STATE OF MINNESOTA
STATE BOARD OF CONTROL
Bemidji, Minnesota
Mason (6785) June
21st -1925
C J Swendsen, Chairman,
State Board of
Parole,
Saint Paul, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:-
As per the attached I
interviewed Judge Nelson at Worthington some time ago and he wrote his opinion
regarding Max Mason (6785) and the same was forwarded to you. I saw Mr. Mason M.
Forbes, the prosecutor on the June 12th and his recommendation in
writing is herewith attached.
Mr. Forbes is very well known in northern
Minnesota and elsewhere and has considerable influence among members of the bar.
he is not altogether in accord with the indeterminate sentence law or the Board
of Parole and I would respectfully suggest that Mr. Forbes be asked to attend a
session of the Parole Board at Stillwater. He is not all backward about
expressing his views and I am sure he has the wrong impression as to the
functioning of the Board of Parole.
Respectfully yours,
State Parole Agent
