Governor Marshall Refuses To Pardon Thomas Thompson.

A dispatch from Indianapolis says: Governor Marshall yesterday afternoon dictated a second letter to the state board of pardons, calling attention to his belief that the state board should hot interfere in cases of prison sentences when the minimum sentence period had not expired, except in cases where extenuating circumstances are found. The Governor stated that for this reason he had not seen fit to follow the recommendations of the board in the case of Thomas B. Thompson, sentenced from Porter county in 1909 for attempted assault on Mrs. Kelly, of Westchester township, Porter county.
