GOVERNOR ISSUES
SEVERAL PARDONS
MAN FROM JEFFERSON GIVEN HIS
LIBERTY ON ACCOUNT OF HIS
EXTRAORDINARY GOOD BEHAV-
loR DURING IMPRISONMENT.

Montgomery, December d. Especially
The governor today issued pardons ana
paroles as follows:
M. Taylor, jefferson, grand larceny,
serving a sentence of two and a half
years, was pardoned. The governo's rea-
sons are his extraordinary good behavior
during his imprisonment. the appeal of
good people and his sentence is well nigh
complete.
Matte Lou Lyon, Macon county, as
sault with intent to murder and serving
a sentence of two years, parole.
Theodore Conner, serving a twenty year
sentence from Choctaw for murder The
governor says: Judge Anderson writes
that the sentence was very heavy. His
later experience in trying cases shows
the inequality of sentences, leads him to
say that ten years would have been a
Conner would now, getting advantage of
deduction for good conduct, have COM
pleted ten year sentence. He is par
doned."
Kinney Hulsey, serving a sentence OF
two years for grand larceny in Colbert
county, was paroled. The pardoning
board did not see any reason why the
verdict of the jury should be disturbed
in the case, but the governor says: This
boy was charged with burglary together
with three others, one of whom has been
pardoned The other two were sentenced
to only thirteen months. Let parole issue
conditioned on his good behavior"

PETER GLAD TO BE
OUT OF BASEBALL

Selma, December 19.-(SpeciaL)-E. t.
Peter, ex-owner of the Selma franchise
in the Southern league reached the city
today, having been to Atlanta since the
meeting of the league in Birmingham
Tuesday. He says he is through with
baseball, that with conditions as they
now exist in the league since the dicta-
torship has been turned over to Frank,
that he is glad to get out, and is dou-
bly, so as he wants to devote his time
to his business interests in Selma.
The Atlanta franchise was owned joint
ly by Mr.. Peter and Alb Powell of New
Orleans. Mr.. Peter offered to buy Powell s
Unrest and offered to sell his own inter-
est to Powell for $1,000, preferring to give
him the first chance. When the PROPOSE
ton came for Carnes to purchase for $4,000
Peter decided to accept and the deal was
consumated.
The Atlanta franchise is now owned by
Carnes and Powell and the latter will
manage the team. Mr.. Peter is being ina
portuned by many local fans to organize
a state league and to form club for
Selma. Whether or not he will do so is
yet to be decided.

With feelings Of gratitude for your
kindness to me. as we'll as the eourtesies
shown me at all times bg the officers Of
your court I am, with great respect,
very truly yours NJ. B. MADISON,
United States Commissioner.
Montgomery, Ala, December 10. 1902.
Marion B. MADISON, Esq, Tuscaloosa,
Ala:
Dear Sir-Your letter of December
to me at Birmingham came duly to hand.
Pressure Of official duties has prevented
an earlier reply. l do not lose sight CT
the fact that grand juries hear but one
side and while / would not, therefore,
in any wise criticize their action in this
matter, I nevertheless feel that 1t would
be unjust to you to condemn you until
all the facts are investigated and tried.
From the nature of the case as reported
to me, 1t seems that while there was.
perhaps, some lack of caution on your
part as to the identity of witnesses, there
was nothing that showed intentional
wrong.
In view of your services to the country
in the late war and your high character,
] shall certainly suspend any judgment
in the matter Under the circumstances.
however, I think it quite proper for You
to tender your resignation. which is ac-
copied. Should you be indicated, l will
re-appoint you. Yous truly.
THOS. G. JONES.
