LINCOLN. Dec. 26.--(special. )-Goveruor
Mickey this afternoon granted pardon
to Charles d. Mcmillan, serving sem
tence of eight years for manslaughter
making a total Of twelve pardons he has
granted during his four years at the head
Of the state. During this time Governor
Mickey has also commuted the sentence
OF slxty-hve convicts, which, considered
with the pardons, breaks the record In Ne
braska for executive clemency.
These statistics show the governors par
don record complete and includes his COM
mutations of sentences imposed for the
more severe crimes only. In the matter
OF releasing convcts on parole Governor
Mickey has also broken record, the num-
ber during his administration being greatly
in excess of the number under any previous
governor.
Under the law prisoners serving time in
the penitentiary are allowed for good time
two months the first year Of imprisonment,
three months for the second and third
years and four months the fourth year and
each year thereafter. whenever their con-
duct as prisoners comes up to the require
ta Nhn raaaO inn
many of the communications have been
granted, It being customary to commute
sentence to include the good time allow
ance OF the prisoner. Some of the sem
tences have been commuted because of the
poor health of the convicts. The gov
ernor's record in each instance shows who
recommended executive clemency, and filed
with the records and part OF them are
letters received bearing on the matter.
Under the law the governor is required to
report to the legislature all the pardons
he grants, together with the combinations
of both penitentiary and jail sentences,
giving reasons for his action. This he
will do in his forthcoming message.
