Pardon and Death the Same Hour.

The body Of Henry Owens was
brought to- Versailles Tuesday and
placed in charge of Undertaken w.
a. kidwell until Wednesday norm
ing when the reniains were taken TO
Ritchie cemetery for interment, 1t
will be remembered that Owens was
sent to the penitentiary from this
county about two years ago, after
having been convicted of the muir
der of James Lawrence, the deed
having been committed on the street
i'll this city, Owens having stabbed
Lawrence to death.
After a stubborn legal battle a
verdict was reached and Owens was
sent to the ~pcnitentiary to serve a
ten-year sentence. During the past
few months Owens health failed,
his disease being consumption.
Several weeks ago a petition was
circulated here by his friends and
was freely signed owing to Owens
serious condition, and sent to Coy
ernor Dockery asking for Owens
pardon. AZ 3 p. III. Monday the
pardon was signed by the Governor
and sent to the warden, who went
to Owens and read the document to
the unfortunate man. He arose
from his couch, took a few steps,
reeled, sank to the floor and soon
expired. In his weakened condi-
ton the message of liberty was too
much for him. This was less than
one hour after the pardon had been
granted.
The prison authorities at Jefferson
City prepared the body for ship
mcnt and forwarded the same to this
city as above stated, and relatives
and friends of deceased witnessed
the burial at Richie cemetery at
noon Wednesday.
