FUQUAY PROTESTS
 PAROLE OF LACY
Alexander City Man Thinks Too Much "Maudfin Sym

SSl-S GHSb NAhiOuui bunk DuhulDH
 Montgomery, December 21.-(Spe- cial.)-A P. Fuquay of Alexander City has written Governor Kilby letter protesting against the parole of Theo convict department. who Is serving sentence of six years for the lar ceny of state funds and who has just completed 10 years for embezzlement. Mir. Fuquay enclosed clippings from a newspaper which recently com mended Governor Kilby following dispatch that Lacy probably would not be paroled.
 Mir. Fuquay said too much maud lin sentiment" entered into the en- forcement of the law.
 A large number of appeals for the liberation of Lacy on parole have como to the governor and board ot pardons, but this is the first protest. Dr. b. P. Moon, who was physician at the Wetumpka prison during 1919 and 1920, told the board Lacy had been one of the best prisoners he had ever known. During a part of this time he has acted as hospital stew ard" said Dr, Moon, and l never had a more conscientious service from any one. He did not hesitate in any eff fort to care for smallpox patients and others suffering with contagious and infectious diseases" Dr. F. A. Bos- well, physician at Speigner, said Lacy had suffered a severe nervous col lapse from overwork at Speigner and that he gave 16 hours day to his work. Hamp Draper, warden at Speigner, said he believed Lacy was due consideration for his long and faithful service.
 H. H. Lassiter of Plantersville, where Lacy's mother lives, appealed to the board to recommend clemency in order that Lacy might return home for the holidays. Other recommenda- tions were given by W. M. Blakey, Fred S. Ball, 2. c. Lewis, H. A. Wash ington and O. c. Humphrey of Mont gomery, Hooper Adams of Selma ana o. S. Finch of Birmingham.
