Government Records
The application form includes full name, age, birth date and place, nationality of parents, occupation(s) and residence(s) for the five years preceding conviction, trial data (date, court, crime, sentence), succinct statement of trial evidence (often a separate narrative appended to the application), reasons/justification for which the pardon is being requested, and sometimes a certified copy of the pardon or commutation (if granted).
One numerical sequence (1915-1934); six alphabetical sequences whose date spans overlap (representing various cullings from current files); and one box of application miscellany that have not been connected to specific files.
Access to the 1988 files is restricted due to the presence of Social Security numbers and several sets of sealed court records. Researchers may apply to use these records in accordance with the State Archives guidelines. The remainder of the collection is not restricted and the files are open for use per Minnesota Statute 638.07 (1980).
Access to and use of reserve materials requires the permission of State Archives staff.

In 1899, Senator George P. Wilson attempted to pass a bill that would allow parole of convicts who had been sentenced to the State Prison for the remainder of their natural life. The bill, drawn by George M. Bennett, passed the Senate 48 to 5 but was defeated in the House 31 to 68. Wilson had been Attorney General at the time of the raid and assisted with the prosecution of the Youngers in 1876. Most of the following 1889 items may have inspired Wilson's efforts a decade later.

Prosecuting attorney during the Youngers’ trial. He went to Northfield at that time to get evidence to indict them for shooting the Swede [Nicolaus Gustavson] and could find no one who knew if he was killed by the robbers’ or citizens’ fire so it was decided it was a stray bullet and no indictment was found.
Much of this material was stamped on the back upon receipt by the Board of Pardons. When applicable, the file date has been listed.

Thank you for pardoning the “James” boys. Very rambling letter full of religious allusions.
"Thank you for the pardon [i.e., parole], now please allow them to return to Missouri."
Asks for conditional or unconditional pardon on the grounds of poor health, true reformation, and demonstrated evidence of his desire and purpose to live an honest and self-supporting life; difficulty in earning a living in a harsh climate; readiness and willingness to submit to any limitations or restrictions imposed by the Pardon Board; and since the death of brother Jim Younger, the stronger need for home and family.
Pardon on the condition that he immediately leave Minnesota and never voluntarily come back and that he place on file with the Governor his written promise to never exhibit himself or allow himself to be exhibited where a charge is made for admission. Signed by members of the Pardon Board—Samuel R. Van Sant, Governor, Charles M. Start, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and Wallace B. Douglas, Attorney General.
"I, T. C. Younger, do here by promise upon my honor that I will never exhibit myself, or allow myself to be exhibited, as an actor or participant, in an public performance, museum, circus, theatre, opera house, or any other place of public amusement or assembly where admission is charged."
Signed by Cole Younger and Governor Van Sant.
States Cole has maintained the conditions of his parole and is in poor health.
States Cole has carried out the conditions of his parole.
While a state agent for the prison, he observed that Cole was always an exemplary prisoner.
Concerns his 1903 written agreement about exhibitions. He has been a proprietor of a show but not a participant, contrary to what the governor may have heard. Is asking for the conditions of his pardon to be dropped since people misunderstand them and think he is still on parole and still a prisoner who can’t sign contracts, etc. A full pardon would make his life easier.
Former governor of Missouri. Asked by Cole to write and urge the unconditional pardon. Is in full support of it.
Supports an unconditional pardon. Writing as a citizen, not a fee-charging attorney.
