Prisoner Tells Life Story Before Parole Bid
A. B. Wagner, seeking clemency, told Judge Boies through attorney J. C. Murtagh of a life history to support a parole request. He admitted taking $75.60 from the Irving hotel cash register on May 26, 1916 to pay for his sister’s operation in St Paul, detailing a troubled past and travels from St Paul to hotel work in Davenport, Mason City, Spirit Lake, Elbow Lake, and St Paul before his arrest. The court planned a December 27 sentence after investigation, with a possible parole if no prior offenses emerge. Other guilty pleas followed. Curley Shields and Julian Alba entered pleas, while cases against Loren Risk and Dr Anna Longshore Moon were continued to January, clearing the fall docket.
