v GOVERNOR WES AT PLEAS 10 FREE. STATES PRISONERS On First “Pardon Day” Whit- man Grants Clemency to Lawbreakers. Aged Father's Tears Win Free- dom for Son Now in Dannemora. ALBANY, Jan, 17.—Into the big room of the Executive Offices at the Capitol yesterday there crowded scores of men and women, most of them poorly clothed, to petition personally Gov. Whitman for the release from prison of friends and relatives. It was tho first time in the State's Matory that a Governor had opened his office doors to suppliants for Ex- ecutive clemency. Scenes such as those of yesterday probably will be re- enacted on the third Tuesday of each month, set aside by Mr. Whitman as “pardon” day, when any one in the State is at liberty to plead with the .

Heretofore it has been customary to turn such applicants over to the petition clurk, whose recommenda- tions almost Invariably have been fol- lowed. George Ward, white haired and feeble, faced the Governor before the flat topped desk, behind which Mr. Whitman sat, asking for the release of his twenty-six-year-old son from Dannemora he has served about half of a sentence of two Prigon, where or, years and six months for burglary.

She has walked the floor every night since Tom was sent away.” Gov. Whitman looked through the papers in the case, and, turning to the old man, announced: “Your request is granted. Your boy shall go home.” Half a dozen persons appoared in behalf of Anna Schmidt Doyle, twenty-two years old, of Brooklyn, who, after eloping, killed her hus- band. The Judge who sentenced her to Auburn Prison had written a letter to the Governor, saying that, if the facts had come out at the woman's trial, she probably would not have been convicted. ‘When Mr. Whitman announced that he would commute the woman's sen- tence, so that she could be released by the Parole Board, Mrs. Schmidt was so overcome with joy that she had to de assisted from the room. More than once tears filled the Governor's eyes as relatives and friends of convicts made emotional appeals. ardons granted by the Governor, conditional on approval by the Parole Board, included the cases of: Bamuel Rosen of New York, @en- tenced in May, 1910, to a thirty-year term for burglary. Joseph Fendly, Lockport, sentenced im 1905 to twenty years for robbery. Joseph Herman, New York, con- ‘victed of burglary in 1909 and given a twenty-year term, Julius Kupfer, New York, who, in May, would have finished a two and one-half year sentence for receiving stolen goods, He was reported to be tuberculosis at Clinton Prison. .
