I FON McCORD SLEW BULL BATS
 AND PAID A FINE AT HIGH NOTE

dressed the Mayor as Your Honor" The Mayors name Is Grace. But even if Mir. McCurd had observed all these little amenities, eye-witnesses say that he lost all by putting in lengthy ar gument on the question of 1urisdifction. He said he thought iie shot the bats in Florida--Highnote Is just three miles inside the Alabama line.
 T had no idea was on Alabama soil" said the Private Secretary of the judges yesterday.
 T told the Mayor so at the time. but he seemed to discredit my word. T agreed that those bats came pretty high, but might have known it if had just remembered the name or the town" s4.4Fs.
 Here the reporter shrank away and took the smelling sRtice from the hand bag of lady who happened to pass, For this joke the reporter thought It's perpetrator ought to have been taken back to the Mayor of Highnote ana fined again,
 Ono witness of AEr. McCord's trial who happened to reach Montgomery on the same train with the Private Secres tary. was asked about his speech in seif-defense before the Mayor of High- note. The witness said he got into the Mayors office just in time to hear the defendant tell the Mayor that he thought the bats were shot across the State line, and he knew bat shooting was not against the law in Florida :. His opinion of why 1t was not against the law was he heard that Florida bats do not eat mosquitoes, and if they should happen to eat 'em they would not be the stegomyia variety Florida bats eschew this kind of mosquito. This Is the way Mir. McCord Is said to have put it to the Mayor.
 They say it Is a wonder that Mr. Mo Cord was not fined for contenIN oi court because when the three dollars were put down against him he said in a monotone with a wry face: T would not feel so hurt if had borrowed fine gun. It was a cheap gun and know it. It had doilar-down- and -dol- lar-a- week-after etched on it."

PLEAS OF WIFE AND MOTHER
 SECURED COMPANIES PAROLE

Pathos claimed the morning hours in and about the office of Governor Jefxs yesterday when 6 yellow document, fresh from the pen of the chief execu- tive of the State, was handed two wo- men and the hearts of mother and wife were overjoyed and sons free dom was procured.
 A parole was granted Jack Fontaine. 9 young white convict furnished to the Alabama cotton mill at Speigner through conviction for forgery in the City Court of Selma. He was sent to the penitentiary on February 2S, 1905, with a sentence of two years It struck sorrow overwhelming to the heart of his mother, Mrs. H. E. Ship of Selma, and no less to the heart of the young mans wife.
 The pair of women, of plain dress, wore a wistful mein as they ascended the steps of the old Capitol yesterday morning. With quavering voice the mother inquired for the office of the Governor, her daughter-in in-law hang ing on her arm. They were directed of the Governors office and little lat CT the interview was arranged on which 60 much depended of the future of the wayward youth In the walls.
 Not of the stereotyped form, the sham emotional was this interview WlIn the GOVGInOTs ETANdIG SGCIStGEy J. Kirk Jackson has arranged no few of these interviews before. Some of them turn out to be seances. some ex- hibitions of the most superb acting while others have shown that the per m<sgKs stfnG7 aoT AAxssektfsse -skAalnency did < ot have the veneer of grissf only but
 ere serious in the botton7 of their tfs 3t, .,sya.have been disfhissed after their long intercessions without re- ward for skilled addresses and pene- trating importunities. For Governor has experienced too many of these art-to-heart talks not to have a judgment of his own, Every issue of a pardon or a parole Is a study for the Governors mind even though it has been sifted by the Board of Pardons.
 But the entreaties of the mother and the daughter rang of the substance that makes for the heart of any man. They had a drama to relate and a TO- nance too, all in one. And they who told 1t all were the chief actors When 1t was over circumstances about the crime of Jack Fontaine reduced 1t to an act of yielding once to temptation, offered us all more or less, and in the mind of the Governor the young man bids fair of making a worthy citizen.
 Lived Near Convict.
 Mother and daughter did not go to the Governor for clemency until they had heroically run to their extremity in their devotion to son and husband Many months ago. in fact right after Fontaine was taken from their midst and sent to prison. the little property they had in Selma they sold and with the proceeds went to live In as much as possible the same atmosphere as that breathed by the unhappy boy in stripes, To Speigner they went and by penuri- ous habits managed to eke out liv-

[ ing such as 1t has been, to embrace at intervals the pride of their beings. Such love was almost strange to the guards at Speigner in the cotton mill there. Nevertheless it was real love. 1t was affection of the overfiowing sort and the love has avaiied at last. It has sprung an example that saved Fon- taine from the miserable life which he would have had to live three times as long but for the mighty appeal 1t car- ried to the hearts of some of the best men of Alabama.
 In the petition for Fontaine's parole was letter from Hon. H. S. D. Mall lory of Selma, Chairman of the State Democratic Executive Committee. He had learned of the pathetic sufferings of Fontaine's wife and mother. He had taken an interest in the boys well fare and investigated his conduct in prison. The manager of the cotton mill, operated by the State at Speigner, testified to the exemplary manner in which the convict had worked and be- haved himself. These facts caused Mir. Mallory and other influential citizens Of Selma to intercede in behalf Of the imprisoned. Among them were the members of the business firm who suf- fered by the forgery of Fousaff1e.
 Another incident coadoned lFon- taine's case, too. and that was repay ing this firm which was the victimdch the forgery. This was an act, 1t is La be observed. which took place after ing trial of the boy in court and dine

 Probably there has not been anS
 cation for ciemency ,so reach thA ernor before with circumstances as exa tenuating as those in this case. The parole was issued conditioned upon good conduct with the following words of the Governor:
 Jack Fontalne-This man was con- victed of forgery in the second degree and sentenced to two years in the pen- itentiary. His family has paid up the amount of money secured under the forged order. He has a mother. a good woman, who is very solicitous about the young fellow. He is only 21 years of age. He has a wife besides. He has served twelve months, six months in jail and six months in the peniten- tiary, and because of his youth and the belief that he will make man of him. self If given the opportunity. and be- cause of the suffering he has already endured in consequence of his offense it Is ordered that he be paroled, de- pendent upon his future good conduct
 Mrs. Ship and her daughter-in-law left the office of the Governor as soon as they were appraised of the parole and went straightway to SpeIgner where they will join Fontaine m his re- lease from the Walls.
