M> - i | Claln in a statement made last nigh*; J before the State Board of Pardonr, 1 | declared that the tribunul would not I I be intlueneed by floods of letters or | attempts to sway itp Judgment. The I board had sat for two hours and a half listening to arguments in behalf !of a new hearing for Henry Ward Mottern and Ernest Haines, the Jef ferson county youths refused clemency I last month. The hearing was on an 1 application for a new hearing but the board gave the widest latitude and the cases were virtually reargued. As a matter of fact except In the Perining ton and March cases the board has seldom gone to such pains to get all of the information possible. The ar gument was that Mottern was of un sound mind and that Haines was not guilty and was convicted on Mottern's testimony. The deflate took a wide i range and members of the board, not i ably Attorney General Brown and Sec ! retary Woods time and again asked lawyers to present new arguments or show how they could help without | transcending the law. ; When the board closed Mr. McClaln i held up a bundle of letters and said | that they were part of what he had I received as a result of the campaign | waged for the two applicants. "Some \ are applicatory, some advisory, some | impertinent and some intimidating," j said he, "but the general tenor is pro ! test and one would think that some 1 people had the idea that trial by jury has been abolished and trial by indi j vidual substituted." Mr. McClaln said 1 that if the people wanted to abolish j capital punishment the Legislature I should do it. Until that time, said he, no letters or such literature as he held would influence him or, he added, con cern him. The board decisions were as follows:- Recommended —Ralph Petrilli, Lu- I zerne, larceny; Alphonse Zamarclli.
