 brother Allen Jordan, who was also sen- fenced to life imprisonment. Allen Jor-
 dan escaped from prison No. at We
 tumpka on September IT, 1899 and has since been a fugitive from justice. A standing reward of S100 is offered hH the
 State for his capture.
 Spencer Atkins, a white man, was Kill ed near Vernon the county seat Of Lamar County in the summer of lS94. The papers accompanying the application for ciemency for Alex Jordan show that At kins was Killed by Alex Jordan, Allen Jordan and Drew Neiland, third white man.
 Neiiand 1t is claimed turned States evi- dence. and the case against him was pol pressed notwithstanding 1t is contended Neiland was the prime factor in the uiur. der.
 Letters from responsible persons, ac. companying the petition. set out that since the conviction of the Jordan broth CTS. Neifand has made an affidavit thai he swore falsely, and further that Mel land is now fugitive from justice. The Jordan brothers were convicted fl the Circuit Court of Lamar County, snt each was sentenced to life Imprisonment by Judge s. H. Sprott on September 5 1894

When Alex Jordan was first sent to tht penitentiary he was leased to a lumber company at Boiling. where he worked several years. In recent years he hal been leased by the State to the Hand Lumber Company at Dolive. He wal at work there yesterday, when the mes sage reached him that he could oncs more go out into the world as fret man, and that he could exercise h!s civi
 rights as though he had never occupied a felon's cell.
 The officials and employees of both o 1 the lumber camps to which Alex ter | dan was leased have highly recommended him as quiet orderly man, and urged | the Governor to grant him a pardon. IT I addition to these recommendations bi' | application for ciemency was rigned |, | nine of the jurors who tried the case and the officials of Lamar County urget | his pardon.
 In issuing the pardon Governor Jelki made this endorsement upon the record This man has served over eight year. | of life sentence. Every county ctiicel l appears to be on his petition 10 whicf | is added nine of the jurors who trie6 | him. The prosecuting solicitor and thu l trial judge unite with the other petition | CTS in asking for cIemency. His healtf | has been bad, his conduct good.
