SALEM. Or.. Aug. a. (Special.) a. Rnmor Wlthvcombe are somewhat incensed over the criti cism of the Executive tor grannn -conditional pardon to A. Wolfman. of Portland, sentenced to the penitentiary on a perjury charge. They say the criticisms are not fair and do not give all the facts. One of them today made the following statement: -What is back of this criticism of the Governor I do not know, but It Is certainly unjust. Wolfman was ac niitti nf the charges of arson In Cir cuit Judge McGinn's court. He was then Indicted on a cnarge oi perjury, the alleged perjury having been com mitted at bis trial on the arson charge. It was based upon a technicality, be ing an answer 'Yes or 'No to a ques tion. , There has always been a grave doubt as to whether the man committed per jury. Ten of the men on the Jury which convicted him signed the peti tion for the conditional pardon. Cir cuit Judges McGinn and Gatens signed the petition, the former writing after hia name: 'May this petition be granted is my prayer.' "The petition was signed by . X0 prominent residents of Portland. After the pardon was granted Frank E. Wat kinm of the firm of Parrlsh, Watkins tt Company. Portland, wrote Governor Withycorobe that be would aid Wolf man to get a start In business. Mr. Watkins said In his letter: "'In spite of any criticisms that may be made or have been made on account of this pardon, by certain Interested parties, I believe that you may be as sured that your action Is fully In ac cord with the views of all prominent men of Portland who are familiar with the ease.' , "As to the Governor not conferring with the trial Judge and the District Attorney regarding the pardon, that was not necessary. While .a statute provides that he confer with these of ficials, the constitution of the state empowers him to grant pardons of his own accord. I am certain that the Governor, after reading the signatures to the petition and looking carefully into the case, thought it was one In which a pardon should be granted, and did not consider the possibility of any one objecting to It" When asked if be had a statement to make regarding the pardon. Governor Wlthycombe said: "I have no statement to make. Jus tice and humanity prompted my action In granting this conditional pardon."
