these being the battle flag Of the First

The Baltimore and Washington City

SI-gial 70 he FoEt.
Richmond. Va. Dec. Gov. Tyler will
tomorrow grant pardOns TO several con-
Victs in the penitentiary. All except one
are from Southwest Virginia. 1t is pOssi-
bic that one or two more may be added to
this list
One Of those who will receive liberty as
Christmas gift is Mrs. Sarah Deckert,
Of Wise County. who killed her husband in
1881 She is serving out a five-year term
for this crime The husband treated her
brutally. on one occasion giving her ter
rible hOrseWhipping
Another who is to be shown clemenCy is
Charles E. Cox. OF Missouri, man of ex-
cellent family. The prisoner in 1896 killed
man named Roberts in Grayson County.
The latter. 1t was shown, had threatened
10 Kill Cox, who was q stranger in the
county. The accused was sent to the peni-
tentiary for eighteen years, four OF which
he has served.
Another man who Is 10 be liberated to-
morrow is Marshall Owens, OF Washing
ton County. who in 1897 killed John Dod
son. He was given fourteen years in the
State prison The murder was committed
on a Sunday morning while Owens was
on his way TO church. The men had a
quarrel growing out Of DOdsOn's refusing
TO speak 10 Owens. The latter. who had
a knife in his hand, slashed DOdsOn in the
breast, infiiCting a fatal wound.
The governor will also pardon Walter
Keen, sent from Buchanan for murder in
the second degree, and John Carter, a col
Ored butcher. Of Petersburg, who assault
ed John Thoman, of Baltimore. and was
sent 10 the State prison for one year, is
also to be liberated.
1t is possible tnat the governor will also
pardon William Farmer, of Wise County
who is serving an eighteen-year term for
the murder of friend over a game of
cards. A man named Bentley is also In
the penitentiary for having killed Farm
er's sister. After young Farmer had
been convicted and his sister slain, his
two brothers-one on the Norfolk and
Western and the other on the Chesa-
reake and OhiO-were killed. All this
grief killed the aged mother. A sister is
now lying at the point of death, and the
o!d father has come to Richmond and
visits the governor daily to plead in be-
half Of his SON.

interesting Rum0rs Afieat Concerning
Delegate Pitchers Measure,
Special to The Pest.

special TO The Pest.
Richmond, Va, Dec. 23.-Considerable in
terest is being manifested in the proposed
investigation of the new contract between
the commonwealth and the Davis Shoe
Company. for the hire of convicts. Dele
gate Pitcher, who offered the resolution.
has never made public his reasons for his
action.
Ihe present contract with the company
does not expire until May, 1906. 1t is said
IN legislative circles that Mr.. Pitcher
wants TO ascertain the reasons for the re-
neWal of contract that has more than
SIX years TO run. He believes so ii is
stated, that by waiting a few years the
State might receive more pay for its con-
victs.
There is report to the effect that an
other big concern wants to hire cOnvicts.
and is willing to compete with the Davis
Company for them.
The contract was renewed by the board
OF directors of the penitentiary and re-
ceIVed the approval of the governor after
careful consideration.
Mr.. a. c. Harman, the president of the
board of directors, said to-day he did not
know what object Mr.. Pitcher had in
view, but the board would assist him and
MS committee IN every possible manner
IN the investigation. 1t is not unusual
Mr.. Harman said TO renew the contracts
with this company several years in ad-
vance Of the expiration of the existing
agreement.
