Taft Grants Mercy in Pardon for New York Man
Taft commuted a six month sentence and $100 fine for Lor Mae Zelt of New York City who faced charges of removing cigars and fraud related to unpaid internal revenue. The pardon, largely due to family location and time served, was recommended by the district judge and Attorney General officials. A separate pardon spared another man in the Southern District of New York from prison terms and fines tied to internal revenue fraud.
