Special TO The Evening Journal
DOVER. Aug. 7.-Governor Den
ney this morning signed the pardon
for James f. Nields. which was rec
ommended by the Board OF Pardons
at meeting last Thursday. Gov
ernor Denney returned last evening
from Rehoboth where he had been
spending a short vacation. The de-
lay in signing the pardon is said to
have been due to the fact that Gov

portunity TO examine the papers in
the case which were sent to him at
Rehoboth.
The pardon will be forwarded at
once to the Wotkhouse.
Up until ! o'clock this afternoon
the pardon had not arrived at the
Workhouse officials there said. II
is expected however that the pardon
will arrive during the afternoon and
in that case Mr.. Nields will be re-
leased at once.
One OF the grounds on which the
pardon was secured was that Mr..
Nields had an opportunity TO secure
position abroad IL released at this
time. After attending to some per-
sonal business in this country 1t is
said Mr.. Nields will sail for Europe.
