]. B. KELLY PAROLED
CLEMENCY FOR A ST. CLAIR COuN-
TY CONVICT.
Governor Gives Freedom To White
Man Who Was Sent UP For
Six Years For FOrE-

John b. Kelly, a white convict OF
st. Clair county, who was sent to the
penitentiary in 1908, and has been serv-
ing, the state in good conduct, was
yesterday granted parole by cover
nor Jelks. The action was recommend
ed by the State Board of Pardons af-
ter the Board had gone thoroughly IN
to the application which has been on
file for some time.
Kelly was convicted in the spring
term. 1908, of the st. Clair county cir
cult court, on charges of forgery. There
were two separate offenses for which
he was convicted. There seems to be
little doubt of his guilt but Glenn
ency, as explained in the Governors
endorsement of the case, was extended
to Kelly mostly becalse of his being
a nervous wreck. He has already
served about one-half of his term of
six years imprisonment.
]. H. Snead, of Ashland, whose name
| it was alleged was used in Kelly's
forgery. sent a letter to the Governor
\ telling that he would not object to
| the liberty of the convict Judge A.
H. Aston, the trial judge in the case.
| also stated his belief that Kelly had
been sufficiently punished.
The Governors words In the case are
as follows:
This man was convicted from St.
Clalr OF forgery III soCohu uSSEcS anu
sentenced to penitentiary for six years.
He was sentenced April %. 1908. He
has now served about one-half of his
term. Statements made to me by I'M
doubtedly reputable people from the
immediate neighborhood where he
grew up and has lived most of his life
show that he has been nervous wreck
for many years.. and that he is more
subject of sympathy and pity than
punishment. The Board of Pardons
recommend that he be paroled. His
petition is signed by all the county
oficials of Marshall county where he
has always lived and by great num-
| Der of the reputable citizens. The
trial judge joins in the petition.
| TT is ordered that he be paroled
subject to his future law abiding con-
duct"
| Kelly's chief acquaintances live in
| and about Guntersville as 1t was there
that he lived long before he went to
| st. Clair county. Testimony was
submitted from the people who knew
him in that community that he has a
family and has always been of weak
physique, being APPARENTLY a nervous
wreck. He has been confined to work
at the Walls, Wetumpka, since his con-
viction.
