FRIENDS TO ASK PARDON
William S. Lelb, former Republi
can leader and County Commissioner In
Schuylkill County and former resident
clerk of the IIouse of Representatives
at Herrlsburg, yesterday again lest his
nnnen.1 te the Supreme Court of Penn
sylvania from his conviction and sen
tence for forging tax receipts.
The Court disposed of Letb's techni
cal ohleetlnnn in iitilmm fashion. Lelb.
through his attorneys, contended that
his sentence waa Illegal because it did
net contain the words "by labor, at
scparate and solitary confinement."
Lelb's attorneys pointed out that
these words are Included In the Act of
Mnrch 31, 1800, which prescribes the
maximum sentence for forgery.
In meeting this objection the Supreme
Court merely made an order that the
sentence b amended tev adding the
words, "at separate anfl solitary con
finement." This latcs court decision
Is final, leaving no ground for further
appeal.
If anythln. Lelb is new worse off
than before. It has been said he has
had the run of the Eastern Penitentiary
at nil hours of the day and that he was
responsible for Schuylkill County's
swfng te Gilferd Plnchet at the primary
election. Warden McKenty denied that,
however, saying Lelb did net have un
usual privileges.
Reports last night from Pettsvllle,
county seat of Schuylkill, were that
Lelb Is far from being a "bentcn" man.
Ills friends, it was said, will new ask
for a pardon. Lelb has been notified
that a petition containing the names of
85,000 Schuylkill County citizen wlU
be get up for him If he consents.
Lelb was convicted en December B,
1010, before former Judge Albert W.
Jehnsen of Lewlsburg, Union County,
then substituting in the Quarter Ses
siens Court In this city, of forging a
duplicate State tax receipt te the preju
dice of Merchant Evans Company. He
was Fcntcnccd April 10, 1020. lie pre
viously had maile full restitution of
S5171.70 which covered the amount of
the forged tax receipt.
