GRANTS ! PARDONS
/. j. JACKSON AND ID. 8. MATHEWS
ARE RELEASED.
Two jefferson County COnvicts Are
Subjects of Executive Clemency--
Recommended by Board of
Pnrdoua.

Two pardons. bne for a negro boy
serving a sentence of year and forty
five DAYS. and the other for a negro man
with a sentence of ten years, were is
sued yesteday by Governor Jelks.
The boy to whom the pardon was
granted, was l. J. Jackson, who was
sentenced In the Criminal Court of
Jefferson County in March, on convict
ion of a charge of grand larceny. The
sentence included one year for the con-
vicfion and forty-five days for costs.
Since he was sentenced. however. the
trial solicitor and judge which con-
victed the boy, have expressed doubt
to the Governor of the boys guilt. They
appealed to the Pardon Board, which
recommended clemency.
Dave s. Mathews. convicted october
6, 1908, in the Criminal Court of JEFF
ferson County, of the charge of assault
to murder, was the other prisoner re-
leased by executive action. In note
attached to the order of pardon. the
Governor presents the history OF the
case, and the reasons which actuated
him in ordering the man set free. The
note follows:
This man was charged with assault
ing two baliffs. They undertook to ar
rest him without a warrant, for play
ing craps. The two were in effect, one
case. the two offenses being committed
at the same time. In the first case,
Mathews was fined $50 for assault. to
which the judge added ninety days
additional punishment. Having worked
out the first sentence, he>w was brought
up again. and this time convicted of as
sault with Intent to murder and the
Judge assessed a sentence of ten years
The trial judge concludes long sum-
ming of the case by the statement that
the ten years sentence now seems to
him to have been too severe. The
trial Judge believes that he has suffer-
ed sufficiently, having been in the PEN
itentiary on account of thfs last case
since~ October 6. 1908. The Board OF
Pardons is of the opinion that he was
not guilty. of anything more than that
offense. assault and battery) in the
second case. The. Board recommends
