OFFICERS Want TO
KNOW What TO Do
HOW MAY PARoLED PRISONER
WHO VIOLATES PRoVlso BE
RETURNED TO PRISON.

jackson, Miss, May 16.-It is said
that Attorney General Ross A. Col.
Inns soon will be called upon to give
"a legal opinion on a question that once
in awhile grows out of the pardoning
by the governor of prisoners on con-
Wet farms with provisos attached.
Many times the governor grants a
pardon upon certain conditions, in
many instances the stipulation being
that the person so favored shall not
become intoxicated and obey all of
the laws of the state, and a violation
of the conditions to put in force the
unserved part of the sentences.
The question that is bothering the
sheriffs of the state is how to proceed
when these conditions are violated
Such an instance came up a few days
ago, when a sheriff addressed letter
to the attorney general asking him
how to proceed against former con
vict who was let out upon condition
that he would not get drunk. The at
torney general wrote the sheriff he be
lieved, without going deeply into the
subject, the proper thing to do would
to have an affidavit made out against
the offender.
The question is what courts will try
the offender, if it is decided this mus
/ be done before he can be sent back tt
the farm to serve the unserved par
Of his former sentence. 1t is likely tn,

KEEN is REcAPTuRED

Jackson, Miss, May 16.-Long dis
lance messages received yesterday
stated that Virgil Keen, one of the two
white men who escaped from the jail
at Monticello Wednesday, has been
captured.
He was taken by posse while en-
tering his home. The prisoner will
now doubtless be strongly guarded, as
a serious charge, that of criminal as
sault upon his daughter, is lodged
against him.
White, the other man who escaped
with Keen, is still at liberty. Posses
with dogs are still searching for him.
The escape of the two men from the
Monticello Jail in broad, daylight ere
ated a sensation at Monticello. Nov
that Keen is safely in custody agar
/ there is feeling of relief, for he Ii
considered to be a desperate charac
ter.
