w Rlordon returned Friday evening

The Berkeley county officers had no
trouble in having the requisitlon
granted by the Pennsylvania officers
IN Harrisburg, but in Carlisle they
had some little trouble in getting the
prisoners. The Cumberland county
officials wanted to get all the money
thew could out of Berkeley county
before giving the prisoners up. They
at first wanted exorbitant fees,
amounting to about $50, but the Der
kelley county officers finally secured
the prisoners by paylng the Carlisle
officers S23 for their trouble.
The prisoners will be given heas-
ing sometime tins week.

TOO JEALOUS IN PARDON CASE.
Farxed Affidavit WIN Cost PRISONERS
Eight xears Ina Penitentthry.

The overzealousness OF some I'M
known friend viii likely caase John
yand Thomas Morrison and Harry Nj.
Anderson, three youung men of Win
chester. TO spend eight years behind
prison bars. The three men were
sent to the West Virginia penitentlary
at Moundsvllle from Hampshire couA-
ty two years ago to serve ten years.
Petitions had been freely circulated
for their pardon. and the prosecuting
attorney had about decided not TO OPP
pose a pardon when the case comes up
before the State board of pardons this
month. Recently, however, the
attorney representing the prisoners
wrote to Prosecuting ATTORNEY Corn
well, stating that he had an affidavit
in his possession, sent him by the
prisoners in which n. B. Keller, the
chief prosecuting witness, swore tina
he was now convinced that he was
mistaken in the Identification of the
prisoners, and that he believed they
| had nothing at all 70 do with the rob-
berry Mr. Cornwell then began an
investigation and found that Keller
had never signed such an affidvit and
that the officer before whom 1t was
apparently sworn had retired from
offc9 at a date prior to the date on
the alleged affidavit,
Prosecutor Cornwell now says he
will appear before the board of par
don and oppose the prisoners release
on account of the forged affidavit.
The main hope of the prisoners
