Gentlemen: In re Max Mason

Referring to your inquiry regarding the attitude of this office toward the granting of a parole to the above named defendant, I beg to say that on two occasions in reply to inquiries from the Board of Pardons I advised and recommended the exercise of clemency, and I am of the opinion that if the defendant’s record while in the institution warranted the granting of a parole, I know of nothing in connection with the case which would warrant my recommending against such action. In fact, I have been hopeful that some clemency would have been extended to this defendant long ere now.

Yours very truly,

Mason M. Forbes
