THE STATE PARDON BOARD
DECLINES TO RECOMMEND ExECU-
TIVE CLEMENCYsIN MANY
ASE
THE PETITIONS CONSIDERED
iWere Many, But the Board Failed
to Find Good Reasons for Recom-
mendfng That Be Grant
ed-A Number of Very Interesting
Cases Were Taken Up This Week.

The State Pardon Board has trans
mitted to Governor Atkinson a list of
the applications for pardons rejected
by the advisory board at its recent
meeting. The list includes the names
of Charles Dorsey, Clarence Snead.
Joshua Smith, Tom Garrison. Frank
Dickson and James Pickering.
Snead was convicted in the Grim
inal Court of Fayette county, and sen-
fenced to six months in Jail and to pay
a fine of $500. His petition was signed
by Snead and some of the members of
the court that tried him, and there
was nothing in the claim, which was,
in effect, that because Walter Bur-
CESS, who was charged with him, re-
ceived a less punishment that he did,
his punishment should be reduced to
the same as that of Burgess.
Smith is serving seven years from
Lincoln county for grand larceny. The
board did not think that the papers
filed in the case justified the'recommen-
dation for pardon.
For similar reasons the board re-
fused the application Of Garrison, who
is serving twelve years from Jefferson
county for burglary.
Dorsey is serving sentences aggre-
eating eleven years, having been on
victed in Berkeley county of grand lar
ceny in two cases.
Dickson filed his own petition for
pardon, and the only thing to support
his application was a letter from Judge
E. S. Doolittle. Dickson was convict
ed in the Criminal Court of Cabell
county of attempted rape on a child,
and was sentenced to two years and a
half in the penftentiary.
Other pardons which the board de-
clined to recommend were as follows:
William Bussey, convicted in the Cir
cult Court of Berkeley Of entering a
building with intent to commit lar
ceny and sentenced to six years.
Otis Toms, convicted in the Circuit
Court of Upshur county upon a charge
of felony and sentenced to two years.
James Lewis, convicted of unlawful
wounding in the Criminal Court of
Pocahontas county, and sentenced TO
two years.
Solomon Tice, convicted Of forgery in
CHS NIi0ufC OOuiI VI i0aooH0o Souh'1'
and sentenced to two years.
James Stacey, convicted of robbery
in the Circuit Court of Logan county,
and sentenced to eighteen years.
Thomas Boiler, convicted of burg
larry in the Circuit Court of Berkeley
county, and sentenced to five years i'm
prisonment.
w. E. Reed, convicted in the Circuit
Court of Mineral county upon a charge
of forgery, and sentenced to four years
imprisonment.
