LOVE lIBERATES YOUNG
HUSBAND FROM PRISON
Roanoke Man Serving Time in Penl-
Tertiary for Forgery is Pardon
ed by Governor Mann.

RICHMOND, VA, April ID
Paternal love triumphed over stern
law today. when John !. East, a
comely youth of nineteen, walked free
from the penitentiary's confines. lie
had been pardoned by Governor
Mann and announced his determine
ton to hurry to his home in Roanoke
county to see his baby boy, about
two years old, whom he has never
before laid eyes ON.
Young East was sent to The peni-
Tertiary for five years by Judge Moi
fit lOr forgery about two anu a hall
years ago. Six months after he was
incarcerated in the penitentiary the
stork paid a visit to his little home.
Throughout the many dreary months
of Imprisonment he has received let
tiers from his wife telling of child
lsping dada" and how her heart
ached as she looked at the tot and
thought OF the whereabouts of her
husband. The letters contained the
further information that the young
wife, dlluOuSH ttty StiOhS NhCht -
to fight life's battles. was working
ten hours a day for five dollars a
week to support herself and the
child.
The contents of these letters grip
ped the heart of the young man, and
he asked friends and relatives TO OBJ
tain a pardon for him that he might
return home. see mis- child and work
for his loved ones. An attorney was
engaged. Judge Mofiit and the pros
ecuting attorney of Roanoke county
recommended that the youth be par
dOned and expressed the belief that
the ends of justice had been con
served by imprisoning East for two
and A half years. In addition, u
number of prominnt business men
wrote the Governor asking him to
pardon East.
