Three paroles and one commutation

and paroles today out of a list of 30
applications heard last week."
Morris Katleman and "Red" Neal,
.sentenced from Omaha to one to
seven years in the state penitentiary
for aiding and abetting automobile
thefts, were given paroles. Tliey were
denied paroles' by the board last
winter.
Attorney General Davis filed a dis
senting opinion. .
;.,r Law Not Satisfied.
Neal and Katleman, who have been
in prison a little over a year, have
not served time enough to satisfy
the law and public opinion, the at
torney general held in his dissenting
opinion.
Present times are such, he declared,
that it behooves exceeding care not
to create in the mind of the people
that the state is not at all times able
and ready to punish the guilty.
In announcing the decision of the
board to parole Neal and Katleman
Governor McKelvie, chairman,
pointed out these two men have bee;i
model prisoners at the prison and
that there were no objections offered
the board at the hearing last week
against granting the applications.
' Frank O. Green, 36, negro, serving
life sentence for the murder of his
wife in 1914, was granted a commu
tation to IS years by the board on
the, recommendation of officials of
the Omaha National bank, where
Green worked as a night watchman.
Testimony at the hearing last
Tuesday was that Green killed his
wife while intoxicated and enraged
at her alleged infidelity. Whe.i
questioned by the board at the hear
ing Green declined to attack his dead
wife's character, declaring "she is
not here to defend herself."
Youth Is Paroled.
" Charles H. Brown, ,21, serving
three to IS years for burglary, on the
South Side, in Omaha, was granted
a parole, to be", effective as soon as j
suitable arrangements can be made.
His parole was recommended by H.
C.v Murphy, South Side attorney,
who appeared at the hearing last
week in behalf of the youth's mother,
who is a washeroman who works
for the attorney's family.
;.The application of Ernest Kenni
ston, 53, the oldest inmate of -the
state prison, sent up for the .murder
of Sax Cox, Minatare, Neb., news
paper man in the early days, was
denied.
Third Application.

in 1906 and has but three mors years
to serve. Kenniston was a hotel
owner in Minatare at the time of

Continued Heat
Of Last 5 Days
Tops May Record
Longest Stretch of Sweltering
Heat in May in History of
Federal Weather Bureau.
All May heat records have been
shattered by continued high temper
atures of the last five days.
Weatherman Robins of the federal
bureau was unable to find any record
of temperatures ranging 90 degrees
or above for five successive days in
May of any year.
Moreover, he was unable to fore
cast any relief for heat-ridden
Omaha.
At 10 a. fn. yesterday the tempera
ture was 77 degrees above and the
maximum was 92 at 2 p. m. Heavy
thunder showers late in the day
cooled the atmosphere slightly.
The heat wave which has held the
city in its torrid grip started Friday,
with a high temperature of 92 above
zero. The minimum temperature on
Friday was 68.
Saturday the mercury rose to 90
above, with a minimum of 70, Sun
day 92 maximum and 7 minimum,
Monday 92 and 75 and Tuesday 91
and 73.
Although the continued heat has
broken all records the high tempera
ture for a single day has broken no
May records. Back on May 14, 1917,
the mercury rose to 96 degrees
above, the highest temperature for
that entire summer.
Good rains throughout the north
eastern and central parts of the state
occurred Tuesday night, according to
reports to the federal bureau, and al
though temperatures have been high
throughout the state there is no sign
of drouth, according to Mr. Robins.
