DAUGHTER WINS
PARDON FOR
]. N. M'PEEK
Her Testimony Regarded as Re.
sp0nsible For Conviction
Originally
NEsTOs PROSECUTED
Two Letters to Tribune Reveal
Action of State Board of
Pard0ns

Illness of the convict himself, and
illness Of his daughter won q pardon
for J. M. McPeek. at the December
meeting Of the North Dakota board OF
pardons according to information from
the daughter and mother which came
to the Tribune office this morning.
McPeek was sentenced from Ward
county in 1913 for the murder Of his
wife. The testimony of the daughter
is regarded by many as the evidence
that sealed his fate. r. A. Nestos, now
governor, was the prosecuting attor-
ney, The fact that the pardon had been
granted was confirmed at the peniten-
tiary.
Bits of sentiment and Of indifference
to the common usages of life seem to
be mixed in the life Of McPeek. Con-
victed Of murder, he early was able to
secure parole, an act which brought
about a tempest in North Dakota po-
litical circles. Careless Of parole re-
strictions, he was returned to the pen
itentiary and from there he has
watched over his. daughter, cared for
her in her education, until the letter
in which she extends her thanks to
Governor Nestos is in handwriting
that might be envied by many lady
of the land. Now that the health OF
the daughter demands a less rigorous
climate than North Dakota, he has won
his freedom, that the needs OF the
child may be met.
The letters, which disclosed that the
pardon had been granted at the De-
cember meeting Of the Parole Board
were inclosed in one envelope, and
while the letter of the daughter de-
sired to correct, in her opinion, a story
printed at the time of the parole board
meeting, both expressed appreciation.

ceding to the pardon of their father
