One of the most peculiar rules that
was ever made by the Board of Par
dons went into effect on the 18th inst
and by its working, E. 8. Kendrick. he
who for the past twenty years has
served his nights and days behind the
prison bars, is free man between the
hours Of 10 o'clock in the morning and
4 o'clock in the afternoon, his only duty
to telephone to the prison at o'clock
every day and report his whereabouts.
He must not go beyond the confines
or Ormsby county and every evening
at four o'clock must return to the life

years he was allowed to walk the streets
of a city and to speak to his fellow: men
as one. of them. For the first time in
twenty years he was able to view the
wonders that had taken place in all

they passed to and:fro and to bA, able
is walk along without being branded,as
an outcast by the condemning stripes. ;
In all those twenty years that have
passed he has so conducted himself that
not one mark has been placed against
his name on the prison record and the
man who entered behind those bars has
changed indeed and now is one whose
hand can be shaken by the proudest
and leave no stain.
For number of years past, his friends
have tried to secure a pardon for him
but all in vain for his own flesh and
blood have interposed and their words
have been believed.
t The Board of Pardons have done a
good thing in giving to the old man
these few hours of liberty and every
one who has in any way been connect
ed with the pris oner or has learned the
life story of Kendrick, are hoping that
when the Board meets again, the pardon
will be made complete and final.-Car-
