of unlawful intimacy with the complain-
ing witness may have exerted himself to
be rid of trouble by putting the prisoner
out of the way. Considering all the facts
I am of the opinion that the safest dispo-
sition of the case is the release of the pris
oner, who has nearly served his term of
imprisonment.
Eeb. 8, 1894 Granted. I understand that this petitioner
has suffered the penalty to which the court
sentenced him for his offense. He has
promised compliance in the future with
the law against unlawful cohabitation and
other like offenses, and I believe the res-
toration to citizenship resulting from his
pardon is a judicious exercise of executive
clemency.

Sentence commuted to 1 year's actual im-
prisonment. Clemency is recommended
by the jury who convicted the prisoner,
by the judge who sentenced him, and by
the district attorney who prosecuted him.
Though I do not intend to interfere in
cases of this description, there are circum-
stances connected with this case which
cause me to believe. that a mitigation of
the prisoner's sentence is entirely consist-
ent with a strict, execution of the law
which punishes offenses committed in the
acquirement of public land.
There are two convictions and two sentences
against this prisoner. On the first con-
viction he was sentenced to an imprison-
ment of 1 year, commencing Feb. 23, 1893,
and on the other conviction, he was sen-
tenced to imprisonment for 2 months, be-
ginning at the termination of the first
sentence, and also to pay a fine. The first
term of imprisonment has quite or very
nearly expired. I can do no better than
to remit the fine imposed in both cases.
Let that be done.

Granted. This petitioner was convicted of
adultery in the Territory of Utah more
than 3 years ago and suffered punishment
therefor. He is represented as in all other
respects a law-abiding person, and this
pardon is granted for the purpose of re-
storing him to citizenship.

which his sentence is commuted will answer all the ends of justice in this particular case.

Granted upon the recommendation of the
district attorney who prosecuted the con
vict and upon the ground that in view of
his pledge to obey the law against adultery
in the future the imprisonment he has
already suffered is a sufficient and adequate
punishment for his offense.

Feb. 20, 1894 Granted, to take effect on the 8th day of
May, 1894. This convict pleaded guilty to
the crime of adultery. He will have been-
imprisoned 8 months when his pardon
becomes operative. In view of such pun-
ishment and his pledge to obey the law
against adultery in the future I believe
this act of clemency will answer all the
ends of justice.

Granted. The physician and superintend
ent of the prison where this convict is
confined report that he is in the last stage
of consumption and has but a very short
time to live. On this ground alone his
pardon is granted.-

Mar. 9, 1894 Upon further consideration and for the pur
pose of restoring this convict to all his
rights of citizenship I have determined to
grant the pardon asked for, to take effect
at the expiration of the prisoner's term of
imprisonment.

Unlawful cohabitation Dec. 14, 1893; 4 months in Mar. 12, 1894 Granted. The imprisonment already suf

fered by this convict is abundantly suffi-
cient, in my opinion, to subserve the ends
of justice and work desired reformation.
Granted. This convict has suffered the pun-
ishment to which he was sentenced, and
this pardon is granted for the purpose of
restoring him to his rights of citizenship.
The representations made to me satisfy
me that he is entitled to such clemency.
Granted. This convict was discharged from
prison in August, 1890, and since that
time has conducted himself in such a man-
ner as to demonstrate that his restoration
to citizenship would be a proper exercise
of executive clemency, and for the sole pur-
pose of such restoration this pardon is
granted.

Reason for the exercise of Executive clemency.

Granted. To take effect Mar. 22, 1894. The
provocation to the commission of the crime
of which this prisoner was convicted pre-
sents to my mind considerable mitigation
of his offense, though not a justification.
I am constrained to agree with the district
attorney who prosecuted the case that an
imprisonment for 60 days, which will be
the effect of this pardon, will answer the
ends of justice.

Granted for the purpose of restoring the
convict to citizenship. The sentence of
this applicant expired nearly 10 years ago,
and his conduct since his discharge from
prison seems to entitle him to such restora-
tion.
Apr. 2. 1894 Granted on condition. (See below.) In grant-
ing this pardon I feel that I am going to the
verge of a proper exercise of executive clem-
ency. The facts as they are presented to me,
however, give an opportunity to doubt the
existence of criminal intent; the district at-
torney who prosecuted the prisoner, and the
judge who sentenced him concur in the
opinion that the interests of justice will
not be jeopardized if a pardon is granted,
and I am moved by the distress of the
prisoner's parents. Inasmuch as it is con-
ceded that indulgence in drink was the
cause of the prisoner's fall, this pardon is
granted upon condition that he entirely
abstain from indulgence in intoxicating
beverages for the term of 5 years from the
date of pardon.

Granted. The representations made in be-
half of this prisoner incline me to the be-
lief that there was not in the transactions
making up the crime of which he was con-
victed that deliberate criminal intent
which usually characterizes such crimes.
I have seldom, if ever, had presented to
me a petition for pardon more persuasive
in substance and in number and standing
of those signing it, and in this the judge
and district attorney who officiated at
