Dear madam:-
Answering yours in re MAX MASON, pardon
file #5702,
beg to say that we have no recommendation to make
either for or against the exercise of clemency in this case.
The defendant was rather unfortunate in that he was the
only men of the colored men involved who was convicted.
Personally I never was of the impression that the evidence
was any too strong in his case, and if he had been a white
man I an (sic) rather doubtful if he would have been
convicted.
Yours very truly,
Mason M.
