 Judge Seabury said he regarded the parole as d continuation of the sentence. He made the rccommen- datons for the six although two of them had violated their paroles. The six women are Rose Manga naro, Marjic Wharton. Mary Myers, Marie Costello, Betty smith and Gcuovena Gonzales.
 Governor Asked Probe The recommendations were made following q request to Judge Seabury by Governor Roosevelt early this month while he was at Warm Springs, Ga.

 The governor asked the judge to study the leases Of women who have already been convicted and sentenced under similar conditions | of frameup," He said Something should be done immediately to de i termine whether if these charges are found to b. In any way true these women previously convicted should i have their cases reopcned or brought ] before the governor with recom- 1nendation6 for executive clemency.' | Governor Roosevelt advised the judge to confer with District Attor- ney Grain
 Judgc Scabury replied: Tn my | judgment, the granting of executive 1 clemency in those specific eases
