Afternoon Session

Hon. Merritt A. Johnson of Rockland
appeared in behalf of the pardon OF
Mrs. Grace E. Royce, formerly of Au-
gusta, who is serving a term of 20
years in the States prison at Thomas
ton for manslaughter in causing the
death of her infant son, at the after
noon session of the Governor and
Council. Mrs. Royce was indicted for
murder, but was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to 20 years in
the States prison by Associate JUS
tice Albert M. Spear of Gardiner.
IF Mrs. Royce was guilty of any
thing she was guilty of murder" said
Attorney Johnson. IF she had con-
templated murder why did she make
arrangements for getting a physician
and baby's clothes. l believe that there
was an opportunity for some one else
to commit this crime"
Attorney Johnson read letter from
Albert P. Head. NJ. D.. the physician
at the States prison. in which he said
that for the past two years he had
attended Mrs. Royce and during that
time she had suffered from poor
health. DR.. Head had made a recent
examination and he declared that the
symptoms of incipient cancer had
grown worse in the past few weeks
and he urged an immediate surgical
operation.
II believe that Mrs. Royce is wrong
fully detained in the States prison."
declared Attorney Johnson. "She
didn't have any motive and the care
that she took of her other children
shows that she was a good mother.
Some person beside her husband was
the father of her child and l believe
that that person had something to do
with the crime"
Attorney Johnson read a letter from
William j. Bradbury of Fairfield, for
mer member of the board of prison
don.
No opposition appeared to the grant,
ing of the pardon and the matter was
tabled for executive session.
The Paradis Case
Hon. Alton c. Wheeler of South
Paris appeared for the pardon of Mrs,
Grace Frost Paradis, of Rumford, who
is serving a sentence of IL months in
the oxford county Jail at South Paris,
having been convicted at the Octo-
Der term in 1916.
Attorney Wheeler argued that al
though Mrs. Paradis was a married
woman, she was under the complete
influence of a man named LaPlante.
who was convicted with Mrs. Paradis.
and who was sentenced to serve II
months in the States prison at Thorn
aston. Mrs. Paradis is only 10 years
of age and he did not think that the
South Paris Jail was just the right
place for this young woman.
Attorney Wheeler said that the wo-
man was suffering from tuberculosis
and La Plante had said that if he
found out that she went with any other
man but him he would fill her full of
lead"
