Thirty Christmas Pard0ns
Issued by BIeaSe.

Thirty prisoners held in the South
Carolina penitentiary received their
liberty on Saturday at the hands OF
the Governor of South Carolina, when
q record for pardons and paroles was
made.
Briefly stated, there were II life
time prisoners freed. nine OF whom
were convicted on a charge of MUIR
der. One was convicted on the charge
of burglary and arson. Seven were
convicted on a charge Of manslaugh-
ter, the sentence ranging from five to
twenty-six years. Several had been
convicted on minor charges and one
was pardoned to restore citizenship.
Eliminating the question of the NOR
al right to grant pardons promiscously,
and viewing the act of the Governor OF
South Carolina from an economic
standpoint and considering the pardon
record for day made possible by the
constitution of The State, it means
that this State was deprived of the SER
vice Of convicts aggregating 239 years.
This is for unexpired terms. The esti-
mate is made upon all average of 20
wears for a lifetime prisoner. The
average length Of service is probably
longer. A liberal estimate of the val
ne received BY the State for the SER
vice of convict for one year is $500,
which would make total Of S23. 800,
lost in labor.
There was clemency granted in 80
cases, legal statisticians have estimat-
ed that it costs about $500 to convict
prisoner in this State. This would
mean an additional $4,000 as court
expenses incurred. Taking the sum
total of the expenses aud value to
State, the Governor of South Carolina
on Friday expended $4,000 of the tax
payers money.
Of the eleven lifetime prisoners to
receive clemency at the hands of the
Governor, Samuel Reefe, the Chester
county wife slayer, is probably the
most noted prisoner. He was con-
yicted in November, 1899, for killing
his wife while she slept in his home.
Governor Blease assumed Office on
the 18th of last January, and since
that time he has granted clemercy il
mere tl e 320 cases.
