Both Rejected
Kei'.ey and Wlllos were a de

before Judge Kelly early today.
They did not seem nerv.us, and both
made rather extended statements,
but both were unshaven and pale.
Wlllos' pallor was particularly
noticeable because normally he Is of
rudy complexion.
Kelley wns the first to be sent
enced. Before Judge. Kelly pro
nounced the grim words, "You shall
be banged by the neck until you are
dead, and may Cod have mor-y cu
your soul," he gave each man op
portunity to speak.
Got Pair Trial
"I want to say," said Kelley. "that
as far as the Jury is concerned I
have had as fair a trial as could be
expected under the circumstances.
but iwlthout ap:losy, I want to say-
that I am a victim of circumstances
I did not kill Holman as the state
has tried to show, and In time it
will be proven that I did not kill
him. Taat's all I have to say."
Willos also said his trial had
been fair.
Willos is Sorry
"But I. am not guilty of murder
In the first degree," he added, "I
never harmed any man during the
get away, ami never had the least
idea of harming anyone. I am
vera- sorry that anyone was harmed
but it wus through misunderstanding
in fact I understood that no o'ne
was to be harmed, and I want to
say the same thing for Jones, Mur
ray and Kelley. I think Jones simp
ly went wild and begun shooting
making things turn out Che way
they did. Both Kelley and I came
back to the prison without hand
cuffs. We said we wanted to an
swer to the charge of first degree
murder, but we did not think we
would have to be hanged for it.".

belief that Weston "has been the vic

"I granted a full pardon to Jack
Weston after becoming thoroughly
convinced that he was Innocent of
the murder of Krug," the governor
says. "Special investigations have
continued over a period of nearly
one year. Numerous reports have
been submitted to me. I have had
many interviews with Jack Weston
and with various other people. Some
believed Weston Innocent and others
believed him guilty. I interviewed
Stllwell at length. I read and re-read
the testimony in the various trials.
"The verdicts of two juries con
victing Weston were set aside by the
supreme court. I have no doubt that
the third conviction would have been
treated in like manner bad Weston
possessed the necessary funds for
perfecting an appeal."
