ANOTHER STAY FOR
HOWARD SHOWALTER
INDICATES PARDON
MarShaI's Office Notified Stay
Is Granted. .

Fairmont, w. Va, March 16.-The
nited States Marshal's office here
has been informed that another
stay of 80 days has been issued in
the case of Howard w. Showalter,
the local coal operator and former
banker. who was convicted in 1917
of violatin the national banking
act. Since the United States SUI
preme court failed to come to the
assistance of Mr.. Showalter, Presi-
dent Wilson has given him three
respites of 80 days each for the
purpose OF fully considering his APP
plication for pardon. The fourth
stay to be issued yesterday. will
make 100 days that the pardon ap.
plication has been pending.
1t is generally believed here By
Mr.. Showalter's friends that he will
eventually get a pardon. because II
is the understanding that Attorney
General Palmer. who acts for the
president in matters of this kind,
has taken kindly to Mr.. Showalter' s
claim that the count in the indict.
ment On which he was found guilty
did not cover the transaction, and
that as a matter OF fact. he was not
guilty OF crime, but his offense, II
there was any offense, was
more in the nature OF
loose banking and making excessive
loans This, however. is In the face
Of two decisions in the United
States circuit court of appeals and
one in the supreme court OF the
United States which were all nm
favorable TO Showalter, and which
upheld the verdict of the trial court
1t is understood here tina power
ful influence have been brought
forward in behalf OF Showalter, and
that well.known eastern banker
have represented to the attorney
general that the old First Nationa
Bank transactions. upon which the
governments case was based. werl
not criminal. The application for &
pardon has been opposed by tht
