And shelter the blows that toll.

San Francisco. Oct Thames H.
Darling. Joseph White, Cornelius

prisoners al AlcatraZ. have been re-
leased by the authorities on pardons
which, it is now discovered. were
forged. These fraudulent pardons
were sent through the ordinary course
of soldiers pardon, bearing the reg
ular seals and stamps and approved by
the president. but by whom and by
whose assistance the frauds were per-
petrated are questions not yet solved.
but it is believed the investigation now
in progress will eventually clear up
the mystery.
The four prisoners were sentenced 10
five years Imprisonment, and had
more than two years uneXpired term
to serve. They were set at liberty Oc-
tober I, and were landed in this city on
the government steamer Gen. Mellow
ell
The signatures forged by the con-
yicts were those Of Mai. E, b, Hills,
acting assistant adjutant-general at
Washington; Maj Henry NJ. Morrow,
judge advocate of the department OF
California, and Maj. J. X, Williams
assistant acknowledgement of the de-
partment Of California In addition to
these forgeries, the official stamps OF
the department of California head
quarters and of the judge advocates S
office appear. The very letter head on
which the pardon is written seems
genuine.
The irregularity OF the document Is
assured by the fact that both Maj.
Williams and Judge Advocate Morrow
are quoted to the effect, in an inter-
view, that the signatures on the papers
were not their own.
