71 BY LOUI LUDLOW WASHINGTON July President Wilson today granted an unconditional pardon'to William Kettenbach for merly of Indianapolis over whose head was hanging a five year sentence in the ederal Penitentiary at ort Leaven worth Kas When the President issued ttiis pardon which was accompanied by a similar pardon for George II Kester who was also sentenced to serve five years performed what Senator Borah of Idaho characterized as rare act of Commenting on the act Senator Borah said: was a just and brave thing to do It was just the sort of a case where only a President who is gifted with great courage as well as an acute sense of justice would have I ventured to grant Kettenbach as he is familiarly known has many friends in Indianapolis where he was born about thirty five years ago and where his sister Mrs Grace Pfafllln wife of Dr Charles A Pfafflln still resides His father an Indianapolis business man moved to Lewiston Idaho and started a small bank STUDIED AT BUTLER returned to Indianapolis and took a course at Butler College One of his particular churns at college was John Holiett who is now a well known In dianapolis attorney On March 29 last Mr Holiett practically abandoned his law business and came to Washington was in distress He had been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary and un less the attorney general and the Presi dent could be convinced that he was un tf justly convicted his fate would be a cell and stripes Kettenbach also come and during near ly all of the time that has intervened they have remained here getting their case before the pardoning authorities It has been a long weary vigil At the age of 23 Kettenbach succeeded to the presi dency of the Lewiston Bank The of the office showed that at I that time he was the youngest bank president in America He was making a wonderful record as a financier and busi ness man until he was indicted for al leged timber frauds The last nine years of his life have been spent in litigation The printing of the record in the timber land case alone cost him $5000 and altogether his trou bles have cost him about $100000 ACQUITTED RAUD He was promptly acquitted in the kind fraud case but meanwhile as soon as the Indictment had been returned he and Kester tendered their resignations prevalent and cashier respectively of the Lewisiuwn Bank After than an assistant cashier of bank named Robnett stole $137000 of the bank's funds and turned evidence and implicated Ketten bach and Kester Robnett received a ten sentence from which lie was at once released in consideration of having been a government witness Kettenbach and his family including Mrs Pfafllin Immediately restored to the bank the full amount that had been abstracted Ket tenbach arid Kester were indicted for false entries to the controller but neither signed the entries or report and neither was in Lewistown when this was done They were tried at Boise and sentenced to the minimum sentence of five years each The convictions created a furore throughout Idaho owing to their popu larity and tlie fact that there was not a scintilla of evidence against them Preachers civic bodies commercial or ganizations the Governor of Idaho and five of his predecessors the Washington and Oregon senators the Portland Ore gonian and Journal were among the in fluences lint sought their pardon STANDS WITHOUT PRECEDENT To pardon a national hanker in ad vance of his having served a day of his fieiitunce was a proceeding that was with out a precedent Senator Borah of Idaho Senator Kern of Indiana Senator Lane of Oregon and Attorney Holiett appeared before Presi dent Wilson Borah in the opening statement said it was the undivided sentiment of Idaho that the young men should be pardoned Holiett followed with a recital of the facts In the case lasting three quarters of an hour Senator Ktrn tiien gave Ids Indorsement in unstinted language Contrary to expectation the President did not delay his decision but announced at once that both Kettenbach and Kester were pardoned Later in tiie day Ketten bach was showered with congratulations i at Congress Hall Hotel and Holiett will leave for Indianapolis tomorrow I GRATIIED AT PARDON Dr Pfafflln Says Charges Were Princi pally Political "We are naturally very much gratified at the outcome" said Dr A Pfaiiln discussing the Kettenbach pardon last night we rather

leaders ami underlings of secretaries to congressmen and 'of all the men he had worked with through a year of most active campaign ing in many parts of the country His performance seemed so remarkable to lawyers present that they sat all through a long day intently watching the witness and listening closely to the letters and every word the witness uttered in the brief cross examination that accom

devoted the day largely to reading into the record the tale of political activities There was an occasional reference to strikes in which the had figured and an allusion now and then to the inside workings of labor unions but for the most part it was a story of politics as Mulhall played the game correspondence told of the ef forts to re elect former Representative Littlefield of Maine and
