 "Joe W. Rowland-This man was convicted September 2S, 1894. under charge Of murder and sentenced TOT life. -four other persons were charged with complicity in the same ohense. Three of these have been either paroieo or pardoned, and one was not pfose cuted to conviction. Thls man mas served a term of eleven years. The Board of Pardons unanimously recom- mend clemency. led to this by the fact that Rowland was hardly more than boy at the time of the offense, that his conduct has been good, and that a pe- tition in his behalf has been signed by a large number of citizens living in the community, including the prosecu- tor.
 "A parole is hereby granted him. de- pendent on his future good conduct"
 Nathaniel Robinson-This boys time would have been out on Septem- Der End. 1905. If he had had credit for good DendVlOT. HIS COHuuCI Has DCCh good during the entire service of his sentence, but he was not allowed credit for good time because he had served previous sentence. On investigation, however. I find that the previous sen- tence was for train riding, involving no moral turpitude, and I, therefore, think it proper to give him credit for some part of the time allowed for good conduct, and to that end it is ordered that he be pardoned."
 "Ab. Penton-This man was fined S125 for using obscene and profane language. The judge added three months in the county jail as an addi- tional punishment. The trial judge now thinks that this additional pun ishment was perhaps under the cir cumstances undeserved. and asks that the Governor relieve him from the con- finement.
 "It is ordered that when the fine and costs are paid he be pardoned the additional punishement."
 Robert Felton-This man has all ready served over two years for the theft of a COW. The trial solicitor writes the Board of Pardons that there is considerable doubt as to who really did steal the COW. Because of his doubt of the guilt of Robert Feiton he asks clemency for him. Many citi- zens of the community in which the theft was committed express very great doubt of his guilt. The Board of Pardons unanimously advise elem ency.
 Tt Is ordered that a pardon issue to him"
 "William and Jerry Few served a term in the penitentiary several years ago. They have been out some time. They ask for restoration of their civil and political rights. They file the legal number of signers to such petition.
 Their rights are hereby restored to each of them."
 Joe King-This mans short time expired December 10th, last. The Convict Department did not give him credit for good behavior because of an escape which he effected before reach- ing the penitentiary. He has. how ever, since he reached the penitentiary been a model prisoner. Many good cit izens join in a petition asking that he be given his freedom. A pardon is hereby granted him for the offense charged in these papers. It is also ordered that since the fines and the costs in the two misdemeanor cases have been recently paid that he be relieved of the hard labor sentence inn posed by the court, which sentence was imposed because of the failure to pay such fines and such costs at the time of conviction"
 Joseph King, among the foregoing subjects, owes the clemency in part to his father, w. R. King, of Oates, whose heart has all but bled for the disgrace of his son and finally managed to pay the fine and costs originally Imposed on the young man.
