Paul Doyle, state commissioner of correction, that John F. Noxon be given a "full and complete pardon" it appeared to- 3ay that it would be several weeks before other state agencies would act on the pardon petition. Spokesmen for the State Parole 3oard and A General Barnes' office said their investi- of the facts in the highly controversial case were not compete. They said the attorney general is anxious to read the report of District Attorney Charles R. Alberti, who prosecuted Noxon and vho has stated that he will strong- oppose any pardon actions.

In his to Gov- rnor Bradford and the Executive Council, the state corrections com- nissioner concluded that "in view all the facts I believe there is easonable doubt as to the defend- nt's guilt." The 51-year-old Noxon, an attorney here for many years and currently serving a life sentence for the murder of his mongoloid child, was saved from death in the electric chair in August. 1946, by Governor Tobin. Commissioner Doyle said yesterday that he was not in possession of the same information at that time. In his letter to the governor he quoted a post-trial statement by Dr. Alan R.

Moritz, state pathr-lo- gist and a professor of legal mtdi- cine at Harvard, in which the state's chief prosecution expert said: "I do not believe that a truly open-minded jury could have found Noxon guilty beyond a reasonable doubt." Doyle's Letter Commissioner DoV'Je's letter follows: In my recommendation to former Governor Tobin in a previous petition for commutation of the Noxon sentence. I sta'ted that I did not believe it was within my province to question the a i i of the verdict. To this i i I still scribe whenever possible, in view of the fact a is in a better position than I am to evaluate the evidence. We must consider, however, a the disposition of a criminal case can be a continuing process and go beyond the verdict of a jury or the decision of a Supreme Court. This I believe, falls within that category.

The present pardon petition contains information that was not available to me when I made my former recommendation. On Page 48 is a letter addressed to Governor Tobin by Dr. Allan R. Moritz, state pathologist, in which ha states that "with the exception of District Attorney I doubt that anyone has greater first hand knowledge than I of the evidence that led to the conviction of John F. Noxon for the murder of his son." He states thai "much of the evidence was highly technical" and a "when honest and capable medical men differ, as did the experts in this case, it should be considered that there is room for doubt that either side is portance, we must remember a Dr.

Moritz was not a defense witness but a witness for the Commonwealth. It is hardly possible that in this capacity he would make these statements unless they were purely objective. I have talked at length with several people who attended the trial from beginning to end and they were of the opinion that the medical testimony, which was so important, was conflicting and that it would be difficult to determine its value. At the trial, the child's ability to become entangled in the electric cord which caused its death was; a controversial subject. I'be- lieve it is now conceded by both the prosecution and the defense the child was capable of sufficient motion to become entangled in the cord.

A letter on Page 56 of the petition, from Dr. Richard H. Smith, Boston physician, on Aug. 23, 1947, corroborates this fact. I have been closely associated with the case sinco the early part of 1945.

I have come to know the defendant since that time. He has expressed far more concern over the fact he was guilty of murdering his infant son than he ever did over his sentence of electrocution in the electric chair. (Commuted by Tobin.) In view of all these facts, I believe there is a reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt. I therefore, recommend to Your Excellency a full and complete pardon for John F. Noxon.

In so doing it is not my desire to deal leniently with the petitioner but to deal justly. Former Governor Joseph B. Ely filed a petition for a pardon for his client, Noxon.

Mr. Heselton emphasized that the best, way for this nation to tight ideologies foreign to our own was to "rehabilitate those other nations and keep them going concerns." To do this best he wants a "strong, sound, efficient government."
