He 9, entered prison here January 13, 1920. He was convicted for fatally shoot- ing the farmer who employed him. ‘The shooting er and his wife were engaged in an argument that developed into a fist fight between the couple. Thrond- , Son claimed he seught only to frighten 4 the man. After the shooting, Throndson at- tempted to comnrit suicide, shooting himself through the abdomen. He recovered. ‘Throndson’s case had engaged the attention of previous pardon boards, and Judge A. M. Clbristianson, a form- er member, told the present board he/ », believed the man wits entitled to clem- ency. No Premeditated Plan That there was no premeditated plan on the part of Throndson to kill ‘was the view taken by the board. He was said to have taken one of the many rifles kept on the farm and to have fired in the heat of excitement. He had just returnec| from the World ‘War in which he hal participated in many engagements. ‘At the penitentiary here Thrond- son was the only trusty permitted to| work outside the prison walls. His record had been exceptionally good. The board has adjourned until after the first of the year, when it will con- sider the case of Raymond Potter, ‘Whose life term for murder has been reduced to second-degree murder, carrying a penalty of 10 to 30 years. ‘The board will fix his sentence, with indication that a term may be fixed that probably will bring about his re- Jease soon.

In 1921 the amendment was enacted providing clemency may be granted if found the prisoner is innocent charge for which he was .
