A petition for the pardon of Mrs. Mary A. Walence of Linden Street, signed by Mayor Henry J. Toepfert, Senator Frank Hurley, Representatives Charles D. Chevalier, William E. Kirkpatrick and Francis Clark, and many of the prominent local people, was filed with Governor Joseph B. Ely at Boston today by Atty. Thomas C. Maher, who defended Mrs. Walence on a murder charge in the trial held in Springfield last March.
