Spokane Minister's Son Has High Officials' Names on Petition.

Pardon is being sought for a preacher's son, who pleaded guilty to horse-stealing because his father told him to so plead.

The boy is James Barrow, serving sentence from Spokane county for three years and six months at the penitentiary near Walla Walla while his partner, the man accused of originating the crime, was sentenced to one year. The boy is the son of Rev. P. B. Barrow, of Spokane, a minister, member of the G.A.R. and former member of the Mississippi legislature. The pardon application as presented to Governor Mead is signed by Trial Judge Richardson, Prosecuting Attorney Kimball, Mayor Floyd Daggett, ex-Mayor P. A. Byrne, ex-Senator George Turner, Frank Graves, Senator Heyburn, of Idaho; Judges Prather and Buck and a long list of city and county officials and citizens.
