Governor Poynter Pardons Mur
derer Kcarns Under Suspi
ciors Circumstances.
The Cimi County Murderer, Living In
Ottuua, Cuniulu, T11 III Moiy.
Omaha, Oct. 2!). In no Instance hns
the pardoning power of the governor
been more shamefully abused than by
Governor Poynter In pardoning John
Uenwell Kearns, tho murderer of Mat
thew Akcson of Cass county. With the
facts relHtlng to this most awful crime,
shocking In Its brutality, most of the
people of Nebraska are familiar, but
there are few who nre aware of the
fact that Kearns was pardoned under
very suspicious circumstances, cir
cumstances Indicative of shameful col
lusion, If not downright fraud.
Governor Poynter pardoned Kearns
on the claim that ho was "dying," but
It now develops that Kearns Is living
in Oltuwa, Cnunda, and Is In perfeit
health. Sixteen months have elapsed
filiiir the brutal murderer of old man
AUeon was clandestinely nnd secretly
released from the penitentiary and
"sent home to die," but ho Is not only
not dead, but Is working every day and
has been for tho last ten months ami
is, ns shown by the following dispatch
from Ottawa, In perfect physical con
dition. GOOD TIME ALLOWBD.
Perhaps tho most glaring Imposition
is the allowance of "good time" to a
prisoner sentenced for life. This Is an
Irregularity, an Inconsistency, a dis
crepancy so dllllcult of mathematical
calculation and logical unalysis tlmt It
Is passed up to Governor Poynter for
un explanation. Is it not u fact that
the "good time" allowed was allowed
so that the convict might bo released
about two years before even the end of
tho commuted sentenco, seven years
nnd six months? Kearns was sen
tenced for life, Governor Poynter com
muted his sentence to seven years and
six months and then, to make matters
worse, reduced his term more than
two years by allowing him "good
time." In other words, tho perpe
trator of ono of the most deliberate
and cold-blooded murders ever com
mitted, who was tried, convicted and
sentenced for life was turned loose
by Governor Poynter Inside of five
years afterward. Kearns wns re
leased from tho penitentiary while the
soil was yet fresh on the grave of his
victim. What Inspired such an net on
tho part of Governor Poynten Is a mys
tery which tho "certificates" of the
warden nnd physician do not satisfac
torily .solve. Kearns himself says that
he had no thought of securing a par
don until Warden Loidlgh broached
tho subject to him. Kearns said that
at tho least he estimated that he
would not be uble to secure recogni
tion In the way of clemency for ten
years. He knew upon what charge he
was convicted and reasonably com
puted his penulty on the sentiment of
society nnd tho exactions of law nnd
order. He know he had committed n
monstrous crlmo and it Is no wonder
tluit ho had spent live years behind
tho bars and expected to serve live
more before ho himself could In his
mind Justify his right to relief. He
knew, too, that his pnrtner, Harry
Hill, no more guilty than he, paid the
penulty with his life. Knowing all
this ho had no reason to expect, and
did not expect, to gain his freedom
Insldo of ten years at best.
Just what caused "Warden Leidigh
and tho prison physlclnn to take such
nn Interest In securing a pardon for
Kenrns, before he had ever asked for
or expected it, is unknown. Why he
wns pardoned by Governor Toynter so
cretly and clandestinely, without no
tlco being given tho people of Cass
county before the pardon wns grautod
as required by law, nllowed "good
time" aud hurried out of the state, hi
also n mystery. The murderer had
wealthy relatives ami It Is presumable
nt least that they had something to' do
with securing his release.
ivearnB says if tils nardon wns
bought and paid for he does not know
It, though he admits that a wealthy
friend from Montanu limned Ilrown
camo to Lincoln and perhnpo "inter
ceded" for him. Kearns has two
uncles In Montnun In the nilulug bus
iness, Patrick aud Michael Kearns,
who are reputed to bo wealthy and It
Is possible that the Mr. "Ilrown" was
none other than Patrick or Michael
Kcarua.
