Imprisonment, would have serious ly impaired his health, numerous physicians declared, and a pardon was asked- for; 'After thorough con sideration Governor Kitchin changed the sentence from the roads to a fine of J1.000 and gave the man a condi tlonal pardon. Those who first op posed the pardon, the governor sftid in his reasons forhls act, "think a conditional pardon under proper re strictions will serve the public In terest". Black must appear before a superior court judge and prove that he has been behaving. Otherwise His I 'anion Is Revoked. Nothing other than rumors and newspaper stories have reached the governor in the matter, and it is likely that he will take no r.ction Un til specflc charges have beein pre ferred in an orderly way. ' Those who asked for Black's pardon did not make the claim that ho was a good man, hut the case was one that demanded a lightening of the sent ence if the man could hope to live. Until proof has been furnished that Black has violated the provisions of his pardon, the governor may not be expected to act In the case. Letter to '.Governor...-.'
