Non-support Of Family to Murder. !.
Thirty persons held in the South
Carolina penitentiary and in the
county ;,5ail received their liberty Sat
urday at the hands Of the governor
Of South Carolina when record for
pardons and paroles was made, says
the State.
Briefly stated, there were II life
time prisoners freed. Nine OF these
prisoners were convicted on charge
Of murder. One was convicted OF the
charge OF burglary and larceny, and
the other on a charge Of arson. seT-
en- were convicted on charge OF
manslaughter, the sentences ranging
from five to rs years. Several had
been convicted on minor charges, and
one was pardoned to restored citi-
zenship. -
Viewing the act Of the governor
from an economic standpoint, and
considering the pardon record for a
day made possible by the constitution
Of the State, it means that this State
was deprived Of the service Of con-
victs aggregating 2ss years. This is
for une1pired terms. The estimate
Is made upon an average OF 20 years
for lifetime prisoner. The average
length OF service is probably longer.
A liberal estimate Of the> value re-
ceiyed by the State for the service Of
convict for one year is 500, which
would make a total Of $4,000 lost
in labor.
There was clemercy granted in 80
cases. Legal statisticians have esti-
mated that it costs about $500 to con-
vict a prisoner In this State. This
would mean an additional $4,000
court expenses incurred. Taking the
sum total Of the expenses and value
to State, the governor expended $685.
900.
OF the II lifetime prisoners to re-
ceive clemency at the hands Of the
governor, Samuel Rec, the Chester
|county wife slayer, is probably the
most known than many others. He
was convicted in November, 1899, for,
killing his wife while she slept in his
home. The case at the time at
tracted great deal Of attention, and
public sentiment was against the
man. He has served IL years OF a
life term. The parole was granted
during good behavior. -
The papers granting the clemency
to the prisoners were made up in the
governors Office Saturday morning.
