It is said that Governor Drake will be petitioned to pardon President B. F. Boomer, of the Bank of Waukon, convicted of receiving a deposit when he knew the bank was insolvent. The District Court sentenced him to imprisonment in Anamosa penitentiary for five years. The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment and Boomer was placed in prison. The sheriff took Boomer to the penitentiary as a visitor and the warden showed them through. Then the visitor's returner to the hotel. The sheriff handed the commitment papers to Boomer and left for home. Boomer walked back to the prison alone, handed out the papers and, through a flood of tears, told the warden the story of his disgrace.
