Unable to grant a pardon she peti- toned for, because he did not feel the case justified such action, Acting Governor Pindall made Mrs. Bibb Will Hams of Malvern, who sought clemency for her son, Dave Moore, convicted of betraying a firl and sentenced to sev- en years in the penitentiary, present of $5.
 Mrs. Williams attempted to secure a pardon last week, but became sick while in the state house yard and could not reach the executive apartment. She returned to Little Rock Monday, and this time appeared in person before the governor. She informed him that she had heard the girl had said that money could buy anything" and in ferred that she construed that state. ment to mean that the girl had been bribed to testify against her son. The governor, however, did not consider a pardon should be issued on the strength of such rumor.
