Kxcerpts follow: "1 personally would have no objection to recom mending a pardon after the de fendant had served u. reasonable lime, und 1 an; not requesting or insisting on Hit full ten-year pen alty, but 1 do think that consider ing the great expense and the tax to t'nion county, in the trial of this case us a whole, that it would bo a tie vest y on justice tto turn the defendant loo.c after hi' hus been found guilty and the case uf- firmcd by the supreme court by an undivided court. I un derstand that the statement has been made that the defendant de nies his guilt. If there is any doubt in your mind about this, I would ask that you read the record, which is very short. The original testi mony is on fit-.! in the records of the supreme court. While the sentences given by the court Is heavy, yet you yourself are un doubtedly to some extent familiar with the condition existing In Old Town of La Grande prior to this (rial. These girls lived in Hint purt of town and 1 have often luan 1 the remark that those two convictions did more to clean up things there than anything (hat had happened for years." ' Wright's Denial Another letter written by Mr. Green states: "I understood from one of your letters thai L'd Wright recommended u pardon. I have talked to I'M Wright personally while here at Hot Lake and he ab solutely denies recommend Ing u pardon, but states I hut he recom mended a reduction In the sentence to around one year.
