Governor Donaghey Pardons Condemned Negro and Is
 Hung in Effigy.
DONAGHEY REINSTATEMENT
Chief Executive Bases Action on Pe- tition Signed by Jurors-Calls
 Mob Political Enemies.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 Little Rock.-After hearing the pc. titions of both sides, Governor Dona- Shey issued pardon to Robert Arm strong, negro convicted and sen fenced to be hanged September 27, for an attack on Miss Ella Hardcas- tie the night of October "A, 1911. Al ter considering all the evidence sub mitted and the transcript in the case, have been written by J. B. Brown, Jack the Shooter" Governor Dona- ghey declared that there was such doubt in the case as to require him to interfere with the verdict of the courts.
 The final proof on which the gov ernor based his action was the letter in the handwriting of Brown, the al- legged Jack the Shooter" who con- fessed to having committed the deed. In reviewing the transcript, however, Governor Donaghey, said that Miss Hardcastle's identification of Arm strong was by lighted match, which was allowed to burn only a few sec onds. The governor said that this vas insufficient to fix the indentifica- tion properly, and though he believed Miss Hardcastle was honest in her conviction that Armstrong was the man, he doubted if her identification was sufficient, in view of the alibi proved by Armstrong and the Jack the Shooter" letter.
 This is the first time within recen years, at least, when a man sentenced to be hanged has been absolutely pardoned. There have been cases where communication of sentence has been granted, and the man so spared from the moose finally has been par doned, but no case of the uncondi- tional pardon of man sentenced to be hanged.
 Governor Hung in Effisy.
 Three effigies of Gov. George W. Donaghey greeted the eyes of the citi. zens of Little Rock as they came to their places of business the morning after the pardoning of the negro Arm strong, one in the vicinity of the Union station, another on Center street, at the corner of the alley be. tween Markham and Second streets and the other on the free bridge mid way between Little Rock and Argenta
 All three of the dummies were made
 om clothing stuffed with straw, two of them having placards attached. The effigy on Center street was cut down by Sheriff Norman A. Beller, on his way to the courthouse about 8 o'clock Two signs were attached to the effigy one above and the other below, bear ing an insulting inscription. This dummy was removed to the sheriffs office, where it has since reposed.
 Thomas Doyle. watchman on the free bridge, had his attention called to the effigy on the bridge while going to work and removed It. It is thought the deed was done by persons who dis approve of Governor Donaghey's ac- ton in releasing the negro, Robert Armstrong, who was tried and con victed on a charge of assault. The effigy near the Union station was re- moved in the morning, but did not have a placard attached.

the most dangerous on the system of the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Co. although the watch fulness of the crossing tenders has prevented loss of life.
 Gates are fmpracticable at that crossing by reason of the immense traffic and the general layout of the vicinity and in consequence the cross- ing tenders must be on their jobs ev- cry minute during their tour of duty and in the summer time they are aid ed by a policeman stationed there at the expense of the city. Az the rail- road company has plans for the abol- iEhInent of the crossing in connection with the utilizing of the new bridge across the Thames river, the city gov ernment and the general public have been ehary about making any formal complaint to the utilities commission. and the leniency of action is to be commented, and is no doubt appreci- ared by bha railroad company.
 There were at least two matters of public interest accomplished the present week that have been long de- layea and which have been the cause of almost uninterrupted criticism for a year or more. One is the replacing of
 
 pedestal at the water fountain at the junction of Truman and Bank streets, and the other is the placing of the new city clock in the steeple of the First Church of Christ. The new Hebe Is of imitation bronze and is a duplicate of the cup-bearing goddess who was found spraWling in the mud, decapatated at the base of the foun- tain. Now that Hebe poses as the monarch of all she surveys, 1t is to be hoped that the street committee or some other committee, or some indi- V1d1lRl member of the court of com mon council will take the initiative that will result in keeping the sur roundings of that drinking fountain in presentable shape, and that the fountain, for the first time, be placed in full working condition, so that the dog and small pony can get & taste of Konomoc as well as can the flf1- grown horse; and also that the thirst of the human being can be quenched provided he wants to take a chance against the now accepted laws Of san ltation.
 The old city clAelk, and 1t certainly was old, threescore and ten and more and then some more, had been erratio for ths past decade and finally became thoroughly unreliable. 1t was coaxed along for a time and finally stopped e1anz%, never to go again. Alderman OLeaFy was the first to advocate ths 1 purchase of new city clock and his motions were either delayed CT pigeon holed in q parliamentary way until he l finally succeeded in getting the ap- i BFepr1ation for the pTrehase of the olook voted in annual city meeting, | The new closk is now in place and its ] face and features look well snd there | is noticeable increase in the volume of the hourly announcements, and ii l stars well as en accurate tsmskeeper After 8 short time the elack will be fully regulated and it will bs looked uP to as being thoroughly reliable. ir marked contrast to the latter years l of the venerable clock that did faith ful service for many years, some be- yend the memory of any iving man.
