MANY PARDO NE D
BY GOVERNOR
TUESDAY
SEVERAL MURpERERs WERE RE-
LEASED ON ACCOUNT OF NEW
FAcTs-sEVEN PARDoNs
REFUSED.

Governor Gambler made a number OF
convicts happy Tuesday when he issued
pardons making them free men again. The
pRrdons were made on recommendation
OF the prison commission, which investi-
gated carefully the facts in the applica-
tions which were made.
Nearly every man pardoned was con-
victed for murder or manslaughter, and
since their incarceration In the peniten-
tiary new facts relating to their cases
have developed.
Joe Phelps. who was convicted at the
May .erm, 1884, of the superior court of
Randolph county OF the offense of murder
and sentenced to life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary was pardcned by Governor
Gambler Tuesday because the killing was
done when Phelps was a youth, and the
deceased was the aggressor in the affair.
The witness on whose testimony Phelps
was convicted was afterwards convicted
of. false swearing and fed from the state.
Phelps has been in the penitentiary eigh-
teen years, which is equivalent to thirty
years sentence. At present he is nearly
blind.
Cap Oliver was tried and convicted at
the September term. 1895, of the Dooly
county superior court Of the offense Of
voluntary manslaughter and was SEN
fenced to twenty years in the peniten-
tiary. He killed a bad. offensive negro.
4
were in a fight started by the deceased
oliver has served seven years in the peni-
Tertiary and the officials of Dooly coun-
ty are of the opinion that he has suffered
enough. oliver was pardoned.
NJ T. Sullivan, who was convicted Of
mansIaughter in Chatham county in 1896
was pardoned Tuesday because the kill
ing was somewhat justifiable
A. d. REVERE, who was convicted Of
murder and sentenced to life imprison-
ment in 1890 I'm DeKalb county, was par
doned because there were no wit
nesses to the crime. The man he killed
was never Identified.
Harry Evans. young. white boy VINO
was convicted in Tallaferro county in 1899
charged with attempting to assault his
sister, was parooned because the
facts i'm the case showed that he was
entirely innocent
Governor Gambler declined to pardon
Pink Dill. Alfred Turner. Charles II. Lee
van. Berry Meeks. George Stanton. ]. M.
Denmark and John Thomas Haines, as
no good reasons were shown why they
should be pardoned.

MONEY FOR EXHIBIT AT
ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION

John r. Kendrick. chief OF the Textile
Division OF the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition. called on Governor Gambler and
the other statehouse officers Tuesday
regarding the big exposition which Is TO
be held I'm St. Louis next year.
Mr.. Kendrick says he is well pleased
with the result OF his visit. He will call
on the prominent textile manufacturers in
Georgia and in the south, and do all that
he possibly can 10 arouse interest In the
coming exposition.
II is probable that Governor Gambler
will appoint a commission TO take charge
u the affairs OF Georgia at the show.
Under a resolution he is authorized to ap-
point a special commission, consisting Of
the state geologist. the commissioner OF
agriculture, one citizen from the state at
large and two from each congressional
district. 1t IS likely w. II. Venable, of
Atlanta, will be appointed a member from
the state at large.
Governor Gambler stated also that he
thought the state could without violating
the constitution, make an appropriation
for the display OF Georgia resources at
the exposition. There has been an opinion
that the state could not make such APP
propriations without them being uncon-
stitutional
