peal, John Walton, negro Federal
prisoner in the London Jail, secured
a pardon, signed by President Wood
row Wilson.
When Watson was handed the
pardon, he was so overcome that he
fell on the concrete floor of the jail
and was knocked senseless. When
he recovered consciousness his, first
words were: THAT jes proves hit
don't pay to see the little fellows.
Go to the big ones first" He added
that Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow
Wilson are the only real friends the
negroes ever had.
Walton lived in Bell county and
was convicted at the November term
Of the Federal Court of perjury. He
was sentenced to one year in Fed
eral prison, which was reduced by
Judge A. NJ. J. Cochran to one year
in Jail.
Walton wrote a letter to Presi-
dent Wilson and said in it he was
spending his last cent to have 1t
typewriter and to purchase a
stamp. His spelling and punctua-
ton were copied into the typewrit-
ten letter. No Endorsements of his
request or other petition .accompan-
led his letter, and the sincerity OF
his appeal seems to have carried its
own conviction to the heart of the
Chief Executive.
