others, reciting that at various times

made statements, and they conflict

the trial. These affidavits were pre-
pared by counsel representing the de-
PENDANTS. We had no opportunity to
answer them and. in fact / consider
such matters Of very little value. IS
it il well known that papers of this
kind are usually signed after being
prepared by attorneys and very lit
tie attention is paid to the contents
Of same. However. all of these facts
were called to the attention of the
board and they were fully advised as
TO the character Of the parties maxi
ing them. / presented the case very
fully to the board. Judge Bullock
filed telegram with the board at the
request Of the governor. the sub
stance of which was that it was q very
brutal assassination and the only
question at the trial was the matter
Of Identification, which the jurors
passed on and which he declined to
interfere with.
Mr.. Palmer filed with the board q
petition purporting to be signed by
ten members of the first jury VINO
tried the case, in which there was a
Tnistrial, and nine members of the
jury rendering the verdict of guilty.
I heard nothing more from the
case, and have never been advised Of
ficially as to what action the board
took, but of course / understand that
they have been granted conditional
pardon. have a letter from Mr..
Ernest Amos who is member of the
board, advising me that conditional
pardon was granted Lowman and
Braswell, but that he and Attorney
General Swearingen voted against
same. You are no doubt aware of
the fact that the state board of par
dons is composed of the governor. the
attorney general, secretary of state,
comptroller and commissioner of ag-
riculture. Three members of the
board, one of whom must be the gov
ernor, are required to vote IN the af-
firmative before pardon can be
granted.
/ am giving this information as a
public official. / don't desire to get
into any newspaper controversy. and
would prefer that you do not use my
name; but. If at any time it is neces-
sary for you to do SO, will be glad
TO release you. think the public
should have the facts. This was a
very brutal assassination. and these
men were guilty beyond any question,
and for the state board of pardons to
set aside what all the courts have
done at great expense to the people
of Florida is. to my mind, great
outrage, and which the people have a
perfect right to condemn. feel that
the name of Florida has been soiled,
as well as the county of fernando.
