Washington, Aug. 22.-President NC
Kinley has returned to the depart
ment of justice number of cases
placed before him for executive elem
ency. He granted seven pardons out
right. commuted the sentences of
three and denied ave applications.
Among those pardoned was Michael
Bar, who pleaded guilty on April ",
1901, to embezzling $40 of the post
Office money order funds at Canton, o.
He was sentenced to Imprisonment for
two years in the Ohio penitentiary.
Bar was clerk in the postoffice and
had reimbursed the government for
the loss before he was indicted. There
are said to be mitigating circumstances
in his case and the petitions for his
pardon were very numerously signed
by prominent citizens of Canton who
were acquainted with all the facts in
the case. The Attorney General in his
endorsement merely says that in view
of the facts presented he recommends
that pardon be granted.
The most important application for
pardon that was denied was the case
Of J. NJ. Mcknight. who was convict
ed in Kentucky of embezzling funds
of the German National bank, of which
he, was president, and was sentenced
