IMPLICATED BY WOMAN,
FINALLY GETS PARDON

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1.-THE state
pardon board yesterday recommended the
full and unconditional pardon of Charles
Denton, of Colfax. La, sentenced in
1906 to a life term in the penitentiary for
being an accessory with Mrs. Savilla
Roberts to the murder of his uncle.
Harve Williamson, in 1903.
Mrs. Roberts was also sentenced for
life. but was pardoned. In joining her
efforts with others to secure the pardon
of Denton, Mrs. Roberts said that when
she implicated the green country boy, "
she was in love with him and did not
want to be in prison while he remained
free.
Another reason. she said, was that Dem
tons sisters laughed at her when she
was sentenced to the penitentiary.
