In closing the governor set six principles underlying execut've clemency that have guided him in his actions, as follows: consideration of any case, it is necessary to keep in mind not only the individual, but also society as a whole. the absence of new facts not brought to life at the trial, I should be extremely loath to overturn the verdicts of our juries and the judgment of our courts.

Nine persons have been granted clemency in this period, he said. These included a reprieve granted to a prisoner who died during the period of reprieve, three commutations of sentence from death to life imprisonment. three pardons to restore citizenship, one pardon where innocence was conclusively proved and one pardon to a man about to be imprisoned. By far the outstanding act of clemency during the governor's term was the pardon of Charlotta Anita Whitney June 20, 1927. Miss Whitney was convicted in Alameda county of violating the war-time criminal syndicalism act, and sentenced to serve 1 to 14 years at San Quentin.

The other acts of clemency listed were: George Watters, Sacramento negro, sentenced to be hanged at San Quentin for murdering his wife. Commuted February 28 to life imprisonment without parole. Lonnie Johnson, wife murderer, granted a 90-day reprieve because the prisoner was dying of pernicious anemia. Johnson died July 5, 1928. Scott C.

Stone, convicted in Los Angeles of murdering May and Nina Martin, aged 12 and 8. Sentence commuted March 9 to life imprisonment. Joseph Sandoval, convicted in Ventura county of slaying his common-law wife, and sentenced to hang. Commuted September 22, 1927. James S.

Willis, Sacramento robpardoned August 18, 1927. Sentenced to consecutive terms of 5 years to life and 1 to 14 years.

As he stood before the brusque, strong voiced attorney for cross-examination to the testimony he had given to Charles Blackstock, he smiled confidingly at the men around him. Pastor Holds His "Like a lamb to the slaughter," thought The Star reporter as the little man identified himself as "Rev. Robert Gooden, an pal clergyman and head master at the Harvard academy." He softened his "r's" and spoke in a gentle tone, to a friend across the luncheon table.

For about two minutes the reporter held to his delusion as Rev. Gooden not only, answered the question put to him but elaborated smilingly with reminiscences of "the cow that couldn't get out of the pasture" and the times he had "had to carry firewood from the eucalyptus trees into the Foster home" when he lived there from 1895 to 1898. But it soon became apparent that the minister's testimony, bland in form, was impregnable to Malloy's thrusts. The Rev. Mr.

Gooden couldn't say exactly how far Mr. Foster's property had extended in those days, he had just assumed that "it went on out into the river." No, he didn't remember how far back the fence went except that when he drove out there yesterday it seemed "fearfully short." "But of course, I am remembering back over 30 years, you "Yes, I said Malloy, drily. "In about 10 minutes the minister was dismissed from further crossexamination. Witnesses who took the stand this morning, were E. P.

Foster, Earl Percy, and Muktar Willett, besides Charles Petit and R. G. Percy, who were returned for brief cross-examination. By a deed which Mr. Foster exhibited from Ramon Lorenzana to his present property, it became apparent that it will be necessary for the plaintiffs to argue adverse possession to win their case.

As Mr. Foster Pointed it out on the map the ground covered by the deed did not come to the grant line PLANE MYSTERY PARTLY SOLVED The mystery surrounding the forced landing of an airplane near Somis, supposed to have been used for smuggling in Chinese from Mexico, was partially solved yesterday with the arrest of Bud Merrill, who the customs officials claim was the pilot of the machine, No details of the arrest or of the investigation have been given the local sheriff's office. Deputy Sheriff Bill Suytar went to Somis yesterday for the customs officials to investigate a mysterious phone call placed from that town shortly after the plane is supposed to have crashed. under dispute. Malloy immediately placed the map in evidence, to the apparent concern of the plaintiff attorneys.

Answering a question which has been asked by a number of persons interested in the case, Malloy told The Star this noon that he is successor to the Carpentier-Steinbach interests by a purchase of 20 years ago.
