raigned-The Penitent Highwayman.
Among the prisoners arraigned in the
Criminal Court yesterday afternoon was
Henry e. Davis, who was charged with
forgery. A special plea of insanity was en-
tered in his case. After the prisoners had
been arraigned deputy approached Davis
with the handouts. The prisoner drew
back and declared the irons should not be
placed on his wrists When the deputy in
sisted, Davis became very violent and it
required the combined strength of several
men to handcuff him.
Elmer Mansfield, who. some time ago.
confessed to the crime of highway robbery
pleaded guilty to taking 10 cents from a
woman he had held up Mansfield told
the money he became Observation-Disclosures
and went to the police station and gave
himself up Judge McCray entered plea
of not guilty for Mansfield. He concluded
that if the man had grown penitent it would
be unfair to send him to prison for the theft
of 10 cents. The prisoner will be given a
chance to defend himself before jury

Mrs. Gardner was one of the people from
whom Mellender made collections. Accord

insult, and she ran to the kitchen to get a
weapon with which to teach him a lesson.
She grabbed up the teakettle and started to
the front door. Before she reached the
door she discovered the water in the kettle
was cold. She dropped the vessel and
picked up a Ratchet. The collector did not
wait for her to reappear. Next day she

Gorernor Atkinson says There has fesn
NO indlserimination.
Referring to a Register dispatch from
Charleston. which alleges an ind!oer,mi.
nate use OF the executive clemency IN
pardonlng criminals during the first
thirteen months OF his administration,
Governor Atkinson said to an Intelll-
seneer reporter yesterday that there
has been no differentiation. Every
application for pardon has been care.
lully considered by the executive and
favorable action was not taken until no.
was satisfied that such action waa necd-
cd IN order to bring about Justice.
Perhaps / have pardoped iorty-threa
criminals" said the governor. "but ev-
cry n was Justified by the facts pre-.
scented TO me, and In several cases the
pardons We're approved IN order that
tho criminals might not die Of con.
sumption In the p~enitentlary. Ono MIN
who was p1rdoned died a few weeks la
Ter. II Is not a fact that each retiring
governor %endeavors TO clear his desk OF
pardons. As n matter OF fact my pred
ecessors have left MS many for their
successors as they could. The Kelly.
Christy application received consldera-
ton from both Governor Fleming and
Governor MacCorkle. l pardoned these
men because ] was convinced they .werc
not guilty OF Glenn's murder: they may
have been bad men, but they were
