High Water Mark.

University, January 26.-(Speeial)-The
enrolment at the university this session
has reached the high water mark Dur
ing the war between the states when
many students were here TO prepare for
military service and when majority
were in the preparatory department

HIS OFFENSE WAS GRAVE

Montgomery. January 26.-(special)-
Yielding to strong public pressure, Gov
ernor jerks today issued a pardon to
Sanford jacob, a young white man of
Montgomery, who was under sentence in
the penitentiary for term of twenty
years.
About three and a half years ago jacob
was accused of enticing Miss Thomas a
Chiffon county school teacher from the
union station here into house of ques-
tionable character and there attempting
to assault her
OFFICERS interferred and arrested the
young man and the young woman was
also carried to public headquarters There
she declined to make affidavit against her
assailant and he was permitted to go and
escaped to New Orleans. However, on
the following day a warrant for Jacobs
arrest was sworn out and he was arrest
ed in New Orleans.
Two Trials Held.
There were two trials in the court here
and the case enjoyed the distinction to
even reach the United States supreme
court. In the second trial here the young
woman failed to appear as witness, but
dispositions taken in the former trial were
admitted as evidence. jacob was con-
victed and Judge Thomas gave him
twenty years sentence.
The request for the pardon of jacob
was signed by many prominent men of
the city including the first trial judge
and court officials. 1t was also recon-
mended by the pardon board. 1t seems to
meet with public approval.
