Men and Women Of Note in Criminal
News File Appeals.

NNSNN9 ' ~
In the 300 appeals for clemency
that will be considered by the Court
of Pardons at the March term are
those of 23 men convicted of murder,
seven convicted of m~anslaughter and
many others of prisoners to whom
is attached great public interest. In
the latter class is the case of Patrick
Quinlan, the l. w. w. leader, who
is serving a term of from two to
seven years for melting to riot during
a Paterson silk strike. The minimum
term of Quinlan's sentence will ex-
pire February 8, 1917, but he asks
an immediate release.
Another case is that of Anna Valen-
tina, of Bergen county, convicted or
murder in the first degree for killing
a woman who tainted her by threaten
ing to break up her home. More than
100, 900 signatures were attached to
petitions for clemency for her. There
was a long fight in the courts, all
legal remedies were exhausted and
the Governors power to reprieve had
passed, when, on May II, 1916, the
Court of Pardons committed the death
sentence to one of life imprisonment.
Her mind has been affected by her
long Incarceration and an old friend
stands ready to take cars Of the wo-
man for life in the event of a parole
or pardon being granted.
Another applicant is William G.
Armstrong, convicted of conspiracy in
connection with the wrecking of the
Roseville Trust Company, and sem
fenced to one year in the Essex PEN
itentiary. His term will expire De-
cember 18, but he was of great aid
to the State in bringing others of
the bank wreckers to justice, and
this may be an inducement for Gle
mency.
The Court will pass upon the petit
ton of William Allen, of Passaic, do
ing 80 years for murder. He has
been in prison since 1900 and the
fact that he turned States evidence
in the trial of John Shepherd, who
was hanged, may lead the Court to
free him.
