The state board of pardons closed its June session with pardons for John Warren and John Hawley of Fairfield County.

The board cited a deathbed confession by Hawley’s sister-in-law, admitting she and Hawley’s wife murdered the Shelton woman, leading to Hawley’s release. George Redding of New Haven and Kate Cobb received no relief.
