GOVERNOR iNTiMAres NE
FAvoRs FULL FREE DOM
Seeber, Whose Mlsappropriatlon Of
Funds Wrecked Bank and Caused
Losses to Stockholders, Under
Parole and Suffering no hard'
shlps-kow Asking Pardon.

Davenport, Feb. LIS William l.
Harding. governor Of Iowa de-
termined TO launch another political
sensation equal in interest at least to
the Rathbun case which convulsed
the state something like a year ago
In a communication received yes
terday the Iowa executive intimates
that he proposes to grant full par
don to Artemus l.. Seeber, bank
wrecker and embezzler.
The communication 10 directed TO
Henry II. Jebens, state prosecutor
who convicted Seeber.
Among those who II In alleged In
a letter are favorable to q full par
don Is Judge A. P. Barker OF the
district court. who paroled Seeber
after he had been convicted by a
trial Jury OF appropriating thou
sands of dollars of the North Amert-
can Harrison Trust and Savings
Bank. Thousands OF dollars which
had been spirited from the bank
could not be traced 10 the person
against whom suspicion pointed its
menacing finger.
Governor Harding is apparently
favorable to the full pardon Of the
man who is out on parole and suffer-
ing no hardship by reason Of his pa
role. There are citizens in Daven-
port who believe that the man who
forced the bank into the hands OF
receiver and compelled a reorganiza-
ton of the institution should be In
prison
Seeber got away with thousands
of dollars. Patrons Of the bank are
still smarting under the effects OF
the crime by which the earnings OF
NE time were swept away. One OF
the conditions under which Seeoer
gained a parole was that he should
make his defalcations good.
