act.
Inc Speaker is satisfied with the
condition OF the country, declaring tina,
never before has the United Sta+ee
heen so prosperous.

GOV. BRADY MAKES GIFT
CONVICT is GIVEN HIS LIBERTY
AS GIFT.
Governor Brady Makes One Heart
Glad BY PardOning Power AT
State Penitcntiary.

Yesterday was a great day for the
prisoners at the states penitentiary
with turkey dinner at noon, and
minstrel show of home talent in
the afternoon. Governor Brady was
an interested spectator and before
leaving the prison presented George
Eggleton, one of the performers, a
Washington county convict, with an
absolute pardon as a Christmas gift.
The action of the chief executive was
unexpected. Warden Shook called
the ma, n who had two years time be-
hind the walls of steel and granite
staring him in the face, from among
his fellows who were making merry,
adm motioned him to one side.
Governor Brady, as the man entered
the ante-room. handed him a pardon
stating what it was briefly.
Eggleton was too much impressed
to speak. lie turned to the chief
executive. extended his hand and
sobbed aloud as he in his mingled
grief and joy, made his way back
into the assembly room where but a
few minutes before he was held a
prisoner. He passed thorugh the
gates with the governor, after he
had been allowed by Warden snook
to bid few Of his friends goodbye
a request that had been made with
trembling lips, and for which wher
granted he was as grateful as a child
.Eggleton was convicted two years
ago of a crime against a relative. II
has since developed that the charge
was surrounded by extenuating cir
cumstances. and it. was because of &
knowledge Of these facts that Gov
enor Brady selected him as the one
on which the state should bestow it,
gift for Christmas.
For many years in eastern prisons
it has been a custom, to release ont
or more convicts. although the prac
tice has not extended to Idaho. Th'
action Of the chief executive yester
day it is believed sets a precedent.
