 Judge Gautney says he does not propose to permit the governor 10 run over his court, that he will stand upon this statute and order K1app to jail. He denies that Klapp is in such physical condition that confinement in jail would result seriously. He states Klapp is a dissipated man and that whatever physical infirmity he has is due to intoxicants or drugs and that confinement in jail would improve rather than impair his health.

TROUT SECURED THE
 PARDON FUR KLAPP
(Arkansas Gazette)

The proclamation issued by Gov Hays Monday relieving Will P. klapp, Jonesboro druggist, of the re- mainder of a jail sentence of 150 days, which he was given in addition to $500 fine on his conviction on a charge of illegal sale of whiskey, will be revoked at once, said Gov Hays last night, following a tele- phone conversation with Mayor Bur ress of Jonesboro yesterday after noon.
 Governor Hays issued a proclama- tion following the receipt of letter signed by two physicians saying that Mr. Klapp was seriously ill and might not live if he was required to serve out the remainder of his sen- tence.
 Many protests have been made by the people of Jonesboro, according to Mayor Burress, against the re- lease of Klapp, who is one of trio of alleged illicit whiskey sellers against whom fight is being con ducted.
 Governor Hays said last night:
 w. O. Trout of Jonesboro present. ed to me a letter signed by two phy- sicians saying MT. Klapp was ill at this time and confined to his bed, and it would greatly endanger his health, possibly prove fatal, if he had to serve out his sentence in jail. On this representation, I issued d proclamation relieving him of the jail sentence, conditioned that if he was ever found guilty again of sell ing liquor or being interested in the sale of the same, the proclamation would stand revoked.
 "However, MT. Burress, mayor of Jonesboro, phoned me this after noon that this was one of the cases of which he notified me few days ago, and l said to him that that be- ing true and in view of protests as he stated against MT. Klapp being relieved of the jail sentence, I stated to him that the proclamation would be revoked at once"
