CLEMENCY TO CONVICTS
ONE PAROLE AND TWO FINES
 REMITTED.
Governor Cunningham Acted on Three Cases Before Him-Wiley Thomas a Coosa County Boy
 Gets Freedom,

Governor Cunningham yesterday for tho first time exercised the executive perogatNe of granting clemency to convicts- In two in- stances he remitted the fines of convicts for violating the revenue laws and in another case, that of a boy charged with forgery. ne granted parole.
 It is interesting to note that the same Tea- sons which moved Governor Jelks to execa- tive clemency appealed to Governor Cunning nam, that is, he laid great weight upon the recommendation of the prosecuting solicitor and the trial judge. Tn all the three Apiiea- tions granted yesterday either one or the other of these officials made recommendations for executive clemency.
 A parole was granted to Wiley Thomas of Coosa County, a mere boy. He was convicted of forgery and was serving sentence CT two years. Governor Cunningham granted the parole in the following words;
 T have not considered the question that the amount of the order forged was only SS-- whether 1t was a large or a small anount--but have taken into consideration the youth and previous good character of Thomas. The pre- siding judge and solicitor who prosecuted the case recommend clemency. This recommenda- tion is concurred in by the PaTdoning Board have. therefore. determined to give this young man an opportunity to become good citizen Let parole issue dependent upon his future law-abiding conduct"
 portion of the fine of White Harris, a con- vlct of Marion County, was remitted He had been fined for violating the revenue laws Of the state The remission was in the follow ing words;
 ''on account of the physical condition of this man, he being very old and having the palsy and at the request of many citizens where the defendant lives and on account of the rec concentrations of most of the county officers and the presiding judge, have determined to remit s25 of this fine. It is accordingly or dered"
