GOVERNOR GRANTS
PARDON TO TWO MEN
Long-Term Prisoner Released,
With Convict Who Protected
Road Force Guard.

Two conditional pardons were grant
ed yesterday by Governor Mann, who
had given attention to the matters
presented to him in connection with
these cases, during his hours OF con-
valescence.
One OF the fortunate men is Robert
Walters. of Danville, who has served
more than five years of sentence
OF sixteen years In the State Peniten-
tiary for robbery. Grave doubt, 1t
was said, has arisen Of the guilt OF
Walters. and court officials In Dan
Vile joined in the plea for his re-
lease. He had two sentences OF eight
years each.
W. NJ. Forrest, of Elizabeth City
County, also won release from prison.
He was sentenced in March. only two
months ago, to serve term OF one
year for forgery. His case was recon-
mended because OF his action in help
ing to defend a road guard In Smyth
County from the attack of rebellious
prisoners. Forrest took the part OF
the guard and perhaps saved him from
serious injury. The facts were made
known to Major James -B. Wood, SUI
perintendent of the Penitentiary, VINO
wrote a letter to the Governor asking
for conditional pardon for Forrest.

Two operations We're performed. and
ior several months he remained in a
