Governor Cunningham yesterday di-

of the State conditional upon the pay
ment of fine of $500. Bond was serv-
ing a sentence for assault to murder
of two years.
There were mitigating circumstances
connected with the crime. and some of
the court officials declared he should
not haze been convicted of more Sc
rious offense than assault and battery.
Bonds parole bore the following en-

This applicant VIZ convicted of as
sault with intent to murder and sent
enced to two years in the penitentiary.
At the time of the offense, 1t appears
that he apprehended an assault upon
his brother Prior to going to trial, 1t
appears that the State, through the
Solicitor. was willing to accept a plea
of assault and battery with a fine of
$500. The prosecutor in the case, how
