at Salisbury. Westmoreland county,
was yesterday released from prison on
a pardon issued by the governor. be-

night
Gray's case was a remarkable one.
Mary McCready disappeared from her
home Feb. 20. 1877. Fourteen months
afterward some boys found a skull on
the banks of stream. 1t was taken
to the nearest country store and was
the curiosity Of the neighborhood for
weeks. Finally 1t was decided that the
skull was that Of Mary McCready, and
after an inquest Silas Gray was held
for the murder. The body was never
found. Gray was convicted and SEN

His communication came about in q

few days before Gray's sentence was
to take effect, the following:
1T is all wrong to hang Silas Gray,
as Jack Petiss confessed to me in the

Welshons located Hiram Bowermas-

death warrant that Gray was taken to
the penitentiary on the very day that
had been set for his execution.
The release OF Gray was witnessed
by large crowd OF officials and curl
Gus visitors. all anxious to bid the long
imprisoned man goodby. Among the
visitors in the lobby at the time was
Mrs Cynthia Hunter, wife of the late
ex-Judge James A Hunter, OF Green's
burg, who sentenced Gray to penal
servitude- Mrs. Hunter was almost
overcome with JOY She said 1t was one
or the happiest moments OF her life.
She had always believed in the inno-
cence OF Gray. She had often heard the
late Judge speak OF Gray, and years
after he was sentenced she had heard
her husband say that he did not be-
