A special from Folsom, CAL, says the
nrison directors, at a meeting Saturday,
took their first action under the parole
law. A prisoner under sentence from
Shasta county for murder was granted
a parole, and John Mackey will give
him employment and be responsible for
him. A Pitt river Indian chief was also
naroled. He was sentenced for killing
y medicine man who had failed to cure
his tthe chief 81 brother. This was the
custom of the tribe, but the people OF
Modoc wanted to put stop to it and
caused the chief to be arrested and
prosecuted. The superior judge and
others, believing the desired end to have
been reached, recommended the chief g
parole. The application of Calvin Pratt,
the emhezzler, was referred by Gov
ernor Markham to the board. Pratt
was called before the directors, but de-
clining to state where the money is and
preferring to serve the remaining two
years rather than give it up, no action
was taken.
