that this, with his own offering pf

Cummins has pardoned George Weemi,
the' most famous life prisoner In ' the
Iowa penitentiary,
Weems waa sent up . for shooting
Railway Conductor Rldpath, the motive
presumably being : robbery. - But in
Davenport lives a woman -who knows
that Weems waa not guilty, because on
that fatal night the accused man was
in her -company. Now. this woman' is
married and is the mother of a son.
If she told the truth about Weems her
aon would learn of her past, and rather
than that she has remained sphinx-like
through all these years,, permitting an
Innocent man to remain a convict.
This woman's story was learned by
Attorney . J. - A. Dyer, attorney . . for
Weemi Dyer secured from her an
affidavit' on condition that her name
be not divulged. This affidavit was
presented to the board of pardon in
confidence, and ' later to ' the governor.
So atrona waa the impression made that
the governor freed Weems. , The name
of the woman Is still kept secret and
will be preserved inviolate, the cover
