SUGGESTION THAT
PARDON|NG BOARD
MAY Be CREATED
WOULD
Reports Show That There Were
25S Homicides in the State
From July, 1919, to July,
1920, of Which Number On
ly Nine Were Convicted of
First Degree Murder.
By Max AbernethV

Raleigh, Oct. 29.-Recent suggest
ions that the pardoning power be
shifted from the governors shoulders
to Sttae Board of Pardons have
brought the attorney generals report
for last year into use for the pur-
pose of learning whether there are
many appeals for executive clemency
i'll North Carolina in year time
Attorney General James S. Mann
ing's report for the period from July
1, 1919 to July 1, 1920 shows that
there were 25S homicides in this
State. OF this number only nine were
convicted of first degree murder; 10
OF second degree and "A of man
slaughter. These figures would indi-
cate that board of pardons would
have its hands full in normal times
But the homicide cases are not the
only ones which the governor is call
ed upon to review annually and
take over if it were created. For this
same period of 1919-1920 in North
Carolina there were 81 cases Of rape,
"a of assault with intent to commit
gree burglary and "A of second de-
gree burglary In addition to these
major crimes the attorney generals
report has the following listed:
Forgery 16O; larceny, 1926; sell
| ing Intoxicating liquors, 1868, and
, "other crimes and misdemeanors, c.
O6S."
There were 9,285 convictions Sc
cured by the State against law viO-
lators. This is an increase over the
previous year of 1,75S. There was a
marked increase in the number OF Ii
! quor cases and "other crimes and
misdemeanors," which the first de-
gree murder convictions dropped
from 3 to 8. Second degree murders
| in the State in 191S-1919 were 134
as against 10 last year, an increase
of So Rape cases increased three
while the charges of assault to com
nit rape were exactly the same foI
the last two years.
Creation of a board of pardons tC
hear appeals for clemencyy would
therefore, take a heavy burden from
the States governor.
