thur Whitenor of Washington county.
who was convicted of manslaughter
in connection with the killing of
Nathan Anthony i'll July, 1914, is the
charge made by Fayetteville news
paper. The newspaper charges that
Governor Hays was imposed upon By
men who were hired by Whitenor's
friends 10 secure the convtct's re-.
lease.
Anthony was employed by White
nor on his farm in Washington eoun-
ty. According TO the evidence,
Whitenor stabbed his employee to
death with a pitehfork following a
trivial quarrel. In March, 1915,
Whitenor was convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced to serve
three years. Governor Hays par
doned him December 81, 1915.
Bitter feeling was aroused in Fay

the man was charged with first de-
gree murder. he was not even placed
in jail. but was allowed to remain
at a Fayetteville hotel
