HORSE THIEF IS
GRANTED PARDON
GOVERNOR TURNS LOOSE A BAD
ONE AND PEOPLE ARE IN
DIGNANT.

/ ALAMO, Tenn, July 23.-Quite a
commotion was aroused in this town
when a Memphis paper gave the news
of the pardon of James Proffitt, the
noted horse thief, by Governor Patter-
son.
Many expressions of surprise and
Indignation were heard on all sides,
and some of Gov. Patterson's most
ardent supporters admit that he has
made great blunder.
1t is still fresh in the memory of the
citizens in this community how this
man and his pal were captured in
Forked Deer Bottom with the mules
hat were stolen in their possession.
After they were brought here, the
Sheriff, fearing a lynching had them
placed in Jail at Brownsville, and
when he was bringing the two from
the depot at Bells, this same Profit
threw snuff in Sheriff Henderson's
eys and dragged from his buggy and
made his escape, but was recaptured
about an hour afterwards.
He was tried before a jury at the
September term of court, 1906, and
sentenced to fifteen years in the pen
itentiary, and now to be pardoned be-
fore he had served one-fifth of his
term, is little more than the people
can understand.
1t is said that there has been no pc
tition from anywhere near this place
sent in, and every one Is at loss as
to how the Governor could, in the face
OF all these facts, pardon this man.
