Prison life for Diamondfield Jack Davis after pardon
The state board of pardons unanimously commuted Diamondfield Jack Davis’s hanging sentence to life imprisonment. Davis, convicted in 1897 for the February 4, 1896 murder of two sheepmen in Cassia county, had long pursued a pardon with former accomplices confessing in 1858. The board cited doubt over Davis’s guilt, and traveling guards were sent to Cassia to transport him to the penitentiary.
