Tolleston it was neces-
sary to meander over sand dunes
and around the sloughs and through
a wild country-there was no police
protection and, in fact, in that neigh
borhood il was wilder than the from
tier of the west in an early day;
desperate men and buns of every
grades and condition were there; it
was an unsafe place 10 be alone and
unattended" says a report of the
case. in which Hanan is asking the
state board of pardons TO recommend
his release from prison for murder
now.
AS Hanan was petting the dog,
"Out from under one Of the bushes
came the sound of a human voice
and in sight a man raised up that
at that time your petition did not
know, but he now knows it was Jack
Landon, or Cabbage Jack; that said
Landon started to curse and swear
at your petition and started TO
some towards your petitioner and
our petitioner pulled out the re-
volver he had in his pocket which
was used by him as such Waterman
and shot said Landon and killed
him"
Hanan admitted in the petition
that he had imbibed freely of liquor
at TOlleston and was intoxicated.
The state board of pardons heard
Hanan's case in 1913. but on recon-
mendation of the trial Judge, al
though the board was favorable to
granting clemency the board init
mated that Hanan had better re-
main in prison for 10 years Of his
term. The case has just been re-
opened before the board ana will be
heard when the board meets, Sept.
25-2S, inclusive.
