A CASE FOR PARDON.

The Governors pardon was yesterday
issued TO P. C. Kanard. OF Mcdowell couu-
ty. and il ever the executive clemency was
extended in q meritorious case it was in
this one. Kanard was convicted last Feb
ruary of the horrible aud unnatural crime
OF sodomy and vas sentenced to Is months
Imprisonment in the county Jail and to
pay a fine of 500. FROM the papers now
on file it seems that he is q man over 70
years of age, with family entirely depend
ent on him. The jury, judge, prosecuting
attorney and others petition for the pardon
but among the papers is most singular
che. 1t is an affidavit of S. Anthony, on
whom the crime was alleged to have been
committed. He says that his evidence
given in the trial was wholly untrue and
given in feeling Of prejudice and revenge
which he now regrets and for which he is
willing the law should take its course as
far as he is concerned" OF course, under
the circumstances, the Governor issued his
PARDON, and if the mails are regular the
document will reach Wyoming in time to
slow Kanard to eat his Christmas dinner
at home.

even il her husband had fallen in with her
plan to assume the duties her sister had
relieved her Of that she would have had
strength to persevere in them. Even when
she flies to the arms OF her lover she IS
hardly content, for her heart is in Paris
and the pleasure of that gay capital. Al
though we may weep over her fate, we feel
that such destiny was inevitable to heart
