Committing Crime. TIMES BUREAU AT STATE CAPITAL1 INuiANAPuLlS. Ind.. June 19. In the two and a half years that Governor Goodrich has been in office, his executive clemency has been extended to 662 parsons found guilty of crimes and sentenced and fined in the various tate courts. This number is over three times as great as the number of pardons granted by Governor Ralston, and two and a. half times as many as were pardoned by Governor Marshall In corresponding periods. This number does not include action taken by Governor Goodrich on recommendations of the state board of pardons or Institution boards trustees, but only the action taken in his own right to pardon, parole commute sentences, or order fines cancelled. Conditional paroles, those granted to per, eons who are wanted by other Justice authorities for crimes elsewhere, or temporary paroles are not included In the above figure. The majoirty of pardons are mostly for persons sentenced to the state farm, jails, or -workhouses, while a few are for those who were sentenced to the state prison or reformatory. Under ordinary circumstances the Governor has no knowledge of the man to be released, and recommendations signed by a trial judge, county official, or prosecuting attorney are required to sring the cast to his attention. This Is the form usually adopted by the prisoner's friends to get him out of an Institution, and it is generally not so very hard to get some one to sign the recommendation as there is no responsibility attached. Circumstances in many Instances make it advisable for the common good to release a priaoner. but there are ome attorneys who make a specialty of getting the Governor to let a man cut of the state farm or prison. When It gets noised about that these certain ones are close to the rardoner, they reap a harvest, it is said. Political managers also use their influence to get men released who are at times good political workers in certain circles. The number of Instance where Governor Ralston exerecised the right to release prisoners during the first two and a half years of his term was 210, while Governor Marshall lij a similar period, acted in 2S5 instances.
