i. R. BROWN, JR., NEW REGISTER
Late officials Son is Appointed to
Serve in New Castle Office

Governor Robinson Thursday ap-
pointed Isaac R. Brown, Jr., register
of wills of New Castle county TO fill
the unexpired term left vacant by the
death of Isaac r. Brown the new reg
ister's father The term expires on
the first Tuesday in January. 1t is
understood that the Governor, because
of the uncertainty over the register
of wills Office situation and the cleo
tion of j. G. Highfeld, Jr., at the
polls on Tuesday, will request the en-
tire State judiciary for an opinion on
the Governors duties in the situation.
The Governor, however, made no
statement as to his future action He
said he made the appointment after
consulting his legal aides as to the
legal phases of the situation.
The Governor is apparently going
On the theory that J. Gilpin Highfeld,
register of wills-elect in the Repub-
lican victory of last week will assume
the Office when the term of the regis
ter expires in January, unless an is
sue should be made of the appoint
ment in the courts.
In that case it would have to be
determined by the courts whether the
Governor should make an oppintment
for two years or whether Mr.. High
field who was elected on Tuesday
should assume office for four years.
Mr.. Brown is the youngest official
to hold an Office of such responsibility
in the State. He was 26 years old
last May. He has been kept busy re
ceiving congratulations since his ap-
pointment.

LIFE TERMER GRANTEDPARDON
Alfred Roach Shot and Killed Wife
in 1921-Was a Model Prisoner


One pardon was recommended and
three refused at the regular monthly
session of the State Board of Pardons
in Dover, Thursday. The man who
received a favorable recommendation
is Alfred Roach, negro, sentenced to
Imprisonment for life for the murder
of his wife in 1912. They had a quar-
rel and he shot her. The reasons
given for the recommendation for
pardon was that for fourteen years
he had been a model prisoner and had
cooperated in making the honor sys-
tenn at the Workhouse a success. The
application of John Lavinus, which
had been considered at a previous
meeting, was refused. The same ac-
tion was taken in the case of Naz-
zarino Falconi, sentenced to two terms
of ten years each for assault with in
tent to commit murder on John ].
Harkins, which had also been heard
previously. He has served one term
of ten years. George S. Lucas, pres
ident of the honor system at the
Workhouse, who killed William Deats
at the Pennsylvania Railroad station
in Wilmington on April Z, 1919, and
was sentenced to 18 years, made ap-
plication for a pardon but was re-
fused.
