Colonel Marshall's letter to Mrs. Elchelsdoerfer is as follows: “Dear Mrs. Eichelsdoerfer: “This notification is your Christmas present from me. “Captain Lano was the other officer woo helped to make the reconnaissance and the Germans had them both under heavy fire the entire time they were making it. I watched the finish from a hill a mile or so away; they were zig-zagging up a little valley, and once one of them was knocked down by a shell that exploded near. Their clothes were torn, but, fortunately, they were not wounded. It really was providential that they were not. “The duty was very important. We planned to cross the River Meuse that night, and there was a salient In the river that we had not cleaned up—the 2nd Division going to the right, the Ist to the left and left this salient unoccupied. It was there I planned to cross t!. :iver. So we had to find out about the condition of the hanks, the depth of the water and as much as we could the strength of the Germans. “Your boy and Captain Lano did the work splendidly, and in the face of dangers that those who have not seen war, can never, never imagine. “Mrs. Marshall Joins me in loving greetings and in congratulations that the disguished bravery of your son has at last been rewarded. ‘•Faithfully yours. “F.

ASK CLEMENCY FOR MAN WHOM THEY CONVICTED Eleven of Twelve Jurors in Parsons’ Case Join in Parole Plea. Eleven of the twelve jurors who tried and convicted Frank Harrison Parson, better known as “Harry Parsons,” petitioned the State board of pardons today asking that a parole be granted the man whom they had found guilty of a charge of receiving stolen property, in May, 1920. I One of the jurors, William Holler of Alton, appeared personally before the board and explained his reason for signing the petition for clemency. He said that he was of the opinion that Parson was being persecuted and that he beI lieved that he should be granted a pa I role. Herman Hohlt of Indianapolis, in a letter to the board, said he was still of the opinion that Parsons was guilty. ,T. H. Powell of Bridgeport said he signed the petition requesting a pardon for Parsons, because he did not think ! Parsons’ case was properly put before the jury. Claris Adams, who was prosecuting attorney at the time Parsons was convicted in Criminal Court wrote n letter to the board in which he said, he would not object to a pardon being given Parsons, although he did not present the case either to the grand jury or to the jury which convicted Parsons. Some of the jurors recommended that Parsons be given his liberty because they understood Judge James A. Collins was in favor of it. Judge Collins, however, has not recommended a parole for Parsons. Among the jurors who recommended clemency were: John Luebkeman, Alton, ,T. H. Powell, Bridgeport; Fred Minger, Indianapolis; Charles Ilarting, Beech Grove; William Holler, Alton; William 11. Repor.
