Long Petition Pilgrimage Wins Clemency for Dietz
Leslie Dietz completed an 11000 mile foot pilgrimage to gather support for his father John Dietz, the Cameron dam outlaw. Governor McGovern commuted the life sentence to 20 years enabling parole after four years. Dietz collected 3900000 signatures and presented them to President Wilson, with 29 governors and numerous lawmakers among signers. The case traces back to 1911 when Dietz resistedLogging Co. efforts and a deadly clash left Dietz’s cabin under fire and a deputy killed.
