Friends of the incarcerated have
been circulating a paper here with
petitions 10 the Governor to pardon
A. W. Spaulding, now serving
tern of Imprisonment at the House
of Correction for liquor selling. Here
is what last weeks Vermont Watch
man has to say about it,
There are well authenticated reports that
certain of Lamoille county's citizens have
signed a petition to the Governor for the
pardon of the former keeper of one of Mont
pelier's Yilest dens, now serving out well
earned term of imprisonment in the House
of Correction at Rutland. The man is La
mobile county's legacy to Washington, and
when he has satisfied the ,I claims 9f !qstIne
him over to the philapthropsts of Morris |
vile. He is the last man in whose behalf e&-
eeutiTe clemencY should be invoked, and
we bell We it will be sought in vain. " Hands
off" is Washington eountys message to
Lamoille in the matter of dealing with the
violators here of the laws both of God and
man.
