The pardon board, consisting of Governor Gooding, Secretary of State Lansdon and Attorney General Gu hen, met in regular session to day and took up the Orchard case. Frank Wyman, appointed by the court to represent Orchard, appeared before the board and presented a formal argument In behalf of his client, basing his plea solely on the leiml KtntUH of the case and mnin- Horse taining, as held by Judge Wood in A DEFICIT Of .,n.vi,.ini.
