Reason for Woman's Pardon.

PIERRE, s. D., Jan. L-(Special.)-
From the tone Of the Yankton newspapers
they appear to be somewhat wrathy
over the recent pardon of Mrs. Earl Sad
dler, sentenced from that county on-a
charge OF conducting a house Of p~rostitu
ton. The woman was given a sentence OF
six months in the ~penitentisry, and her
sentence was reduced one month by the
action OF the governor. His action was
taken on the recommendation of the State
Board Of Corrections, the prison physician
and the warden, on the representation that
the woman would become a mother before
the expiration Of the sentence, and the
action was taken to save the child from
the stigma OF prison born'' The act was
one which is believed to nave been justified
by the conditions, and the criticism is no
doubt based largely on ignorance OF the
conditions.
