PARDON FOR PAT KEARNEY
HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED BY PRI-
SON COMMISSION.

Report Has Gone to Gov. Gambler
and He VIII Take Action on the
Case TO-day-COmmission Reason
ed That If Accident Insurance
Could BE Recovered, Kearney
should Have the BENEFIT of the
Doubt About Its Being Murder.
Atlanta, May 3.-After quite long de-
lay the Prison Commission this afternoon
sent in its recommendation TO the Gov
error in the Pat Kearney case from Chat
ham county.
1t is a rule with the commission to re-
main reticent about any recommendations
forwarded to the Governor until he takes
action on the matter. There was no de-
Walton from this rule to-day. but it can
be safely stated that the recommendation
was favorable.
The commission reasoned it out that If
the wife of Kearneys victim could re-
ceive the accident insurance money on his
death, Kearney could not, therefore, be
guilty of murder. The Supreme Court
passed first upon kearney's case and held
that the testimony was sufficient to war
rant the verdict of guilty. Later, in pass
ing on the question of paying the accident
insurance, that tribunal also held that
the testimony, if the jury believed it, was
sufficient to warrant a verdict against the
insurance company and that, too, on the
same state of facts as was developed in
the murder trial.
The Prison Commissioners view is that
II the facts warranted the verdict in the
insurance case, it certainly raised doubt
in the murder case, and the prisoner
should have been given the benefit of the
doubt.
The record in both cases Is before the
Governor. who, he says he will not rem
der a decision till tomorrow.
