the pardoning Of a man convicted of

One Of the interesting features Of the
case IL the similarity between ths cam

campaign that was carried on by Indi-
ana Democratic politicians to get a par

OF offense that Perrott was convicted of.
From present indications, the Per

luck that the fellows did who went
there in behalf Of Roberts.
The first man TO arrive IN Washington
to work for Perrott was Harry Bassett.

that was placed against Perrott. Bas-
sett looked over the ground to get the