Governor Poynter attempts to play
upon sympnthy by suylng that Kearns
wns dying and tlmt In such enses "hu
manity usually dictated that the pris
oner bo Bont home to die."
Did humanity dictate when poor, old
Matthew Akeson was eruolly murdor
ed In tho presence and tyjfore tho eyes
nf his own family? Wtis It any lens
huuinno for Kearns, with his hands
iteepod In the blood of nn aired nml
I helpless victim, to die in tho pentten
flajy than It wus for Matthew AUeson,
I I
m Hi ..-"". i iBWt JWtyg
who throughout his 00 years of life
hud never wronged n child and who
wns universally esteemed as a good
citizen, to die by the hand of a brutal (
murderer In his own home?
Did humanity dictate to Kearns,
when for the purpose of robbery, lie
entered the Akeson liome nnd shot
down helpless victims?
Governor Poynter tirtsjudges nubile
sentiment when he nsumes to placate
and nppensc It with any such excuse.
MndKenrnsbecn dying and the governor
cw of his own personal knowledge
.hat such wns his condition, he might
anve pur-olod him on the condition that
e bp re-lmprlsoned if ho regained his
henlth. But according to Konrns' own
words, Governor Poynter know noth
ing of his condition nnd the result Is
that Instead of Kearns "going homo
to die," ho is us healthy njpearlng to
day as any man In tho great city of
Ottnwn, ns the following dispatch from
that place clearly shows.
Tho statements made by Kearns
were made to A. II. Taylor of Platts
mouth, who went to Canada and saw
and talked with Kearns. Mr. Taylor
wus bailiff In the court at Plattsmouth
when Kenrns was tried aud had charge
of the prisoner during the trial. Mr.
Taylor Is one of tho oldest nnd nioftl
respected citizens of Cass county nnd
any one who doubts that Kearns is
niivu nun wi-ii win uu cuiiviiiiuu u u' u
contrary by consulting Mr. Tuylor.
Following Is the dispatch:
MUItDKUKU TKLLS HIS STOHY.
Ottawa, Out, Oct. 17. Without even
a blush upon his cheek or trelnor of
his lip, John Uenwell Kcarns, mur
derer of Matthew Akesoil of Cass
county, NelruBka, today told the story
of that shocking tragedy and the story
concerning the manner In which hu
was released from the ienitentlur.v.
Kenrns resides here at 41 Lyon
street with his parents, who keep u
bonrdlng house, lie is employed as
a bookkeeper In the leather nnd har
ness store conducted by S. & II. 15or
brldge, V-8 Hldcnu street. lie has been
employed there over live months, qual
ifying himself in a locnl commercial
college beforehnnd. He was pardoned
out of the penitentiary May 23, 1S!)D.
and "sent home to die," but of the 1(1
months he has been free ho hns de
voted ten months to mental and physi
cal labor and today Is as healthy ap
pearing as any man In this city of 00,
000 people; tall, erect and In fine physi
cal proportion. Nothing Is known here
of his ldstory In Nebraska. The fam
ily guard his record with utmost care.
When Kenrns' household wns visited
Inst night persistent Inquiry failed to
elicit any lnformutlon concerning tho
Identity of the murderer. Kearns aa
mltted that he liud been nway to the
states, but denied ever having been I
In Nebraska. Despite the denials tho
different members of the fmnily ap
peared to be nervous nbout something
nnd this was what enkindled n very i
remote ember of hope In the matter of
solving the mystery.
INVESTIGATION PROVES FACT.
The investigation was renewed bright
nnd early this morning and diligent
efforts, in which assistance was ren
dered by Detective Foster nnd Chief
Sherwood of the Dominion police, re
mit led In such un array of evidence
tlmt Mrs. Kearns, mother of the inur-1
derer, dually acknowledged that he
was the man.
"I have tried to keep the whole thing
a secret from the public," she snld,
"but I see you have the facts pretty
well In hand. John Is working right
nlong and hns a good job."
"How did he happen to get par
doned? was asked.
