MURDURER IS GIVEN
 FULL PARDON
Given on Petition by large Num- Der of Citizens and Endorsed by Trial Judge.-PardOns are Granted Three Others.

Little Rock, Dec. 21.-Frank j.. Walker, of Ross, Mississippi county, who stood within the shadow of the gallows in the fall of 1911, is today a free man. He was granted a full pardon Monday afternoon by Gov. Hays, upon the petition of a large number of citizens, endorsed by Asso- ciate Justice Frank Smith, who was the trial judge at the time of Walk CTS conviction.
 On May 4, 1911, Walker shot and killed one Sam Smith in barber shop at Dell, as the result of a quarrel been black-balled in an Odd Fellows lodge which he had made application to join. He was sentenced to be hanged on July 31, but his case was appealed to the Supreme Court which affirmed the judgment of the lower court on Oct. 2. There was great in- terest in the case at the time, there being five white men in the peniten- tiary at the time under sentence of death. Strong pressure was brought to bear upon the governor to save Walkers life and on Dec. 13, 1911, Gov. Donaghey commuted his death sentence to imprisonment in the peni- tentiary for 99 years.
 Oct. IA, 1912, Frank Walker, with Yates Standridge and three other con- victs, escaped from the penitentiary camp at Arlberg, Searcy county, and reward of S400 was offered for the return of Walker. He was appre- hended after several months of lib- erty, and the penitentiary authorities paid a reward of $100 for him. Since then he has been model prisoner.
 Judge, Smith who recommended the pardon, says that he did so on account of the record he has made as prison CT, and the fact that he is in bad health. Judge Smith says that since Walkers conviction his wife has se- cured divorce and remarried. They have on child, born son after the tra- gedy which deprived it's father of his liberty.
 The governor has also remitted a fine of $100 assessed against Joe Hart in Little Rock Municipal court aJn. IT, last on a charge of illegal sale of whiskey. The pardon is granted on account of the condition of his wife and baby.
 A nardon was granted W. B. Estes of Pulaski county, convicted Decem- Der, 1914, of forgery and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. It is granted on condition that he shall never return to Pulaski county, nor violate the law, or drink whiskey.

The question of the identity of The Clutching Hand" is one that is now interesting the movie fans who have been following The Exploits of Elaine" closely since the first installment. Who il is that relentlessly follows the beau tiful luckless girl in spite of the at tempted protection of the scientific de- tective Craig Kennedy.
