Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-03-11

Court has rendered q verdict in the case OF
Foley and George Tracy appellants. These
men were implicated ia robbery in Virginia
City some months ago on the Testimony OF
Charlas Roper, an sx convist. Col Taylor,
for the defendent, found that Roper had
served a term in San Qaintin for burg larry
in 1877, and held that his evidence not
admissible. The prosecution showed that he
had received a pardon for his crime and was
thus restored to the rights of citizenship.
| The defense then found another conviction
which Roper had not been pardonsd. The
Supreme Court held that the rulings admit
ting the pardon IN evidence were correct but
that the pardon only covered the otfense fer
burglary, committed in 1877, and had no ref
erence to the crime of grand larceny III 1875 ;
that hence the position of the witness was
that of man guilty offslony and snpardoned,
aud that therefore the witness was not Gem
petent to tes ify. The judgement of the lower
court is reversed and = new trial ordered.
others concurring. While this is all strict
conformity with law, it seems rather curious
that a crime comm tied ia 1876 could have
any poss, BILE effect upon freeing criminal in
1881.
