PARDON REFUSED.—As announced in
the WATCHMAN last week the case of Ira
Green and William Dillen, the two men
now under sentence of death in the Centre
county jail for the murder of turn-key
Jerry Condo, was taken before the board of
pardons, on Wednesday of this week. Ex-
Judge A. O. Farst and Henry C. Quigley
appeared in the interest of the condemned
men, while the Commonwealth was repre-
sented by District Attorney W. G. Runkle
and E. R. Chambers.
The case was called second on the list for
argument. Mr. Furst asked for a continna-
tion of the case for one month on the
grounds that he was not physically able to
properly present the facts and argument to
the pardon board, but after a brief consul-
tation in executive session the board re-
fused to grant a continuance and declared
that the case should be heard at once.
Judge Furst then proceeded with his argu-
ment, speaking for almost one hour. E.
R. Chambers spoke briefly on behalf of the
Commonwealth. And after taking all the
facts into consideration the board of par-
dons decided that they could not interfere
with the mandate of the law, as already
laid down, and refused to grant either a
pardon, commutation of sentence or even a
respite, so that the last hope for Green and
Dillen is gone and they will bave to hang
on Tuesday, May 9th, unless some mirac-
ulous providence intervenes.
In addition to a complete history of the
case, all the evidence adduced at the trial,
eto., counsel for Green and Dillen pre-
sented to the pardon board the following
reasons on which they based their applica-
tion for a pardon or commutation of the
death sentence to life imprisonment :

INDICTMENT, MURDER,

—
To the Honorable: ——
William M. Brown, Lieutenant Governor;
Frank M. Fuller, Secretary of the Common-
wealth; ‘
Hampton L. Carson, Attorney General, and
Isaac B. Brown Secretary of Internal Affairs,
constituting the Board of Pardons for the Com-
monwealth of Pennsylvania:
The defendants above named, Ira Green and
William Dillen, respectfully apply to your Hon-
orable Board for pardon or commutation of the
sentence of death to imprisonment for life, and
herewith submit and file the following reasons
sustaining said application:
First: The trial of the case in the court below
was had on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the
26th, 27th and 28th days of August, 1904, within a
month after the death of Jeremiah Condo, when
the public mind was highly inflamed and public
excitement almost to the extent of lynchin
existed in the community, so that no fair an
impartial trial could be then had. The facts in
relation thereto appear in the accompanying his.
tore of the case.
Second: Twoof the jurors empaneled in the
said cause, viz: C. L. Gramley and George Gar-
brick, had expressed opinions hostile to the de-
fendants which disqualified them for serving
upon the jury, but which opinions were not
known to the defendants mor to their counsel
until after the trial. ‘Ihe opinions so entertained
by the said jurors were of such a character as to
disqualify them absolutely from sitting as jurors
in the cause.
Third: George Garbrick, one of the jurors em-
puneled in the cause, within two or three days
prior to the sitting of the court, at
August sessions, 1904, had declared in the pres.
ence of three witnesses that your petitioners
were guilty of murder in the first degree; ‘“That
hanging was too good for them, and they should
be burned at the stake like the ‘niggers’ in the
south.” These facts were unknown to your
Jotitioner, or their counsel until after the trial.
hat the said George Garbrick not only had
formed and expressed his opinion of the guilt of
Jour petitioners, but had declared his prejudice
n such'a manner as rendered him incompetent
to sit asa juror in the cause.
Fourth: That the evidence of previous]
formed opinions of the said jurors, and the prej-
udice of one of them, is shown by the sworn
testimony in the cause herewith exhibited to
your Honorable Board by numerous witnesses,
viz: Dr. C. A. VanValin, appellant's a pendix,
Pus 142, ete.; Charles Schad, page 152; Mrs. Isaac
'homas, page 158; Mrs. Wm. Thomas page 162;
Miss Lulu Thomas, page 164; Clement Dale oy
pase 167; J. Thomas Mitchell, page 172; Clyde
oover, page 183; J. A. B. Miller, page 186; H. C.
Quigley, page 191; Harry Dukeman, e 199;
Samuel Decker, page 202, and Daniel Woodring,
Page 204.
Fifth: That your applicants for pardon or com-
mutation did unfortunately and unintentionally
the evening of the 29th ay of July, 1904, w
fact they have never denied, but they n
tempt to escape from the jail of Centre county on

\ is unwarranted and
not sustained by the evidence in the cause.
Beventh: That six of the jurors smpatieleq in
the cause, from the time they were charged b:
! urt on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'eloc
until Sunday morning stood firmly for a convic-
tion of murder in the second degree; that one of
the said six jurors, viz: J. H. Sands, became
suddenly sick duing the night; that during all
that time the two jurors aforesaid, viz: C. L.
Gramley and George Garbrick, insisted upon a

resistency, was compelled to yield, and

mendable, Democrats of the true blue stripe.
—Mrs. A. S. Boalich, of Osceola, with her
niece Mrs. M. B. Yengst, of Wilmerding, have
been visiting friends in this vicinity for the past
week or more. They came over last week and
made their first stop witih Mrs. Rote at Axe Mann.
On Mon day they came into Bellefente to spend a
few days with Mrs. Boalich's sister and other
relatives in this place.
—James Furst, who spent the past eight
months at Los Angeles, Cal, was an arrival
home, on Monday, looking as chipper as can be.
Jim says that California is all right for the na-
tives but he prefers to live in good old Penn"
sylvania, and strange as it may appear, he got
home just at the opening of the trout fishing
season, though that was likely merely a. eoin-
cidence. \
—A stranger indeed in Bellefonte was Ed.
Kabello, who came down from Altoona on Tues
day, with his wife, to attend the funeral of their.
cousin, Mrs, Flack. Ithad been fourteen years
since his last visit and from all appe ces. ‘he.
doesn’t look a minute older than he was: then.
The Kabello boys—Ode, Joe, and Ed—were a trio
to conjure with when they lived in Bellefonte.
They were the sons of Henry Kabello, who lo-
cated here in 1847 and operated a small iron
foundry. When the panic left them on the
rocks of financial distress the boys sf 3 out
with little more than their good name"
willingness to work and today everyone of i }
is occupying good positions. Ed is one of the
foremen in the Juniata erecting shops and a
common councilman of the city of Altoona.

usual number of callers; strangers and residents
of Bellefonte who found time to drop in for a
few moments chat and among them none were
more welcome than Jared Harper, who doesn’t
look a bit as if the cares of running a
store again after years of retirement from busi-
ness were bearing heavily on him. Ammon
Karstetter, of Pleasant Gap, was here,
too, very much of a stranger even though
he does live only five miles away, buf
his work being in distant parts of the
State he isn’t home as much as he would like to
be. Mr. H. C. Holter, of Howard, was among
them and we are sorry that we haven’t the space
to tell you here how the dear Republican or-
ganization of the county has treated this par-
ticular old soldier. .
