VELMORE L. ROBERTS
PARDON Is REVOKED

1t is seldom that the Governor and
Council have occasion to revoke a
pardon, SO willing are the persons re-
ceiving clemency to comply with all
the conditions imposed. for the sake
o. freedom, but it became their duty
to so act at Wednesdays meeting, the
conditional pardon Of Velmore L.
Roberts of Dexter being rescinded and
he ordered remanded to jail, for not
fulfilling his agreements. The Coun-
Gil order is as follows:
Whereas, Velmore L. Roberts Of
Dexter, in the county of Penobscot, on
the eighth day of May, A. D. 1918,
was granted a pardon by the Gov
ernor, with the advice and consent Of
the Council, on condition that he
would be not guilty Of violating any
of the criminal statutes of the State
and that he should live with his wife
and support his wife and family, and
Whereas it appears upon sufficient
evidence that Velmore L. Roberts has
violated the conditions Of his pardon
1t is ordered that he be remanded
to the Penobscot county jail and con-
fined for the unexpired term Of his
sentence. The time between the par
don and the subsequent arrest of
Velmore L. Roberts shall not, in ac-
cordance with Chapter 140. Section s.
r. S. 1916, be reckoned as a part Of
his term Of his sentence.
Mrs. Roberts Letter
A letter written by the wife Of the
man to Robert A. Jordan, probation
officer of Penobscot county, seems to
give all the evidence necessary for
the Councils action. 1t follows:
IS Cliff Street, Barre, VT.
Mr.. r. A. Jordan,
Dear Sir:-I wrote you concerning
Mr.. Roberts and have heard nothing.
so will say it must be looked into as
I need support. I found out he is
working in section of Old Town called
Great Works and is making good pay.
Now I ask for his children. who are
in need Of support. Now. Mr.. Jordan.
they say he will probably have to be
put back in, but hope it can be fixed
up so he can work and support US
and If necessary l will came to Maine,
as l must have something done for
us. I hope to hear from you right
away as l am in need and l can't
stay here.
Yours truly,
MRS. V. L. ROBERTS.
The authorities say it's up to you
to look after this, as long as he is in
the State and county. and hope you
will do the best for the welfare of his
children.
