RELEASE OF RED
DONAHUE URGED
BY ANDREASEN
Douglas County Adult Proba.
tion Officer Recommended
Paraon Of Omaha Man
Sentenced for Assault.

M. Andreasen, adult probation of
6cer of Douglas county, admitted
yesterday that he recommended
James c. ("Red"l Donahue to Gov
ernor for pardon. The pardon wa.
granted March 4, after Donahue hac
served less than three weeks, of {
60-day sentence for assault and bat
terry. He was tried by jury fol
assault with intent to commit q
statutory offense against Marie
Honach at Seventicth annd Center
streets the night of August II, 1919
The jury returned the verdict of as.
sault and battery.
REV. Father Slime asked me to
recommend Donahue for pardon,
said Andreasen yesterday.
"Why have you failed to mention
the matter to the county attorneys
offlce?" he was asked.
"Oh, | didn't think it was neces-
sary," said Andreasen. "Donahue's
people are nice"
Coffey Surprised.
News of the pardon reached Chief
Deputy County Attorney Coffey by
chance remark of friend We'd
nesday night, who said Il see Red
Donahue is out again" ...-
mot that / know Of" said Mr.
Coffey.. You must be mistaken"
Yesterday morning Mr.. Coffey in
vestigated and was astonished to
find that Donahue had been granted
pardon by the governor on
March 4.
II spent three days of my time
and that of a jury and district judge
in securing the conviction of this
man." said Mr.. Coffey. "And now
/ find that Governor McKelvie has
pardoned him without even consult
ing this office. I'd think the Kirk
case would have had more effect"
Shotwell Is Indignant.
"What" exclaimed County Attor-
ney Shotwell when Mr.. Coffey told
him of the governors action. you
don't mean it! And without con-
sulting or getting a recommendation
from this office. I never head of
such a thing. What good does it
do to use the time and money and
effort of the officers of this county
II Governor McKelvie pardons Grim
inals as soon as we get them con-
victed? It's disgusting"
Donahue was bound over from
police court under $4,000 bond.
The jury which heard the case re-
turned a verdict of assault and bat
terry February II, and Judge Troup
sentenced Donahue to 90 days in
the county Jail February 10.
McKelvie Explains Stand.
When informed of the comments
offered by the county attorney and
his deputy with regard to the par.
don, Governor McKelvie stated yes
terday:
"In those matters, we have always
depended upon the recommendation
of the probation officer. We have
yrantcd a number of paroles and
,ardons upon these recommenda-
fions and have always been assured
of sound judgment in them.
I'm the recommendation for Dom
ahue, it was pointed out that he had
been sentenced to 90 days, 80 of
which he had then served 1t was
his first offense, and in view of his
army record, the fact that he has a
wife and mother living in Omaha
with him, it was urged that half
sentence should be sufficient punish
ment. ~.
"Donahue's pardon was issued on
the strength of this recommenda-
tion."
