Executive Clemency

Mrs. Anna Hozer, of Muskegon, Mich., had eleven children. Several months ago she violated the Volstead Act, and was committed to the county jail. President Harding commuted her six months' sentence before its completion, because of the impending arrival of a twelfth Hozer. The twelfth Hozer arrived duly, and was christened Warren Harding. In celebration of the event Mrs. Hozer again violated the Volstead Act. Mrs. Hozer and Warren Harding Hozer went again to jail. She said that she hoped again for Executive clemency. After a few days she complained to the jail authorities of being ill. They allowed her to go home for the night. When they called for her the next morning they found her gone. She and Warren Harding Hozer had started to Washington in search of clemency.
