FROM SUNDAY'S DAILY EK0J1 TttE PfiESIDIO, - - , . 1 i T0LU5TEEBS WILL BKTUB5 TO OBKGOS 15 A BODY. Geneial Summers Write to the Got ernor Beg-anling" tb Trip-Case of Frank G Irani. Gov. T. T. Geer yesterday received two tetters from i Brigadier-General O. Summers, commanding the Second Ore gon volunteers, now , at thei , Presidio. Ban Francisco, both under date of July iSth. The first of the letters! is in ref erence to the return, home of the vol unteers after being! mustered out, and the following Is the text of tt: , "My Dear Governor: The time is growing short when .we will have to - make the necessary arrangements to return home. I am particularly anxi ous that the citizens should &o every thing that they can to assist my men In saving all expenses possible. As yoa are well aware, a large number of the boys are without positions, and every dollar they can save will be that much more to pay their -way iintll they shall have had tUn to -procure work. I know your and my opinions coincide exactly on this point.: I would like to know that every effort possible Is made to see that all the men have something to fall .back upon ' when they retire from the service. I feel satisfied that the patriotism of the people of the great state of Oregon will be- of great er endurance than a twenty-Xbur hours' celebration. These men have natural appetites, and require proper clothing In order to live comfortably. j All these things they must have, and 1 any sav ings they can make now Is that much more towards providing them after .being mustered out. Impress; upon the people the importance of thls?polnt. On our final departure I will com municate with you personally,- and It Is my earnest desire that you: and your atafT should Join the regiment: upon its arrival within the limits of the state of Oregon, and I extend to you and he tsalt such hospitalities as the car, I shall occupy, affords. We leave here undoubtedly August 8th. The train will move In three sections.' the first containing headquarters, the! field and atafT, and the First battalion: the sec ond the Second battalion, and; the third the Third battalion. At the present time It is the Intention to drop off pt all the principal points up the valley, where the several ; companies fSurpe from, in Order that the residents of these, more distant cttle from Port land, may "have an opportunity to see the command I trust that you will find your way clear to meet me on this occasion The regiment jwill pass through the great 'Willamette valley, nd finally terminate In Portland to be disbanded. ASio. I wish, at j the final termination of our trip, to turn over .. to you. In Portland, the colors of this regiment which ' have been borne through all the operations om the. Is lands, the delivery to be the flnat clos ing of Its career." The second letter Is In reference to the petitions, sent to General Summers In the interest of Frank Glrard. of company I. who left the command to hasten to 'his s'.ek , mother's bedside. The general takes a pleisant View of the affair as will be seen by his letter, pMvcn herewith: j My Dear Sir: 1 ami In receipt of your favor of July 17th together with several petitions In (the Interest of Frank Oiranl. a private jln rVtmpany I, of this regiment, and in reply jwill state that there is no necessity forj any un easine in his cae, as this man was granted all the prlvi!I?es thut were ponnlMe. and he will not be disturbed, lie has done exactly what yojs. or I. or any other soldier of 'metal, would have dine under the circumstances, and I certainly would not': be disf-osed to treat the matter - severely. lie will have to report here for final muster-out. It Is not the disposition of, the com manding officer of this regl-nent to be severe with a m ant who endeavors to art In obedience to good impulses. He has done no more than would have been done by any other person, and Is en titled to all possible considers tlon. "I will state further, that the health of the regiment Is excellent now, and : everything is moving along splendidly. I earnestly hope the citizen will make 'arrangements to bring the Teglment home Intact, as you are well aware of the fact that It Is coming back Into the state as a body1. Let the citizens do their part." - . Late last evening the following tele gram was received from General Sum mere, and forwarded to the governor. who was In Portland:; "Will It be possible to arrange for free transportation for valley com panies home after final dlsbandment In Portland?

