Jones, of Orangeburg County, who was sen tenced to ten years and one month for the killing of Abe Pearlstine, at Branchville, was nipped in the bud by the announcement from Governor Blease that he isn't going to pardon Jones. What may come up later can not be told at this time, but at pres ent Governor Blease will not act fav orably in the matter. He refused a petition for the pardon of Jones a few days ago. This petition came from Edgefield. The forerunner of a second peti tion from Orangeburg was the pres ence in the city of two of counsel in terested in the case. Governor Blease was not in the office when the Gov ernor was approached on the subject of whether or not he would reopen the case, he said that he would be glad to hear counsel, but he has de cided not to pardon. No steps have been taken to further the petition from Orangeburg. The presence of counsel here led The News and Courier correspondent to ask Governor Blease this afternoon about the John Jones case, and Gov ernor Blease stated the circumstances and said that he would not at this time extend Executive clemency for the same reason as moved him to re fuse the petition that came from Edgefield. No papers were filed from Orangeburg. A petition may later be presented for the pardon of Jones, but it can be authoritatively stated that Governor Blease will not now, if ever, pardon John J. Jones.

Fatally Burned.
