TWO INNOCENT
People MAY BE
in PRISON HERE
Documents From Philippines
May Lead to Pardon or New /
Trial; Had Another Wife

If documents which recently ar
rived here in letter from the Philip
pines prove to be authentic, the case
of Malicio Pacaro and Benigna Dago-
man, who are now serving sentence in
Oahu prison, may be reopened, District
Attorney Horace w. Vaughan said to-
day.
Malicio was convicted of a statu-
tory offense, while Benigna was sent
to prison for bigamy. The complain.
ant was Pasqual Dagoman, who al
legged that his wife, fBenigna, had run
off with and married Malicio without
having first secured divorce.
According to the attorney for the
defendants, the letter which has been
received shows that when Pasqual
married Benigna the marriage was H.
legal, therefore making the latter's
marriage with Malicio a legal one,
and not holding Benigna open to hav.
ing committed bigamy.
"If the attorney for the defendants
can convince me that the documents
in the letter are authentic, shall
be glad to reopen the case, and either
have the sentence set aside or have
the man and woman pardoned," says
District Attorney Vaughan.