RELEASED FaOil FRISOi SERVICE. Governor Oeer I'lscngses the Mauy Applications for Clenicuty aud Criticizes Jnrors. tFrom Maly July 3Cth) Gov. T. T Geer yesterday granted a ix'A pirUon to James G. Lee, Jr., con- vkteJ In! Washington county, on De-:ce-mber li. 1&97, of the crime of crlmi ! nal assault and whose sentence of three years in the penitentiary was to begin j tomorrow (Monday). Many petitioners. 1 residents of 'Washington county, urged executive clemency, among, them being eleven of the trial Jurors, our of the : grand Jurors, the proseeutlnjg attorney. i and Judge Thos. A. iMcBrlde, the trial j I , i. , - i x iittv rr u many U(ipn-ainMr 1 1Z.' t j nie now as I could afTord to ajrari I .Zr requs,t f?I fltme T' that four years, and. indeed. It Is a du'J j the boy was only 16 years old when the . , the offlce when a Mw Qae crime was committed; that the testl mony was conflicting and weak; that the family - had been put to a great deal of expense, and that he was suf ficiently punished. Judge McBride, when consulted by the governor, urged clemency and assumed all responsibil ity. Urged by the citizens of Washing ton county generally, and those most intimately connected with the case in particular, the governor finally grant ed the pardon. In speaking of the petitions for the pardon of. prisoners, convicted of crimes and sentenced to the peniten tiary, scores of which petitions are flooding the executive offlce. Gov. T. T. Geer, In an Interview, had before the J pardon In the Lee case was granted. ' said: "It is the greatest annoyance, aside from trying to please one's friends in the matter of public patronage, that demands the attention ot this office. t There are now more than forty appli cations on file here' for pardons, and many of them are strongly supported iDy tne trial judges, tne enamel aitor neys and even by the Jurors who, un der oath, found the prisoners guilty. Six months experience in this office has shown that the average "Jury will listen to a three hours' plea by de fendant's counsel for a verdict of ac quittal without the slightest effect on a determination to convict, say for a term of five years, and then within less than six months go all to pieces by signing a petition to the governor to rectify their mistake by granting full pardon. It would seem that the influence of public sentiment In the community where the trial Is conduct ed, together with the testimony, should determine the case fairly and finally, and that, as a rule, no, appeal to the governor should be made unless some new facta, unobtainable' at the trial. are discovered. But In all these cases for pardon now pending, I do not recall that any new testimony is alleged In a single intsance. Each one is simply a bold, bald 'appeal to the governor to arbitrarily set aside the work of the courts and bring In a verdict of ac quittal. The Lee case from Washington county, now pending, Is an Instance of this kind. There Is a petition before me giving good reasons why I should grant him a full pardon. It Is signed by every one of the trial Jurors, ex cepting one, and he asks for a reduc tion of the sentence. This petition is also signed by four of the seven grand Jurors who Indicted the defendants These appeals for executive clemency ha V3 been on file In this office more than a week full two weeks before the sentence begins to run. Hew is a gov ernor to Know wnetner ne is moving Justly In a matter when Jurors ast 1 ke this? How Is he to know whether they were a little off a: the ! time of the trial, or have become so since? In this petition the Jurors decjare that the accused at the time of i the alleged crime 'was a mere boy, under 15 years of age:' but his age at the time of the trial. Is the same now as It was then, and should have had the same influence on the Jury then as now. It . Is also urged that the evidence was 'not very stronsr snd was contradictory. But it was surely as weak and contradictory then as now; at least no effort has been made to show that It has become more so, and the Jurors Inform me that the boy. has been sufficiently punished, al though his term In the prison is hot to begin until next Monday. "I was told the other day by a prom inent citizen of Washington county that these Jurors are representative men and first-class citizens; this Is certainly true of those of them I know personal ly, but this fact. Instead of explaining the case, only serves to, throw around It a cloud of Increasing bewilderment. This Is entirely unjust to the pardon ing power, for. while I shall have to act In the matter, I km not sure whether my duty requires me to grant an absolute pardon, commute the sen tence to one year or to refuse to Inter fere at all. v The power to grant pardons and commute sentences Is a great one to place In-the hands af one man, and should be used very sparingly; but there are times, no doubt, when the prejudice of a neighborhood Interferes iritopuuiy witn a jair trial. AS a rule, the lapse of time serves to remove mis prejudice, but Jurors should be perfectly free from Its Influence If Jus tice Is to be done. There Is no greater function In our government than that exercised by a Juror who deliberately determines matters of life and death. The sending of a boy of 1 years to the penitentiary, even for only three years, makes him an ex-convict for. life -before he has reached his majority, and in; the case ot young le, even If I pardon him, which I probably shall, since Judge McBride Joins with the Jury In the recommendation, the fact that a pardon was necessary will be a scar on his reputation for all time. This thoughtless action of a Jury, al though afterward repented of. cannot be, wholly condoned and they should unite with all other good citizens In encouraging the young man to a life of usefulness and Integrity. Tt would seem that the proceedings of courts and Juries should be more cerefaHy guarded, in which event there would be less appeals to the executive to rectify their mistake.
