Springfield - Governor Dunne, acting on the recommendation of the state board of pardons, commuted the sentence of S. McIntyre, sentenced to life imprisonment in 1906 in Warren for the murder of Luella Merrill, following an alleged attack. The authorities have since become convinced that the death of the girl was due to appendicitis. Applications for pardon were denied in the following cases:
James Morin, Cook county, murder; Thomas Flynn, Cook county, murder; Jerry Moulton, Cook county; Philip Mernaugh, Madison county, and Charles Butler, Jersey county.
