hcenes were enacted in the supreme

many persons present to blanch and
at other tunes to laugh. I he matter

The most dramatic moment (ol

former colored nurse of tho Flem
ings, and asked her if she could
''identity the man who she said was

petitioner, without cause, denied that
petitioner loves children better than

tiniial.
(iovernor kitcliin todav issued the
following pardons:
John McNair, Scotland county.
term, June 190ti, crime, murder
second degree. Sentence, twelve
years in states prison. Pardoned,
conditionally.
Reasons lor pardon: Counting his
commutation for good behavior
prisoner has completed over seven
years of his term. He was defended
by two young and inexperienced
attorneys who had practically no
time to prepare their case, having
been assigned bv the court to defend
prisoner just before the trial. Neither
the judge nor tho solicitor has now
anv recollection of the case, but the
attorney who assisted the .solicitor
recommends pardon, saving the state
had no direct testimony : and that.
there was no evidence tending to sup
port prisoner s contention that, the
shooting was accidental. There seems
to be strong doubt as to his guilt.
Tlie. clerk ot the superior court,
register of deeds, sheriff and many
other officials and citizens recom
mend pardon. Prisoner has a good
prison record. I tlierelore pardon
prisoner on condition that he 'remain
law-abiding and of good behavior.
Henry Bryant, Durham county.
Term, December lfllO. C rime, lar
ceny.. Sentence, ten months on
roads. Pardoned, conditionally.
Reasons for pardon: Prisoner has
both legs cut oft at knees. He was
convicted of receiving stolen chickens
and has sorvod about eight, of a ten
months sentence. On account, of his
phvslcal condition the board of
county commissioners, the solicitor,
the superintendent of the county
homo,', where prisoner is now con
fined, and others recommend pardon.
I therefore pardon prisoner on con
dition that he remain law-abiding
and of good behavior,
