HISTORICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES The Missouri Constitution states: “The governor shall have power to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, after conviction, for all offenses except treason and cases of impeachment, upon such conditions and with such restrictions and limitations as he may deem proper, subject to provisions of law as to the manner of applying for pardons” (Article IV, Section 7). The Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo 217.800) require that all applications for pardons, commutations, and reprieves be referred to the Board of Probation and Parole for investigation; the board then submits a report and non-binding recommendation to the governor. Early pardons, however, were handled entirely within the governor’s office. Approved files are sent to the Office of the Secretary of State for a certificate to be issued. After 1993, the board no longer sent supporting documentation and only the certificate was filed. Although the distinction is sometimes blurred, there are basically three types of pardons: commutations of sentence, restorations of citizenship, and pardons. Commutations of sentence, which reduce the original sentence whether it was from hanging to life or reduced the number of years imprisoned, was its own series from 1847 to 1985; from thereon out, commutations are found intermingled with the pardons. Restorations of citizenship primarily impact suffrage but the right to vote is now automatic after the convict is released from prison and is no longer on probation or parole (RSMo 115.133). A pardon itself is normally considered an expungement of the original conviction and in most cases is awarded for good behavior after the prisoner has been released, but in a few cases it has been awarded for proven or perceived innocence of the original charge. For instance, Johnny Lee Wilson was pardoned by Governor Mel Carnahan in what his staff determined to be a false confession made by a man with diminished mental capacity. Pardons were granted for crimes ranging from speeding to capital murder. Those pardons granted for minor infractions are often so that the applicant may seek employment in professions such as police or the military that bar convictions. For instance, a rash of pardon requests in the late 1960s were for traffic violations so the applicant could become Missouri State Archives Page 2 of 341 Finding Aid 5.20 PARDONS a highway patrolman. Another reason for seeking a pardon, such as the case of Antonino Mormino in 1972, was to avoid deportation. In one unusual case in 1968, a pardon was granted to a deceased man, Harry Jack Hoefeler, Jr., to lessen the grief of his parents and remove the stain on the family honor. The number of pardons issued by governors for all states, including Missouri, plunged in the latter part of the 20th century, in part after it became a hot political issue in the 1988 presidential election after a furloughed prisoner from Massachusetts went on a murderous rampage. What once was a routine action of the executive branch as a check and balance on the judicial system is now considered a rare occurrence. ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION Related Material A related series called Record of Pardons Issued consists of eight volumes dated 1873- 1936 that have been microfilmed (S50-S53). Also, there is one volume of bound Applications for Pardons dated 1893-1898 and a one-volume Register of Restoration of Citizenship dated 1911-1971. Commutations of Sentence can be found from 1847-1985 (bulk from 1891) as its own series. Missouri State Archives Page 3 of 341 Finding Aid 5.20 PARDONS PARDONS, 1836-2018 Arrangement: Chronologically by date filed Scope and Content Each pardon file usually includes an application giving details of the offense and personal information about the applicant. Petitions and correspondence evaluate the applicant’s character and health and may describe mitigating factors in the case. Trial transcripts and affidavits and depositions concerning the advisability of clemency may be included. Files may also contain reports and recommendations from the warden, the Prison Board, or the Board of Probation and Parole. For certain pardons in 1980 and from 1993, the file includes only the certificate without any supporting documentation. Gaps in the series are found between 1876 and 1891, between 1852 and 1857, and for the year 1964. A few stray pardons from these years are found in a later addition (Box 164). In the mid-19th century, there are some presidential pardons for prisoners housed in the Missouri penitentiary. Some commutations and at least one extradition can also be found in these papers.

  • JM Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston
    1 'Presences of the Infinite': J. M. Coetzee and Mathematics Peter Johnston PhD Royal Holloway University of London 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Peter Johnston, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Dated: 3 Abstract This thesis articulates the resonances between J. M. Coetzee's lifelong engagement with mathematics and his practice as a novelist, critic, and poet. Though the critical discourse surrounding Coetzee's literary work continues to flourish, and though the basic details of his background in mathematics are now widely acknowledged, his inheritance from that background has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive and mathematically- literate account. In providing such an account, I propose that these two strands of his intellectual trajectory not only developed in parallel, but together engendered several of the characteristic qualities of his finest work. The structure of the thesis is essentially thematic, but is also broadly chronological. Chapter 1 focuses on Coetzee's poetry, charting the increasing involvement of mathematical concepts and methods in his practice and poetics between 1958 and 1979. Chapter 2 situates his master's thesis alongside archival materials from the early stages of his academic career, and thus traces the development of his philosophical interest in the migration of quantificatory metaphors into other conceptual domains. Concentrating on his doctoral thesis and a series of contemporaneous reviews, essays, and lecture notes, Chapter 3 details the calculated ambivalence with which he therein articulates, adopts, and challenges various statistical methods designed to disclose objective truth.
