other district in the United States. The

wagon against a tree and all three of the
occupants were thrown violently to the
ground. AS the wagon struck the tree,
the single tree broke and the pony ran out
of the shafts, jerking Mrs. Gentry head
foremost over the dashboard and dragging
her a short distance before she could re-
lease the lines from her wrists. Her head
struck a tree, and she was rendered UNI
conscious. She received also several Sc
we're contusions on her body and the small
of her back was severely wrenched, pro-
to be serious. Mrs. Jordan escaped with
a sprained ankle, a few bruises and a
painful shock. The baby did not receive
a scratch.

Gov. Atkinson has signed a warrant,
pardonng Charles Evans, who was in the
penitentiary for twenty years. having
been sent up from Putnam county in
1881 for assault with intent TO rape. In the
Georgia penitentiary, as in all other sim
liar institutions certain amount of time
is taken off the sentence of the convict
for good behavior. In 1887 the Georgia
legislature passed a law, making this al
lowance greater in case of long terms,
and Shortening the allowance in short
terms. Evans was sent up under the old
law and it has been the rule heretofore
to deduct the time allowed for good be-
havior according to the law in force at
the time Of the sentence. Gov. Atkinson,
when the matter was called to his atten-
ton, decided that 1t would be just to
place all convcts under the new law made
in 1887, and Evans is the first convict to
get the benefit Of his decision. Evans was
convicted and sentenced at the Septem-
Der term of the Putnam court of 1881, and
has therefore been in the penitentiary
nearly fifteen years. According to the
penitenitary regulation in force at the
time of his conviction, he would still
have some time to serve, but under the
law in force at present, the time allowed
him for good behavior would bring his
term of sentence to an end. BY the decis-
ion of the governor he is now a free man.
The governor will pursue this policy in
the case of al other long term convicts,

of his youth Judge Smith suspended sem
tence and ordered Melay sent to Preston
school of industry, at lone.
Yesterday letters were received from
Superintendent c. Banks of the lone
school, in which he gave the reasons for
sending Melay back to Los Angeles,
under a provision of the law which, in
certain cases permits this to be done.
In all my experience" writes the su-
perintendent, (which covers twelve
years, l have never met a more typical
criminal. He is below par in the matter
of intellect, but possesses much of the
low cunning and strong animal passions
characteristic of his class. The boy is
particularly marked by his vindictive-
ness, deceit and sensuality and in my
opinion will be a menace to society as
long as he lives"
Upon these representations Judge
Smith sentenced Melay to be imprisoned
at Folsom for the period of ten years
for the offense of grand larceny of which
he was convicted.

Just a Fighting Chance

The appeal of Domingo Nunis from the

was heard by Judge Smith yesterday
On June 10th Nunis was charged by
Asico Encinas with disturbing the peace.
The defendant had gone to the house of
the complainant the night previous at
about IL o'clock and threatened to kill
the inmates. He destroyed some of the
plants in the garden, and then broke one
of the windows and pointed pistol at
two of the women inmates.
The defendant was found guilty in the
Justices court, but an appeal was taken
on the ground. that the defendant had
been improperly charged.
The court took the matter under ad
visement, but from the remarks made
by Judge Smith it might be inferred
that he was not inclined to split hairs
when substantial justice had been meted
on
