So one Dubuque woman Will testify,
also one Dubuque man.
Yesterday afternoon a we'll known
Dubuquer was walking over the high

upon Dubuque woman apparently In
distress. She had been wheeling her
baby carriage and one of>the wheels
had come off. The man kindly offered
to'aid her in putting it back on. The
woman accepted the offer and the man
set to work. Just as he had 1t about
fixed, gust of wind blew off the robe

his horror saw perfectly good
eighth OF beer reposing more quietly
than baby ever did lay. The woman
thanked him between bushes and con-

Declares Husband Does Not Want
Parole But Absolute Pardon-Boess
Has Served One Year in Reforn,atcry

Waterloo, Jan. 2S.-Members of the
state board of parole have been re-
,quested to issue a pardon for E. A.
Boggs, tried four years ago for en-
bezzlement from the Farmers bank at
Morrison. Attorneys representing
them a sworn statement made by E..
H. Reimers, a former cashier of the
Morrison bank. In this affidavit Mr..
Reimers repudiates much of what he
testified to during the trial at Grundy
Center and strong hope is held out by
friends Of Boggs that this statement
will be the last>, thing necessary to
prove his innocence and secure his
freedom from the Anamosa reforma
tory where he has been confined for
more than a year.
While Mr.. Reimers admits perjury
in the trial at Grundy Center" saic
Mrs. E. A. Boggs, neither my husband
nor desire him punished. All want
Is the innocence of Mr.. BOggs estab-
lished. When he was sent away both
he and knew that he was innocent.
Now that we have the necessary proof

nocent."
The statement that application had
been made to the state board that Mr..
Boggs be released on parole is de-
clared misleading by Mrs. Boggs.
Hope to Establish Innocence.
I'VE are applying for pardon not a
PAROLE she said in speaking of this
feature. The great change made upon
the case by the Reimers' confession
is said to have made the attorneys rep.

efforts will be successful. Some time
ago when application was made to the
board for a pardon the judge who
tried the case is reported to have been
willing to recommend clemency but the
county attorney of Grundy county Nlc
was a member of legal firm retained
by the Morrison bank and prosecuted
the case, also had to add his signature
to the pardon request before it would
be considered. No attempt was made
to secure his cooperation for the rea-
son that he had but short time before
just concluded the prosecution.
Announcement of the report of the
board of parole in regard to the par
don application Of E. A. Boggs is ex-
pected within the next few weeks. The
board over year ago secured all data
then available on this famous case.
