Peters, but the railroads could not
do II. The public would be down on
us in a moment, If we refused to
carry the malls; the business OF the
company would suffer an immense

GOVERNOR PARDONS
LEXINGTON NECRESS

Governor Stuart yesterday granted a
pardon to Minnie Watkins, colofed'
who was serving one-year sentence
in the Rockbridge county Jail at Lex
ington for assisting in the eN,ape OF
a prisoner. The pardon was recon-
mended by Judge H. w. Holt.
The escape in which the woman
figured occurred year ago, and at
that time she was arrested and has
been held in jail since that time as
witness against the father of the pris-
oner who was also charged with aid
ing in the escape. The man was tried
three times before convicted. at last
being given three years in the peniten-
tiary Owing to the fact that she con-
fessed to her part, the court had no
other alternative than to give the wo-
man the minimum sentence, but in
view of the fact that she had already
been in Jail for a year, the presiding
judge recommended her pardon.
