EARL STEEN AND 20 OTHERS
GRANTED pARn0Ng

The state board OF pardons got on @
regular clemency jambouree last week
and pardoned twenty-four state prison
ers, reduced the sentence OF twelve
and continued twelve cases. Sixteen
of those who applied for pardon were
refused.
Among those who received pardons
was Earl Steen, the Sites butcher,
who with Jim Miller OF the same place
was convicted of the larceny Of a
bunch of horses two years ago, and
sentenced by Judge Steele to from six
to fourteen years. Miller was pardoned
last May and Stems release has been
fixed for September "a, which win
limit his total confinement for the
offense committed to two years. Steen
was an old offender and the officers
were on his trail for a number OF years
before they could get sufficient evil
dence to convict him, several different
sheriffs taking a turn at him. 1t cost
the county considerable money to make
this conviction. But what is the use.

Judgment over the acts of competent
district judges and sheriffs with full
and unrestricted power to nullify their

Frank Hye who killed his wife and
Kennedy at Elk City, also had in an
application for pardon. His applica-
ton was not dismissed but was con-
tinued for further consideration by the
board.
