JAMES A. M00RE
. A FREE MAN
Governor Pardoned the Son of
Ex-Sheriff Moore.
PATHETIC SCENE
Moore Killed a Negro While Drunk
Jwo Bad Prisoners Received
ai the Penitentiary
Today.
Yesterday afternoon Governor Uussell
pardoned James A. Moore, serving a fif
teen year sentence in the penitentiary
for murder.
Seldom has a more touching scene
leen witnessed at the penitentiary thrfn
when ex-Sheriff IMoore, futher of the
ninu then occupying a felon s cell, ar
rived at the prison with a pardon for
his sou in his hand. The scene at the
prison may well he imagined. Sheriff
Moore, slightly bent with age, his hair
long and perfectly white from the snow
of seventy four winters, seized his son
in his arms and together they wept
aloud. The sad sweet joy of the meet
ing of father and son last evening must
have been intensified tins morning,
when, after nearly three years of separa
tion, the aged mother welcomed her hoy
feack tQ w u,ar
ui nonip near i.ipius-
bure.
James A. Moore is now about oo years
old. His boyhood was spent an Gran
ville county -where his father was once
sheriff. However for fifteen years the
famflv (has lived in Franklin county.
There at was in the campaign of 1894
that James Moore, maddened by whis-
kev. t ruck a negro mi the head and kill
ed hhn at a noiiricail meeting, tie was
arrested and tried for his life. Ha was
iinnllv convicted of murder iu the sec
ond degTee. Moore was brought to Ra
leigh and lodged in the jrail here. Hie
case was carried to the Supreme court
and the aged parents loft no stone un
turned to save their son ifroni a felon's
cell. However, a new trial was refused
and two and a half years Moore has
now- served on his fifteen year sentence.
Sheriff Moore has repeatedly been to
Raleich and plead with Governor Bus-
Rell for a pardon hut in vain nntil yes
terday. Col. J. C. L. Harris and other
counsel appeared, before His Excellency
for the young man.
Warden Russell says flint Moore s con
duct in the prison was very creditable
