Pardon petition for Andrew Koerner seeks mercy
A plea for clemency moves forward for Andrew Koerner, now serving a life term in the Michigan City prison for the murder of his wife Mary Koerner. The case, tried after a 19th century trial that ended in a death sentence later commuted, cites repeated quarrels and a night of disturbances culminating in her death by a poker blow. Evidence included neighbors' observations, a witness hearing Koerner walking at night, and shoe prints matching his wooden-soled footwear. The governor commuted the original death sentence to imprisonment.
