Freedom Is Granted
Roy Martin Tuesday '
Roy Martin, resident of ilit North jJ
Fork section, who was convicted at j
the March, lfigffi term of Watauga
Superior Court for the slaying itijl
Fred Ellison, ami sentenced to servej<
from five to seven years in the State
Prison, has been granted a parole by
the Governor, according to information
coming from Raleigh .Monday. .
It was stated the twelve jura'rs who
heard the case, the plaintiff and ail
the immediate members of the t'am- <
ily and hundreds of good and law i
abiding citizens joined in the plea
for executive clemency.
In granting the parole the Governor
said:
"I am informed that the .leronsed >
was a very dangerous and violent i
man; that he went to the home of
the defendant and was in a dangerous
state of mind. He had attempted
to molest members of the defendant's
family and had the son of the
defendant and was trying to cut him
when the defendant fired the fatal .
shot. The prisoner prior to this time had
borne a good reputation and it
is the general concensus of opinion
among those familiar with the case
that the prisoner shot in defense of ,
his son.
"Taking into consideration the i
time the prisoner has served and .
the mitigating circumstances surrounding
the homicide, and acting ;
upon the strong array of recommendations
in his behalf, 1 have decided
to grant the prisoner a parole at this
time, and he is, therefore, this day
paroled for the remainder of his
term, under the supervision of the
Superintendent of Public Welfare of
Conrfy. under condition
that he be of good behavior and engage
in gainful employment."
OXFORD SINGING CLASS TO

The singing class from the Oxford!.
Orphanage, it is announced, has been

fraternity feel that a large crowd)
will be present for the entertaining|
program, and benefit the hundreds ?f
children in the home who are repro-j
sented. An hour of genuine pleasure i
may be spent and at the same time,
a worthy cause benefited.

full of pep that he. had to hook net
to the buggy and give her a little

Maude, since a colt, has belonged

her long life has rendered faithfu
lt service-?has always been ready tc
,.s accept the bit, and never refused tc
(1 carry her burdens. And to look al

that during the fleeting years she
1 has r.ever missed a meal, or wanted

citizens, has borne his great age as
