PhRDONEO Els ASSAILANT.
Remarkable Treatment of Convict by
Governor Bob Stewart.

Governor Bob Stewart, who was the
chief executive of Missouri once and aft
erward United States senator from that
state, had q strange career.
During his gubernatorial incumbency
he was one day looking through the
penitentiary at Jefferson City when he
saw among the convicts an aged man
whom he recognized. On the following
day he sent to the warden of the prison
orders to have that man brought to the
executive mansion.
When the man appeared, the govern.
or, calling him by name, asked him if
he hadn't once been the mate Of Mis-
souri, river steamboat. The convict ad.
mitted that he had been, and then the
following conversation ensued, the gov
ernor beginning:
"Do you remember at one time Of
having taken blankets away from boy
who was stowaway on the boat and
kicking him ashore?"
1.-THE circumstance doesn't recur to
me now, but doubtless I did it. A
steamboat mate in those days had to be
considerable Of q brute.
"Yes, sir, and you filled the bill ad-
mirably. was the boy you robbed and
kicked ashore very near to this capital
city, and thus became enabled to give
You your pardon. Here, sir, take it.
Now, right about. March out Of that
door and off these premises, and never
let me see your brutal old face again"
The old convict walked away quite
briskly for one of his age.
A little while ago senator told me
that one day about the close of the war,
or perhaps little later, he was walk
ing down Pennsylvania avenue in Wash
ington with another senator when his
companion abruptly called his attention
to rather distinguished looking man
in gang Of laborers who were cleaning
the streets, and I think he said under
police surveillance.
"Do you know who that man isp"
the second senator asked.
"No."
"Well, that is Ex-Governor and ex-
Senator Bob Stewart of Missouri. He
was Of convivial nature, and the conviv-
alities of Washington proved too much
for him. "-Chicago Times-Herald.
