FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1928 DEATH CHEATS «* NORTH DAKOTA MAN'S FRIENDS Federal Pardon Plea Denial Ar- rives Simultaneously With Death Note Fargo, N. D., Dec. 14.—(AP)— Death has cheated the federal gov- ernment and a group of North Da- kotans who made a plea to the fed- al board for William H. Wright’s ‘reedom following his plea of guilty to embezzling $600 in federal funds while deputy custom collector at 4, Northgate, N. D. # Seth Richardson, Fargo, United States federal district attorney, re- ceived two letters yesterday. The first was from the federal pardon board, denying a plea which had been made in his behalf by residents of Northgate and which had Richard- son’s support. The second letter was from the state’s attorney at Bowbells, inform- ing Richardson that Wright had died a few days ago as t > result of com- plications following an appendicitis operation. When arraigned in fed- eral court in Minot last month Wright readily admitted that he withheld funds collected as duties of grain imports into the United States while he was in the customs service at Northgate. He gave no explana- tion for his pte) however. Friends in Northgate and vicin- ity pointed out that Wright had asked for a tr_nsfer to the south in en effort to aid the health of his wife, who was suffering from tu- berculosis, and his infant child, who was suffering from heart disease. They expressed the belief that the funds which he had taken were used supplying the medical needs of his family and immediately began peti- tions and sent letters to federal auth- orities seeking to gain his freedom. He was released on bonds and sen- tence was withheld until a plea to eat at Washington could be made.
