Show New Body as Pardon Plea. Joseph Kirwin, sentenced at Cleveland, Cleve-land, O.. in 1903 to life imprisonment in Leavenworth (Kan.) prison for robbery rob-bery on the great lakes, has appealed for a pardon on the ground that a complete com-plete change in the tissues of the body which scientists say occurs every se-en se-en years, has cured him of a crime mania which caused him to commit the offense of which he was found guilty. While under the charge of robbery on the lakes, which is akin to piracy, Kirwin was tried on a charge of smothering to death a young woman wom-an found dead in Cleveland. |
