Governor Issues Few Pardons.

While Gov Crothers will not discuss
the application which has been made
for a pardon for DR. Edward B. Dawson.
who Is serving a Io-vear sentence on the
charge Of assaulting little girls. inmates
OF the kelso Home. his friends are pos
tive that he will refuse TO grant it. The
case will he heard BY the Governor on
Julv 7Srh.
When the application was made by
former Congressman Harry r. Wolf, the
Governor ordered it to be advertised. as is
the custom. Since then he has received
many letters protesting against executive
clenency in the case
No Governor of Maryland has granted
fewer pardons than Governor Cro,hers.
Since he became Governor he has fol-
lowed the rule that no pardon would be
granted unless It was recommended by
the Judge who passed sentence. the
States Attorney or the Jury that tried
the case. Objections from any of these
three have stopped him from granting a
pardon. 1t does not appear that the
application for Dr. Dawson's pardon will
be endorsed by the judges, the jury or
the States Attorney.
The trustees OF the Kelso Home have
announced that they will oppose the
pardon. They will meet this week and
make arrangements 10 employ a LAWYER
TO protest against the pardon The
ChlldrenS' Bureau of the Henry Watson
Childrens' Aid Society has also an
nounced that it will oppose the pardon.
