Council Refuses to Pardon King
The council could not agree on restrictions for a pardon and did not consider an unconditional pardon. Lieutenant-Governor Walsh favored a restricted pardon to return King if well enough, while others opposed any release. King's supporters hoped for five votes, but the council vote left the matter open to potential future restrictions from Governor Foss.

Foss Drops Case in King Pardon Bid Five to Three Vote Ends Hope
Governor Foss says the Boston Post reports that the Massachusetts Governor's Council rejected both conditional and unconditional pardons for Cardenio F King. King and his wife Mollie lament the setback, which follows a day together at Bridgewater State Infirmary as King endures a grave illness. King vows to continue seeking release to die at home with family, while Mrs King hopes for a future appeal despite the grim news. Local officials facilitated access and emotional support for the couple amid the disappointment.
