the incidental testimony. The 1

Should Get Apology
With His Parole
•R. R. Clark in Greensboro News.) |
Two years ago Andrew LeFevers,;
Burke county, under sentence for!
..vault with deadly weapon, was
paroled by Governor Gardner after
he had served three months, on the
ground that “the wrong man had
been convicted.” Which would se°m i
to mean that LeFeveTs was inr.o- j
cent, He has just been granted a |
full p.vdon by Governor Ehrlng
h»ns. Wonder is why an innocentj
man rlio had served three months
for a crime of which the governor
found him innocent, was not given
a full pardon instanter. Also an
apology. If an innocent man can
be released only on parole: must
wait a pair of years for complete
vindication, something should be
dene about It,
