deal. The defendants stoutly main
tained from first to last their inno
cence of any conspiracy and carried
the case to the Supreme Court,
twice, first for a new trial which
was denied, and later cn the ground
Judge Hoyle Sink had, contrary to
law, imposed both fines and prison
sentences. They won in the second
appeal, and it became the duty of
J udge Townsend later to sentence
them the second time, without a re
trial, although the judge is said to
have carefully pevused the record of
the evidence in the original trial. It
was then that he promised to recom
mend a pardon from the prison terms
if the defendants would pay
the county treasury $30,000, which
ho figured would about cover the
loss which the county had sustained.
Before Tvre Taylor, retired from
tiie office of pardon commissioner,
he went to Brevard and made an
investigation, including a public
hearing, which had been advertised
and which v.-as largely attended by
citizens of the county. As a result
he drafted a recommendation that
the men be pardoned.
According to information non
Transvivania County, it has beei
assumed until Governor Ehringnaus
announcement was received, that th<
men w< uld be pardoned, althougl
their counsel had ivpea*ei"y Vlsl’;e<
Raleigh and spoken to the Governoi
about it, only to be told that he hat
not had time to review the case. F
seems that he reached his decisioi
Saturday afternoon following i
lengthy conference with Parole:
Commissioner Edwin Gill. The an
nouncement is said to have create!
something of a stir in Transylvania
The Supreme Count in its decisioi
on the fust anpeal, freed three oi
tim five former board members, oi
the ground of insufficient evidence
against them, but affirmed the judg
ment of the lower court as to the
other two commissioners Mr. Pick

president of the bank. Thomas H
Shipman, and the ccunty attorney
Ralph Fisher.
The Brevard people hold that jr

instance where clemency by tin
Governor would be in line with tm
demands of justice and in accordance

Sugar Loaf Mountain and inter
secting the Island Foard road near
the residence of E. 0. Shipman had
! been left off of the state-maintained
j mileage, and
Whereas on June the 4th, 1S32 a
petition signed by Mrs. H. S. Jordan

j by law, asking that said Board r«

Whereas, in the drafting of said
ksolution the Board of Connnis
| sioners in the opinion of the State
Highway Commission, failed to fol
low the provisions of the statute in
1 connection therewith, leaving its
purpose and intention rather vague
and indefinite, for which reason the

the Board, and
Whereas the Chairman of the

M. Jeffress. has stated that upon
receipt cf the proper resolution re
