terday the Board Of Pardon Commits
sloners at Carson, by unanimous de-
cision, pardoned Robert Dedman, re-
storing him to the full rights Of citizen
ship. For the information of those not
conyersant with the circumstances, we
will state that Dedman was sentenced
to the State Prison for life, some two
years ago, for the killing Of 4 young
man named Springer, at the Grecian
Bend saloon, Virginia. Springer was
dancing with Grace Kerrison, when,
prompted by jealousy, Dedman, who
was tending bar, came up hehind
Springer and beat him over the head
with a s~ix-shooter. knocking him down
and fracturing his skull so that he died
q day or two afterward in consequence:
Dedman was not otherwise considered
a bad man by any means, and while In
prison his conduct was Of the most ex-
emplary nature. The principal reason
Of his pardon, however, was his highly
msritorious action on the occasion OF
the recent terrible break at the prison,
when t~wenty.nine of the ~convicts
escaped, shooting the guard and all
others who opposed them. Dedman
fought bravely by the side OF Lieut.
Gov. Denver, using chairs or anything
else he could get hold of, knocking the
assailing desperadoes down, and de-
Tending Denver from further harm
after he was shot and badly wounded.
Dedman could have escaped at that
time lust as we'll as not, but he pre-
ferred to remain and endure his sem
tence. A few days agoa petition ior
his pardon, numerously signed oy
prominent citizens and business mel
Of Virginia aud Gold Hill was sent 70

and the result Is as stated. Dedman
IL q good-looking, smart young man;

bad associations, he will DO we'll
enough. He has n promising uture
before him and should profit well oy
the rare opportunity so generously
offered him.
