tive Clemency Last Sunday.
Conforming to an established custom
Of the executive OF the state to free a
prisoner from the penitentiary on
Christmas day Governor Peabody last
Saturday issued pardon to Antoine
Cuaz, who was given his liberty at noon
the following day after an impriscn-
ment of eight years and three months.
Cuaz was convicted OF murder in the
Pitkin county district court in October,
1895. and was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for life He was model prisoner
from the time OF his incarceration and
for the last five or six years was head
baker at the pen.
The pardon was made on the recom-
mendation of Warden Cleghorn and
his action IN selecting Cuaz as the
subject for executive clemency is
highly commended by those familiar
with affairs at the penitentiary as he is
acknowledged TO have been one OF the
most worthy men on the prison rolls.
The announcement Of the pardon
was made by Chaplain Lucas at the
close of the regular chapel service and
was. of course, a great surprise TO the
recipient who gave expression to his
delight by shouts of praise and tina nks-
giving A little before II o'clock
Cuaz passed out the front doors of the
prison with a new suit OF clothing, a
railroad ticket to Aspen and the tradi-
tional five dollars which is always
given to those whose terms of impri-
sonment have expired.
After visiting relatives in Aspen for
a short time Cuaz will go to one of the
large Eastern cities, where he says he
intends to lead reformed life and en-
deavor 10 become a useful citizen.

the dinner hour the usual rules were

long be pleasant memory to those
unfortunate wards of the state who are
undergoing punishment for their
