THE HUNTINGTON BURGLAR



Gov. Jackson yesterday pardoned J. II.
Webb, the famous Huntington bank robber,
convicted OF burglary in 1875. by the Circuit
Court of Cabell county and sentenced TO four
teen years imprisonment In the Penitentiary
at Moundsyille. He had served about half
his term.
The pardon was foresbadowed as probable
in the Moundsville correspondence OF the
IHrILIIGEScER sevaral days ago 1t was
granted on account Of Webb's failing health.
Representations having been made to the
Governor week or two ago that Webb was
suffering from pulmonary disease, and that
longer confinement would necessarily prove
fatal, he requested Drs. ]. II. Reeves and X.
s. Harvey, OF this city, DR.. Barbee, Of the
Senate, and DR.. Bruce, the Penitentiary
physician, TO examine him thorough.
iy and report II the statements about
his condition were true. They did 80, and
corroborated the reports. In addition TO this,
Superintendent West certified to his good
conduct, and expressed the opinion that In
his case the ends Of justice had been attained.
In addition, a large number OF prominent
citizens OF the State, including the Prosecu.
ting Attorney Of Cabell county, at the time
Webb was convicted, the present Attorney,
the Judge OF the Circuit court and others,
petitioned for his pardon, and 1t was In re-
sponse TO all these petitions and represents
tons that the pardon was Issued.
The history OF Webbs crime and capture
Is an interesting Que The Huntington bank
was broken iuto and robbed OF a large sum
OF money. The burglars were pursued, and
Webb was captured and another Of the party
shot and killed. The latter was recognized
as a member OF the James Brothers gang OF
outlaws, and the robbery has always been as.
cribed to that Notorious baud. Webb has
been very reticent since his confinement
never making any admission or denial Of his
alleged connection with tie James boys. His
history, so far as known, has frequently been
printed in the local press, and is familiar to
readers hereabout.
