PRISON SCENE IFFECTIXG.
Immediately upon signing the pat
don Governor i droit and Don I, fp
I John, private secretary of the execu
tive, went to the penitentiary. There
they were joined by Louis Compton,
I warden of the prison; Percy Varriey,
parole officer, James Lewis, deput)
warden, J. O. Murray, bookkeeper, and
E. C. Hawley, principal keeper Pcn
: tier was called Into the office of the
prison.
"I want to discuss some circum
stances of your case," said Governor
Olcott, as Pender entered the room
and occupied a chair. Then, taking
an envelope from his pocket, the go. -ernor
handed it 0 Pender and asked
that he read its contents. A. Pender
read the words "Unconditional Par
don"' his Vpice choked and his eyes
J filled with tears.
("1 appreciate your kindness," said
fender to Governor Olcott, "and 1
want to say that you never will regret
I your action."
Time and again during the conver
sation that followed Pender men
Honed his mother, whom he said he
would strive to repay for her many
years of mental sufterihg.

The Portland Sunday i iregonian,
under date of September 1 L' Says:
A heart filled with mother love
choked last night when Mrs S
Tender, 70 -year-old mother of John
I Arthur Pender, collapsed in the arms
of her son aboard an uregon electric
I train. John Pender, freed from a life
sentence for a murder of which he
was convicted on circumstantial evi
, deuce, was hastening to the side of
i his mother when thev met on the train
I as it arrived in Portland
John Pender, over six feet tall,
Is iped his mother In his arms and
i for minutes In the doorwaj of the
train neither could n.ove nor utter a
I syllable The conductor, who knew ,
just smiled and held back those who
didn't understand.
! "Nearly nine years behind the bars
What did it mean .' Maybe 1 can un
iwer that when 1 say if someone of
fered me all the wealth In the world
and all the power of all the nations. I
wouldn't go through it again." That
was the epitomized sentiment of Pen-
I der.
win: imi vr erpaiwiM
"I bear no malice: I seek no re
venge. 1 have mj boy, and my heart
Is filled with happiness." That Is the
message lo the mother.
The welcome for Pender was marred
just a little l, the absence of bis wife.
She is a nurse und, having been as
signed a cusp, could not leave her pa
tient to welcome her husband.
Lying In a little brass bed In her
room at titil Hoyt street, Mrs. Pender,
the mother, dreamed night before last,
that Arthur was free "
I saw him at the door," she said
"lie stood there in his prison clothes
and I said; Arthur, how did you get
here?' und he replied, 'My friends did
it all ' "
And, continuing, as most mothers
mlht do. but coming from dream
land to reality last evening as she
hurried to board the train on which
her son was coming to Portland, she
added :
W hat with this rain and all, I won
der if he is dressed warmly
"I have spent my all In trying to
fr.-.- John," she said ' 1 have lost the

Mr Logan was excused from partici
