N. O., of tlie Isroeoy of 1800 In tnonajr
“by triok and derloa.” Ao alleged
confederate named Darlington waa 10
Uctad with Harris, bat escaped cou
vWUon. Harris waa aentonced to five
years in tbe penitentiary, and for
tome time waa on tbo State farm, to
1 Halifax Oounty. Ill a difficulty be
to&ieted serious Injury ou one of tbe
guard a, and In re* urn waa shot In tba
Unmet, uaar tbe heart. This wound,
It waa thought at tbe time, would
Srov* fatal, but after several months
e recovered sufficiently to walk
aronod, but he waa forevwt disabled
from anything Ilka work, and will b*
an Invalid the remainder of bla life.
Hla heart waa injured by tba ball, ao
that it boats all tbo time like a trip
hammer, and tbe phyaloUns say that
bo may die any moment.
Hants evidently la from a food
family, lie la well educated, ana bis
manners sad address show that he baa
beeo reared io culture and leisure, H*
laexwendinaiy Intelligent, la well In
formed, and appears to bare seen muoh
of tbo world.
Harris, after being shot, waa re
moved to Halelgli, where be has been
ever arnoe. tits attorney prepared a
petition for pardon, and It waa signed
by all those In authority wboae request
and assent are required by tbe Gover
nor, and tbe facta, as hsnafter aat
forth, ware detailed. It waa thought
Got. Gan would grant a pardon Im
mediately. But It was aaeartalncd by
tbe Governor that Harris waa not tba
true name or tbe convict, and tbo
attorney was told by the Governor fo
set hla dteui and get from him hla
tree name and bla history, so that It
could be vtrilled, and If Harris was
not a noted escaped convict, or a netod
criminal who bad oommltted some
great crime, be would Issue tbe par
don. This waa a year ago. Harris
had then a little more then two nut
to MTV*.
Harris, in reply, declared that ho
waa not an escaped coo riot; that ha
bad aot committed a crime, and waa
Sot a fugitive from justice; but that
is family waa one of the best in the
land; that they were rich and Influen
tial; that be bad two or more sitters
who had married men high to office,
and before he would disgrace the
family by asking publio his identity,
be would die in the penitentiary or
eerre oat hi* term of two years, aa the
ease might be. And all tlw Informa
tion that could be obtained from him
aa to his family waa that hia father
was quits aa old man when he last
aaw him, and that ha waa a Post
0«oe Inspector under President
Arthur.
Harris has written to Gov. Carr two
jattaes which prove that he ia a man of
education, that he has been raised In
polite society, and that be is a very
intelligent and smart mar.. The let
ten have every appearanne of being
written by a person who baa bad long
connection with the preee. In each be
seta forth the reasons for bis pardon.
Got. Oarr is much Impressed with
the learning and ability of the eonviet,
end becauee of the mystery which sur
rounds him, and hia determination to
eerre oat hie term rather than make
known bn identity, the Governor be
lieves that Harris is a noted escaped
convict, or that lie baa committed
eoaae neat crime, and ie a fugitive
from joetlce. For this reason be lias
refused to grant the pardon.
