PACT ON LIGHT
SENTENCE FOR
MOORE DENIED
Remy in Statement When
Jackson CommuteS Term
of Ex-CounciIman.

Prosecutors today denied they
promised a light sentence to ex-
City Councilman Boynton ]. Moore,
whose two to fourteen-year SEN
tence for bribery was commuted
Monday by Governor Jackson.
Moore's chief contention in his
petition for clemency was that
Prosecutor William H. Remy Ne
elected to live up to an agreement
by which Moore was to receive the
same treatment as five other coun-
cllmen who were permitted to plead
guilty to misdemeanor charges, and
escape prison with $100 fines.
Remy denied the existence of
such an agreement, as did Special
Assistant Prosecutor Emsley w.
Johnson.
Moore's fine of $500 and costs and
two to fourteen years in prison was
commuted by Governor jackson to
500 fine.
Jury Members Sign Petition
Three letters recommending elem
ency accompanied the petition. They
were signed by five county officials,
by six members of the Marion
County grand jury, and by four
members of the jury which found
Moore guilty in less than ten min
utes deliberation.
Maintaining his innocence with
the vehemence that marked his
trial, Moore paid the 500 fine and
costs, the total amounting to S136,
in Marion Criminal Court Monday.
Moore'S petition claims Remy
made promises of immunity in re-
turn for information which would
incriminate other councilmen, then
under indictment, which informa-
ton Moore claims he did not
possess.
One of the letters claims it was
the understanding of the Signers
that Moore was to get such treat
ment as that accorded the five other
councilmen.
Sheriff Asks CIemency
This letter is signed by County
Clerk George o. Hutsell, Sheriff
Omer Hawkins, Auditor Harry
Dunn, Treasurer Clyde G. Robin
son, Assessor James W. Elder and
these members Of the jruy which
found Moore guilty: Harry Wenik,
A Chevrolet, Henry Windhorst and
Earl Blessing.
A similar statement is made in
the letter signed by grand jurors
who expressed surprise that this
consideration and agreement has
not been carried out"
Grand jurors who signed the
letter are: Foreman E. j. Gausepohl,
James E. Fischer, George S. Cott-
man, John L. Ellenberger, James w.
Haworth and Harry E. Cross.

WET PLANK DEMANDED
IN PLATFORM BY Ware

Passed as wartime measure, the
law and its enforcement have been
the outstanding controversial sub
ject before the American public in
recent years. The growing tendency
is for greater personal liberty.
I'VE recognize the demand for
liberalization of the present restric-
tive law carrying into effect the pro-
visions of the Eighteenth amend
ment and believe that modification
permitting the sale of light wines
and beer will do much to re-
establish law and order"

proceeded carefully.

with the keynote speech, came to
the platform during Buffers talk
and returned to his seat. Secretary

to the platform. accompanied by
Mrs. Leona Knight Of Rhode Island
daughter of Senator Curtis of Kan
SaS.
Mrs. Knight, a beautiful woman,
showed in her olive skin the Indian
blood of her forebears. She smiled
pleasantly. Fess was greeted by
Butler, who placed his arm affec-
tionately on Fess.
It was only memeht before Fess
started speaking.
He did not read fro mmanuscript
one of the few keynoters to dis
pense with this. He took off his
horn-rimmed glasses and only now
and again referred to the notes in
his hand.
