Oct. 4 John Arthur Pender, who recently was pardoned from the state penitentiary after serving eight years of a life term for the murder of Mrs. Daisy Wehr mun and her little son in Columbia county in September, 1911. called at the executive offices here today and personally expressed his appreciation of the action taken by Governor Ol cott in giving hinrhis freedom. "When I entered the prison," said Pender, "there was a saloon on every corner; people were shappibly clad, the streets were crowded with "drunks" and idleness prevailed in all sections of the state. When 1 re turned to Portland two weeks ago I noticed a great change. Everybody Is well dressed, social conditions are improved and there is work for all who would be self-respecting and honorable. I hardly knew Portland, but I am glad to say that the saloon is gone and that the temptations whirh Tiave sent many good men to prison have been eliminated. "Sly aged mother, who was so loyal to me during my long term of con finement, is the happiest woman in the world, while my wife shed tears of Joy when we were united on the night of my release from prison." Mr. Fender told Governor Olcott to day that conditions at the peniten tiary were the best at the present time of any period during his eight years' incarceration in the institution. , PEETE AIDS PRDBE WITNESS LN DENTON CASE REACHES lOS ANGELES.
