Will Send Him to Mother
for Christmas.

Edward c. Rivers. of California.
is going to have real Christmas
this year. Last year he spent 1t
behind iron bars at Mare Island
penitentiary. This year he will
spend it with his old mother, thanks
to the kindness of the Department Of

few prisoners where the occasion
permits and where the prisoner
gives his word THAT he will try to
make good. Rivers was the first
one to receive a Christmas gift.
He was convicted in the United
States district court of Southern
California last December and was
sentenced to two years in the peni-
Tertiary for violation of the Harri-
son narcotic act. His sentence
would have expired January 26, 1929.
The Department of Justice will is
sue several more pardons to un-
forunates who arc now in prison
