PLEA Of MOTHER
WINS PRESIDENT
Aged Woman Who Walked From
South Dakota Expects
Son to Be Freed
SENTENCED AS DESERTER

Washington, Jan. 20.-The prayers
Of an aged mother for her errant
soldier son fell on sympathetic ears at
the White House yesterday, and Mrs.
Margaret Anderson, the sixty three
year -old mother. who made her way
largely afoot from Sioux Falls, s. d.,
to Washington, left the White House
strong with hopes that her son would
soon be restored to her.
After seeing the President yesterday
Mrs. Anderson declared that now she
was sure help would speedily come for
her son, Joseph, who is serving a two
year sentence at Leavenworth on a
charge of desertion from the army.
The boy, private in Company *,
Thirty ninth Infantry of the Thirty
fifth Division, was wounded and gassed
at the Argonne. After his return from
abroad he received a furlough but failed
to return to his regiment. He then
enlisted in coast artillery unit under
a different name. which constitutes de-
sertion under military law.
Mrs. Anderson, as she was being
taken by White House messenger, at
the order of the President, to consult
pardon attorneys at the Department Of
Justice, declared that her visit had not
been in vain, that she had not tramped
many weary miles through snowy roads
for nothing and that everything is all
right and ] am happy now
II am sure the President will not
disappoint me-" Mrs. Anderson said.
And l am going back to Fort Leaven-
worth to wait at the gate.
when | went to the White House /
did not expect to see the President, but
was ushered right into his Office. and
when l found myself before President
Hdrding I was nearly paralyzed."
Mrs. Anderson said she would not
walk back.
