FACES COURT SMILING
Defense Attorney Renews

(AMncUted rms LtuH Wlrr.)
WASHINGTON, Oct 30 The
question whether Colonel William
Mitchell's defense counsel will ask
his court martial to subpoena
President Coolldge was taken un
der advisement today by Repre
sentative Reld of Illinois, Colonel
Mitchell's counsel. No aubnoena
can be issued before the court con-!
venes Monday. j
The defense also Is considering!
mv auvisaoiuiy or aeeging a sub
poena for Secretary of War Davis.
since Colonel Mitchell's counsel
contends that the war secretary,
aa well as the president, la the ac
cuser in the trial of the air officer.
Regardless of the decision of the
defense in the matter of subpoenas
the court martial, in the opinion of
army legal officers, probably will
refuse a presidential subpoena.
Precedent, they say, la all against
Such a course.
In the event the court should be
asked to subpoena President Cool
ldge, it could base a refusal on the
precedent established by the gener
al court martial which tried the
judge advocate general of the
army, David O. Swalm, whose court
martial was personally directed by
President Arthur.
Counsel for Colonel Mitchell de
voted a large part of yesterday's
session of the court martial to ask
ing questions aa to who actually
ordered the air officer court mar
tlalled and Colonel Moreland. the
Judge advocate general, placed re
sponsibility both on President Cool
ldge and Secretary Davis. Repre
sentative Reid's action in taking
under advisement the question of
subpoenaing these two officers of
the government was based on this

"Drunken Sheepherder and

Testified Are

(AaiirUlcd lira Leaanl Wlrr.)
SALEM, Ore.. Oct. 30. The full
pardon granted to A. J. Weston bv
Governor Pierce waa based on the
theory that no murder waa commit
ted and that Robert H. Krug, the
dead man, waa burned to death ac
cidentally In hla cabin, near 81a
tera, Oregon, according to a state
ment relative to the pardon that
waa issued ny uovernor Pierce to
day. The governor aays frankly
lhat he doea not believe the story
told by George Stlllwell, one of the
witnesses, whom the governor re-
iera to aa a "drunken sheepherder
and Illicit distiller." The governor
declares hla belief that Weston
"has been the victim of as cold
blooded a frame-up as waa ever
known In the records of western
criminal procedure."
I granted a full Dardon to Jack
Weston after becoming thoroughly
convinced mat he waa Innocent of
the murder of Krug," the governor
aaya. "Special investigations have
continued over a period of nearly
one year. Numerous reports have
been submitted to me. 1 have had
many Interviews with Jack Weston
and with various other people.
Some believed Weston Innocent
and others believed him guilty. I
interviewed Btilwell at length. I
read and re-read the testimony In
the various trials. The verdicts of
two Juries convicting Weston were
set asido by the supreme court. I
have no doubt that the third con
viction would have been treated In
like manner had Weston possessed
Ihe necessary funds for perfecting
an appeal.
Thlnka Death Accidental.
"These exhaustive investigations
have convinced me that Krug waa
not murdered. He was an old re
cluse, living in a lonely mountain
cabin, with only dogs for compan
ions. Being an Inveterate cigarette
smoker, he often smoked Ik bed.
Testimony shows that he frequent
ly aet fire to hla bedding.
"StlllweH'a story, as told me, la
so Improbable that I do not believe
it
It differed In many particulars
from his stories on the witness
stand. Ilia evidence at Ihe various
trials also varied. Weston was
convicted silli ly on the evidence of
Slilwell and Wilson. I have had
Ihe careera of all three men care
fully investigated. Jack Weston waa
for several years a well known.
trusted officer of the law In Cen
tral Oregon. At one time, he had
quite a little fortune. Simple cau
tion, lo say nothing of his high
typo of Intelligence, would have
prevented Weston from commit
ting such an indiscreet act, aa to
force the unwilling, drunken sheep-
herder and Illicit distiller. Hllllwell
to accompany him to more lonely
mountain cabin to witness his kill
ing of Krug. The further testimony
of Wilson and Hllllwell to Ihe effect
lhat Weston admilted, the next
morning at the mill, the killing of
Krug and burning nf hla body, ia
so Improbable that It Is redlculous.
'"The testimony In regard lo the
note found in Weston s possession,
varies In every trial. I do not be
lieve that any note waa taken by
Weston from Ihe Krug cabin.
Inconsistaneiss Shown,
"The testimony shows lhat the
only door to the cabin waa off lis
hinges and that It waa placed edge-
waya across thri opening; that men
could step over thla door, and that
Ihe dogs Jumped over It, aa It was
only two and a half feet high. SUM
well's story la that Weston struck
Krug over the head with a club
and then choked him to death. If
this story wss true, the dogs na
turally would have left the rabin
during the struggle. 'Their bodies
were found In the remains of Ihe
cabin. The only reasonable Infer
ence la that the dogs and their
master were suffocated by Ihe
smoke while sleeping and were un
able to escspe.
"Hllllwell and Wilson were pre
