HIS EXILE AT AN END.
After Many Years Executive Ciemen-
cy Is Exercised I'm a Singular
Case in south Carolina

Gov. Ellerbe has pardoned L. T. Cor
bett, member Of one of the best fam
lilies in South Carolina, and now citi-
zen of San Fra ncisco, Cal. In the spring
of 1856 young Corbett, then lad Of Is,
was experimenting q store on his IA
her's plantation in Sumter county. 1t
was charged that the boy sold liquor to
the negroes, and, having no license,
prosecution followed. The boy fled the
country, without giving any intimation
of his intentions. Immediately after-
ward he was tried, convicted and in his
absence a sealed sentence was left by
Judge Kershaw, who has since died. 1t
has never been opened.
1t now transpires that young Corbett
went to Colorado, where he worked
hard and met with success. Then he
went to California and prosperity fol-
lowed him. He then married and Is now
highly respected citizen in his new
home, and deacon in the Presbyterian
church,
Some time ago he heard of his con-
viction and then of the falling health
of his father and mother. He wished to
return TO see his parents alive, but the
sentence stood in his path. When the
people about his home heard Of the cir
cumstances they prepared strong petit
tion. Gov. Ellerbe granted pardon
within an hour after the receipt of the
petition. The self-bnnished young man
was telegraphed to hasten across the
continent.

for an army of $4,000 consolidated
