But his sentence was commuted to life Impris onment. Pardon was granted by Gov ernor Craig, as one of the last arts of hia administration, on the condition that the pardoned man be a good citi zen and obey the law. Granting the pardon, Governor Craig ays: "This prisoner was sixteen year old at the time that be committed the crime. He has been in prison almost tea years. The homicide resulted from a BU'ldoti quarrel. The prisoner had no malice toward the deceased. Bis brother-in-law, who was a mature man, got into the quarrel and the fight during which the prisoner shot the deceased with an old worn-out pistol. Re was at the time under the influence of some drug or whiskey procured in company with his brother-in law, and evidently did not realize what he was doing. Mr. D. E. Hudgins, who represented the pri vate prosecution, recommends the par don on account of the youth and the intoxication of the prisoner. He de served and has received severe punish ment. This homicide was in a passen ger coach used by negroes. On these public conveyances the law should be rigidly inforced, hut considering all the circumstances, the exceptionally good record of the prisoner, his abnormal condition and his youth, he has been sufficiently punished."
