there was no relief, resulted in his death.
Funeral services were at Breedsville

'N CROOKS BEHALF
PLEAS TO PARDON BOARD FOR A
 YOUNG CONVICT.
Influential Delegation Appears for Man Who Committed Forgery AL though Prominent in the
 Affairs of Gadsden.

Several hours yesterday morning the State Board of Pardons heard pleas for recommendation of clemeney for Sam
 w Crook. formerly one of Etowah County's best known young men, who is serving a sentence of six years at the prison at Speigners for forgery.
 During the long plea for clemency, the wife and sister of the convict sat in the ofice of tho Secretary of State, where the Board met. They were sur rounded by their true and stauneh friends. numbering some of the most prominent men of Alabama.
 The story of Sam Crook contains much that is pathetic and teaches a lesson. He is a young man, connected with one of North Alabama's most prom inent families and was once regarded as one of Gadsden's most promising business men. He went into specula- ton. The market went against him. He lost what money he had saved during his young manhood He had become desperate. He wrote the names of friends to checks and on account of his good reputation, the checks were not questioned at the banks.
 Things again went wrong and his plan to cover up the signing of the checks failed. He was revealed as a common forger. He was tried and on December IS, 1905. was convicted of forgery in the city court of Gadsden. His friends afterwards made the amounts good but Crook was then a
