The Reasons for "A Pardon Filed by A'tor

HARkISONBURG. April 13.-It is quite
likely that James b. Gentry. the murderer
of Madge Yorko. the actress, VINO Is no"
under sentence Of death in Philadelphia
will be granted a respite by Governor
Hastings. To-day Secretary Reedtr FOUND
in his mail the reasons for pardon sent
him by Attorney Munce, which are as
follows:
1. Because the verdict was against the
law.
>. Because the verdict was against the
evidence.
3. Because the verdict was against the
law and the evidence.
4. Because of the inability Of the de-
PENDANT to procure witnesses from a
foreign jurisdiction. whose testimony
would have reduced the grade of tho
offence to that Of murder in the second
degree.
Because Of after-discovered testi-
mony. relative TO the condition Of de-
PENDANTS mind at the time Of the com
mission OF the crime.
There were also half a dozen petitions
numerously signed by citizens Of Philadel-
phia and Cincinnati asking for Gentry 3
pardon II IS expected that Attorney
Munce will tomorrow ask Governor Hast
trgs 20 grant 4 respite TO Gentry. on the
ground that the time for preparing the
case for the meeting OF the Board OF Par
dons Is too short. II is customary TO
grant a respiteunder the circumstances.
There was also a separate petition for
Gentrys pardon signed by the twelve
iurymen who convicted him of murder
