made their celebration Of Christmas

exceeds all Biease's previous records.
II challenge the world to point out
any pardon that have granted where
there was no merit In the case" said
the governor today. "An pardons
granted by me are Endorsed by judges
and Jurors. Other governors did not
have the nerve to pardon men deserv-

Justice not only will be done to the
suffering man In such case. but the

The releasing today OF eighty con-

Of the list In the number Of perdons
granted by any one governor In the
United States, more than 500 having
been granted In two years. and almost
