A pardon restoring full citizen

life anew.
E. B. Kluckholm, vice president
of the Seattle, Wash., First Na

said he had personally known
Eagleston for five years and had
handled “a number of business
transactions for him.” He said
Eagleston had conducted his busi
ness transactions in a business
like manner.”
Another petitioner. F. W. Far
now, manager of the American
Smelting and Refining Company
at San Francisco, said of Eagles
ton: “He is a man of high business
principles and his honesty and in
tegrity are above reproach.”
A Seattle attorney, Sam A.
Wright, said he and Eagleston
had been boyhood friends in the
1890’s in Nebraska, and “I feel he
has thoroughly rehabilitated him
self.”
Harry I. O’Neill of Anchorage
said Eagles'on “always conducted
himself as a reliable citizen and
successful businessman.”

building up his community and
holds the respect of those with
whom he has had any business re
lations.”

“I am certain you know how
sorry I must be to let the cham
