of Pittsylvania county, who was serving
a term of eight years for criminal as

on his way rejoicing. The Governor mas
several times attempted to finally close
his pardon list, but each day he Is moved
by tears and touching appeals. and recon
siders his determination not tc grant
any more pardons during his term.
