Orchard Clemency Appeal in Major Criminal Case
Judge Fremont Wood recommends partial immunity for defendant Orchard, citing good faith in disclosures of a long crime spree from 1892 to 1905. He argues immunity aligns with law and moral duty, urges commutation and death-penalty remission, and notes the broader impact on prosecutions of arson and murder tied to industrial war.
