ious Kritchman Case
HARTFORD. Dec. 19.-——E'rght
prisoners at the State prison in
“'ethersfield, three. of them sening
life sentences. were pardoned by the
Board of Pardons Inst night at the
conclusion of one. of the longest ses»
sions ever held by the board. The
session began Monday morning.
lasted through that day. and. because
of the numerous petitions yet. to be
heard. was continued yesterday. tak—
ing up the entire day.
Those pardoned and
for which they were sentenced

John T. Hayes. convicted of sec-
'ond degree murder. on November 8.
190i. in Litchi‘lcld county and sen—
tenced to life imprisonment.
Salvatore Canto, convicted of sec-
and degree nlurder on July 9. 1908
in New Haven county and, sentenced
to life imprisonment.
Joseph Pecciulis. alias Joe Mit-
chell. convicted of second degree
murder on Msrh 28, 1310 in New
Haven country and sentenced to
lite imprisonment.

March 6. 1920 and sentenced to from
eight to 13 years.
Charles Dewey. convicted of es-
curling from Stale prison on March
4. 1915 and sentenced to from five to
ten years.
The claim that he was sentenced
to lite imprisonment through 'twistcd
testimony” was mule on behalf of
Joseph Peculias, alias John Mitchell
0: Waterbury. guilty of spec. rid degrck
murder. before the Pardon board at.
the state prison at \V ethcrsneld yes-
tcrday.
The 121i: appeal of Mitchell. who
is serving a lite sentence tor the
death of Benjamin Kulvinakas in
September, 1909. was by far the
most spectacular appeal yet made by
him {or release from the State pris-
on.
Tho llttlc hearing room at the
prison was crowded with spectators
as the Pardon hoard took up the
case. the first. or the. day.
Mitchell's me was prosentcd by
Louis M. Karl‘s-l of “'atcrbury, and
he iniormo‘ the board the hearing
would consume. more time than ever
beforfi; He had a. mass of documents
with him to support his contentions
that Mitchell. on innocent man. was
.4 .
the crimes
to
lying. twisted testimony sud uninten-
tionally false testimony.
Mitchell, with Sophie Krltchman
of Union City. was c‘nvicted of sec-
ond degree murder on March 28,
1910. Ben Kulvinskas, died’in a “Ya:
terbury hospital. Saturday, Septem-
ber 19.1909. hsving been found in
a lonely patch of woods about noon
that day.
Adldavits were otter-ed toshow that
John \Veisman. tormer deputy sherii!
of Hartford. had been in this city
on two days’ visited when he teeth
tied he had seen Mitchell in “'ater-
bury. Six 0: the surviving Jurors
who convicted Mitchell have msde
amdavits that it the statements since
made in the cast had been presented
at the trial they would have returned
a diiiferent verdict.
It is claimed by Ration that some
