PETITION FOR PARDON. 3alem Citizens Active In Behalf of an ex-Resident of Their Tovrn. SALEM, April 29. Friends of J. G. TLuhrman, an ex-Salemite, who is serving c five years' term in the penitentiary for manslaughter, under a commitment from Baker county, today began the circula- j stlon of a petition asking the Governor to J grant the convicted man a full pardon I and restoration to citizenship. Since his incarceration, Luhrman's wife has been working faithfully to se cure his pardon. She has just returned from Baker county -with a petition signed y 300 of the citizens of Sumpter, the of ficials of that municipality, the Baker county officers and eleven of the jurors that convicted Lubrman. The services of 4he Circuit Judge who presided when Luhrm&n was convicted have also been enlisted in the prisoner's behalf. The petition being circulated here is supplementary to - -that brought from Eastern Oregon and is being largely signed. After the usual preamble, the petition prays for Luhrman's pardon and restoration to citizenship, "believing such action would redound to the good of the State "by the rehabilitation of a citizen who has "broken the law because he was compelled to do eo in -self-defense, and not from a wanton desire to violate a statute or gratify a personal vengeance." In the spring of 1900, TLuhrman, in a quarrel with his partner, with whom he was engaged in the lunch-counter busi ness at Sumpter, in self-defense; it is al leged, ldljed the- man, who had many vtlmps threajend his life. Prior to the -commission of-the crime Luhrman bore a good reputatipn. The prison management reports him an exemplary prisoner. BONDS CARRIED.