"I really don't know. I never nsked
for It aud I don't know who did. Ho i
used to work for a rich man named I
Ilrown In Montana, but I do not
know whethor ho helped him out or
not. Yes, I henrd tlmt It wns reported ,
buck In the states that he bought his
pnrdon. I don't know anything about
It. The llrst I knew ho was In prison '
wns when I got n letter stating he was
there and was sontenced for tlireo
years. I wrote to him about two
years later and asked him If he was
soon to be out and ho then wrote me
he was sentenced for life. Ha mis
represented the facts to me In his llrst
letter."
"Do you menu to sny that you aloue
of the family know of his trouble?"
"No; his father knows nbout It and ,
he put In part of tho money to pay Ids
way from thero here. Nobody else
herd In Ottawa knows nbout It and
1 hope nobody elso will." i
DKCLINES TO DIS0US9 PARDON.'
When asked how she heard that the
report wub In circulation that he
bought his pardon she could not say, .
though it is evident that she has boon i
advised by somebody at Lincoln as to '
certain conditions and further udvlsed
to refrnln from tnllclng on this subject.
Sho urtmlted resolving a letter from
Governor Poynter Inst Juno usklng
her to furnish, n physician's certltlcate
us ft hep son's health, but sho failed
to comply with Uio request, ostensibly
for fear tho secret would get out, but
In roallty because tho "dying man"
was lu uxcallaut health and was at
work.
KEARNS TKLLS HIS STORY.
John Kcnrus, the son, after learning
that further efforts to hide his Iden
tity wore useless, made u signed state
ment In substance ns follows: "I wns
pardoned out of the penitentiary May
L'.'l, IS!)D. I h-nl been sick prior to that
time, but was convalescing nt tho time
I was pardoned. I was kept In the
ho. pllitl up o the time I wns released,
but I wnp up and around four weeks
before. Of course, as long us they let
mi stay theie I would have been a fool
to have asked to go hack to tho coll."
"Who Interceded for you or asked
for your pardon?."
"I do not know. Ilrown of Montana
was down to see me once, but I don't
know whether he made any special
effort to get me out."
"Is Is not a fact that Brown's money
Inspired your pardon?"
LEIDIGH SUGGESTED IT TO IIIM.
"I could not say. I know tlmt there
was considerable talk about prisoners
getting out through Influence nnd tho
use' of money, but I can't sny in my
ense. Wniden Leidigh is tho llrst innn
that ever mentioned pardon to me. 1
had flgiwd that I was there for ten
years at lccst nnd 1 never hoped or
thought of getting out sooner. I never
dreamed of pardon or thought I would
tfet one until n few weeks before I
got It. Governor Poynter did not see
me but once after I was convicted and
that was one day when he wns thero
on a visit. He did not know of his
personal knowledge what my condi
tion was at the time I was pardoned.
"Leidigh hnd n good pull with hint
nnd he helped me out. I wrote a let
ter thanking 'them both on rnchlng
here. I wns releused late im.dto after
noon and was taken to tha depot in
u carriage. They bought mo a ticket
through to Ottuw.i and I lost no tlmo
In getting inwiy. At Chicago I bought
n suit of clothes and sold my prison
eult to n sccond-hnnd dealer.
"I had a good appetite the last four
weeks I wis In the penitentiary hos
pital and was getting on my feet when
1 got out. My hemorrhages stopped
long before I was pardoned nnd I liuvo
never had any since," he said, with a
squint of the eye.
"You nre n pretty rugged looking
corpse," was remarked.
"Yes, I urn in pretty fair shape,
though I don't feel exactly like my
former' self."
"Is that not duo to worrlinent and
thoughts about the awful crime you
committed?"
"Well, there are some things that
worry mo aside from the condition of
my henlth. Of them I would rather
not speak."
