John Black TO Go Free.


Governor Blease commuted, Mon
day, the sentence Of Major John
Black of Columbia, former director
of the State Dispensary, to five years
in the penitentiary or fine of $4,000.
Major Black was tried at Chester in |
the fall of 1910, on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud the State, and up
on conviction-the co-defendants, Jo-
die N. Rawhnson and J. Lee Solo
mons being acquitted-was sentenced
to serve fve years in the penitentialy.
Governor Blease's action of Monday
effected the commutauon Of this sen.
tence by allowing the alternative of a
fine.
This exercise of executive clemencG
in Major Blacks behalf recalls Gov
ernor Blease's often repeated declara-
! ton on the stump, II stand by my
frlends," and his statement in the
| senate, when it was proposed to allow
the attorney general a special fund
for the prosecution of dispensary
grafters, that John Black was his
friend and he intended standing by
him; 1"and if necessary I will go to
the penitentiary with nim.''
Acceptance of communication by Ma
| ior Black terminates, automatically,
his pending appeal to the supreme
court. The law books say also that
acceptance of a pardon has the
same legal effect as a confession of
guilt or of the existence of state of
! facts from which judgment Of guilt
would follow ENC. L-W, Vol. "a, p.
579), and the same authority says:
"Since the acceptance of pardon
admits the recipients guilt, when a
pardon is accepted, pending an appeal,
it's acceptance operates as an admis-
sioa that the criminal was rightly
convicted and therefore constitutes
ipso facto waiver of exceptions
taken at the trial." Pardon and COM
mutation are classed as of piece. In
this case the appeal had not been per-
! fected and thus the practice outlined
for dismissal of the appeal need not
be followed: $50 where pardon is
granted, accepted and brought to the
attention of the court, pending an ap-
peal, the appeal will be dismissed. {"
"The criminal,' says the law books,
"cannot be forced to accept a pardon" :"
TEXT OF THE ORDER.
Governor Blease issued the commu.
tation without comment, merely di-
recting his private secretary, Mr.. Al
exander Rowland, to make out the
usual form. When this had been
signed in duplicate, copy was placed
in the drawer where documents in
tended for the inspection If newspa-
per men are deposited.
The paper reads:
"Whereas, at Court Of General
Sessions and Common Pleas, begun
and holden at Chester County at the
November term, 1910, before Judge
Especially Ernest Moore, one John
Black was convicted of conspiracy to
defraud the State and was sentenced
to five years in the State Penitentiary,
now know ye:
THAT for divers good causes and
considerations me hereunto moving, I
! haye thought fit to commute, and by
I these presents do commute the SEN
| tence of the said John Black to tive
years in the State PS,itentiary, or pay
