Reha. who was a pnroled convict from

day to twenty years for assault upon n
widow who lives near Henry. and three
years for burglary committed less than
twenty-four hours previously. Reha wds
captured from the description given BY
his victim and entered a plea OF guilty

had numerous cases where such persons
had been brought before him for trial
within brief periods after they had had
this clemency extended.
