I murdered a ring legend,pardoned years ago?

After a life sentence for a murder of a famous fighter I was pardoned after serving 23 years...Who was I ?

 

Walter Dipley.

 

Another one involving Ketchel!

 

Walter Dipley, #12241, became a cobbler in prison. He spent some time in solitary confinement for inciting a riot and for possession of narcotics. He was paroled by Governor Guy Park in 1934 after serving 23 years, and died from kidney disease in 1956.

Was that a shot in the dark Henry?

 

hh and you guys got it..Walter Dipley, infamous murderer of Stanley Ketchel.
In 1934 when Dipley was pardoned, there was fear that surviving friends of Ketchel
would avenge Stanley's murder, but it didn't happen.The murderer Dipley lived to 1956.
I suppose time softens all wounds !

 

What was the reason for the pardon?

 

hh would know the reason for the pardon in 1934...Probably a bleeding
heart judge....
