TURNS BAD one LOOSE
NOTORIOUS ROBBER Is PAR
DONED BY GOV. BLEaSE.
No One Knew He Was Turned Loose
Until He Turned Up In Charles

a dispatch from Charleston to The
State says Rudolph Ra5ens. who has
several aliases, is back In that city,
having been pardoned by Gov. B!ease
afte. a service OF about two-th!rds o!
his sentence il the penitentiary. hav-
ing been convicted a: Walhalla for
completely in the blowing and rob
berry OF the safe OF the Newry mills
in Oconee county several years ago.
Through his attorneys. Raocns
made Z hard aght 20 keep out OF the
peaitentiary bat It was futile con-
Sest and he was placed behind the
bars. The pardon ot the governor
enables RaacrS 20 return to Charles
ton much sooner than he had hoped
10 do.
Rabens was charged with being
the fence for the gangs OF yess-
men who operated in South Carolina
some years ago. blowing safes ID
oostoeices ard cotton mills. In sew
eral instances better results were got
ten with the prosecution Of the yegs-
men in the State than :he federal
courts and the United States authori-
ties gave way 70 the State IN the trial
OF Rabens and his pals on the charge
OF robb!ns the Eewry cotton mills.
It was not known IN Charleston
that any steps were under way for
the pardon Of Rabens and his return
to Charleston without any notice OF
his case was surprise. His former
friends and companions could scarce
" believe that it was Rabens when
he showed himself few days ago for
the first time about his establish
ment on upper King street
The State says no announcement
as to the pardon OF Rabeus was made
by Gov. Blease. Gov. Ansel refused
a pardon to Rabens. and Il was
thought that such notorious Dris-
one- as he would surely have to serve
ou: his term. but It seems be found
favor with the Governor. and he
turned him loose. without letting
any one know anything about II be-
fore he was pardoned.
