Trial Judge
Wm Cant, Duluth
The
condition of defendant both physically and mentally is good except
that he is
evidently somewhat unsophisticated and perhaps easily led. He is not
lacking
in ordinary mental qualities. Disposition is good so far as we know; he
has
no bad habits.

School Secretary Good—4th Grade
Reformatory
Physician Health good—mind dull
Officer in charge Robbins
In my
charge 18 months. Conduct and disposition good, general
bearing very good,
attitude toward work good.
State Agent
A foolish boy who followed the
crowd and was identified. Probably made
a good deal of noise, but not more
guilty than any others. I think he might be
paroled if his uncle will give
him a place on his farm outside Duluth.
Deportment record
One report
for scuffling in kitchen, 9/27/21
5148-Hammerberg, Carl John Alfred 2 June 19.
Desires
parole.
Resons: I feel a better man not than when I cam in. I know it
was rong [sic] to go up there, but I didn’t when it happened. My mother is
a widow and needs my help. I’ll not get in any more
trouble.
Second appearance before the Board of Parole.
Parole
denied 12/28/21.
State Agent Knickerbacker: Carl John Hammerberg, true
name, age 20. From St Louis Co for rioting—was in that Negro hanging. I
rode the truck that was being run around town before it happened and was inside
the jail. Did not do anything in the jail, just stood there to see what they
were going to do. On the truck I was just standing and talking to my pals, did
not do any hollering or anything. Twenty-one were arrested, three convicted. The
others are out now. Never arrested before. Did not use liquor. Home in Duluth.
Never traveled or tramped. Never in Army or Navy. Can get work on an
uncle’s farm.