"When did you last hear from Ne
braska?" "About 12 weeks ngo, Mother got
a letter from Governor Toynter, In
which he nsked for u physician's cer
tificate. She tore tho letter up, or I
would show It to you. She asked mo
what to do abort It, und I told her to
do the best she could for him, for I
thought he wanted to use it in poll
tics, and us he had helped mo out I
wanted to help him out. Mother an
swered tho letter, but 1 think the cer
tlllcute wus never sent. 1 hnvo, worked
steadily for over five months since I
got a job und have not lost a day. As
to the pardon, 1 can only say that I
owe my sucess in regaining my lib
erty to Leidigh and governor Poynter.
How or why the scheme to get me a
pardon started before I or any of my
relatives a&kod for one 1 cannot ex
plain. It may have started while I
was sick, but at the time it was grunt
ed I wus recovering rapidly. If thero
wns such a thing as money used to get
It, it wns without my knowledge. No
doubt such things hnvo been done nt
that same place, but I can't say It wus
lu my case."
"How did you happen to give your
name us lionwell when you were ar
rested?" "The other follow gave tho name of
Harry Hill. That was not his right
immo. Noticing that ho gave a wrong
name I gave ono too. I knew, how
ever, thnt if I was caught nt It that
an nuns would make it hard for me,
so 1 gave my name as John Benwell
Kearns. When you came to the house
last evening I thought that you want
ed me for some railroad job. While I
was In tho pcnlteutlnry u railroad de
tective had mo connected with a Job
thnt hud been dono nnd I expected
you Intended to prosecute mo should
I ever get out.
"When I got out It wns so arranged
thnt nobody should know It, and my
first thought last night wns thut ho
had followed mo up. I wns moro In
terested In keeping my Identity a se
cret on that account than on accouut
of notoriety.
"I have nothing to sny nbout tho
Cass county affiUp," camo the roply
when asked about it. "I was con
victed, sent to the penltentlnry and
pnrdoned. Thut Is tho story of
record nnd thut Is nil tho lUory I'll
give you. I mu a free man, and I
hope to get along ns If nathlrjg of tho
kind had ever happened. I wlf) forgot
It, whether other people do or not."
WHAT THEY TfIIKK OF KEARNS.
"There foes a ruiip with straws and
nwiwinj"i fjj4 ryg
dangerous criminal itr'tlnet!'," remark
ed Detective Forter, one of the shrewd
est ofllcers of the Dominion of Cannda,
as Kearns left the room. "I think so
ciety Is better off without such char
acters. Look at his firm Jaw. low fore
head and cat-like eyes. I'll watch thnt
mnti from this on, Hint's certain." It
Is evident from Kenrns' conversation
thnt he did not tell nil he knew In con
nection with the purdop. It Is qulto
evident thnt the murder of old niit.i Ake
son Is not the only crime which con
cerns hlin. That he committed other
crimes for which he hns never atoned
or been nppreheuded Is quit" ccrtnin.
Nevertheless ho drosses well, loolfs
trim ns n successful stock brokernud
outside of his fnmily, Chief Sherwood
nnd Detective Foster nobody he're In
Ottawa knows nny of his dark history.
Ho weighs nbout 1R0 pounds ttiftls u
perfect picture of the Ideal emote.
Kearns incidentally spoke of affairs
connected with the mnnngentent3 of
tho penitentiary, and said that officials
nnd 'attaches smuggled In opium,
whisky nnd morphine to certain in
mntes nnd sold it to them. It is n
common thing, he snld. for them to
take money nway from prisoners, nnd
while the law Is that this "money
should go Into the library fund most
of It went Into pockets of oflicinls and
employes.
IT IS BOGUS.
Frank Curpenter, llrst vice president
of the Antl-Snloon League, and a
member of tho Carpenter Paper com
pany of Omuhn, one of the largest con
cerns of this kind In the west, when
usked if the league had authorized
Thomas Darnull to issue and send out
clrculurs urging temperance voters to
vote against Charles II. Dietrich, said:
"Positively no. On the other hnud 1
consider Mr. Dietrich un Inmost nnd
thorough business man und u very
good citizen. lie would make an ex
cellent governor."
