PAROLE OF CECIL HUGHES
MAY LEAD TO OTHERS
Pardon Of One Boy From Reform Friends
Others TO Activity in Ef fort Have Them Released.

Several hours were consumed at
the annual meeting of the Prison As
ISOLATION OF Virginia. held tuesday
night In the rooms Of the Travellers
Protective Association. Besides the
election of officers and directors for
the coming year, the association con-
sidered the important question of
granting pardons to boys who are
held at the Laurel Reformatory. The
meeting was prolonged on account
of warm debate among the MEM
bers on the question.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the association by Police
Justice Burnley. OF Charlottesville,
who stated that he desired to secure
the parole of Cecil Hughes. a boy
who was sent to the reformatory some
time ago for attempting to sell a
number of cartridges that had peen
stolen from hardware store. Jus
tice Burnley stated the circumstances
in the case and requested that the
boy be released and turned over to
his parents. The father of the boy
was present, but did not have much
to say, leaving the entire case In the
hands of Mr.. Burnley.
The association took UP the mat
ter behind closed doors, several OF
the members thinking that It was not
well to recommend the pardon of any
of the boys at the reformatory.
