PARDON FOR CHARLES REID.
Killed HnIstead in Macon for Insult
ing His wife.

KILLED HnIstend in Macon for INSULT
ing His Wife.
Atlanta, May 8.-Chartes r. Reid' Oh Ma
con. the slayer of S. R. Halstead' VINO mas
been serving three years sentence III the
penitentiary. after conviction in the Blpp
county court of mansiaughter, was yester-
day pardoned by Gov. Gambler.
The Staying of Halstead in Macon IN the
fall of 1897 was one of the most sensation
al cases in the history of the state ana
considerable interest was shown by the
public generally in the circumstances ana
in the trial al which Reid was convicted
Halstead was man o. prominent fanny
a kinsman of Murat HaIEtead' the wen
known writer At the time of inc traSeuy
he was connected with a circus III the ca
pac,tv of ticket seller. While exhibiting III
Macon. Halstead at an afternoon perform
ance approached Mrs. Reid, who was I'm
accompanied and is said to nave hlaue
an insulting proposition to her. she "er'
home and informed Ter husband. ReII hdu
his wife return with him to the circus at
the night performance, carrying MS p'seoi
with him. At the entrance Of the tent Mrs'
| Reid pointed out the man who had 'n-
suited her and without word, Helo shot
Halstead and killed him.
In the trial of the case the prosecution
ATTEMPTED to prove that the character oil
Mrs. Reid was not the best, and that she
| had given Halstead cause to approach
her In the manner in which he did, put
| little progress was made on TINS Inc
Law Against Sentiment.
Judge FELTON,, in his charge to the jury
| said that 1t was a case of law against
| sentiment and in speaking of it after
| wards, he said law had triumphed. Reid
| was sentenced to three years in the penl-
| Tertiary Every member of the jury which
| convicted him signed the petition asking
for his pardon, and Judge FELTON,, who
! presided over the case was one of the
most ardent workers for his release.
The papers in the case were acted on by
the pardon board and handed to Gov.
| Gambler yesterday, who at once signed
the order for Reds pardon. In the order
| releasing Reid Gov. Gambler said the pris-
| on commission having had under advise
ment an application for executive elem
ency in behalf of the defendant, Charles
| r. Reid, recommended a pardon for the
following reasons:
The killing in this case was under strong
| provocation, the deceased having grossly
| insulted defendants wife, and made to
her an i'm proper and indecent proposition,
which she Immediately reported to her
husband. The insult was gross, wanton
and wholly unprovoked, and was suffi-
cient to have excited in Reid an extreme
| heat of passion, under which he appears
to have acted in taking the life of the de-
ceased. In his conviction for manslaugh-
ter the law has been thoroughly vindi-
Gated, and the punishment undergone by
him. in view of his physical condition, has
been ample.
