The pardon of Mr. Walker
aow would have a hud effect hi Tl
B^ncaster county. It would dis-i
ami rage the members ot the Anti^i'.unr
l.eaou-s and others who
are laboring to enforce the law I

would a' the same time on-M4r

v. Hevward received the lolviii^r
letter from Mr. Jno. T.
pen, chairman of the L>ucugConnty
Anti-Liquor League:
Dear 8ir : At the March term
of the court of general session
lor this county, one J< s I). Wa
ker, white, was convicted of Pel
ing liquor and was sentenced t
pay a tine of $500 or con tint
nient in the Sia'e penitentialat.
such labor as he was capabl
ot performing for a period of on
year.
I see it rt p irfed that a petitio
has been tiled in your office asl
ing for a pardon lor Walker. A
president, ot the Anti L:quo
league of this county I have bee
requested by our executive "con
inittee to give a brief history t
the c ise and to protest again
'he pardon of Walker.
l? will be urged that lie is a
old Conledeiate soldier. Whil
his is true, this man for tl
past 12 or 15 years has been
carbuncle on our town. By rei
son of his gtossly inunori
character he is without an assi
ciate among while people II
has been convicted in the Unite
States courts on the charge c
selling whiskey and has tor yea
been engaged in the illicit sal
of whiskey in this cominunit
even 011 the Sabbath. There j
now on the contingent docket i
'lie court, of ueneral session
another indictment against hi
for selling whiskey.
After the organization of 01
league last fall I went to him i
person and warned him of tl
consequences unless he stoppe
selling whiskey and so did otl
er members of the league. Hov
ever, he has deliberately defie
the law and the wishes of tl
good people of the town ar
county and does not deserve ar
consideration at the hands of tl
board of pardons or of your e:
cellencv.
His honor, Judge Klugh, w
thoroughly informed of the n
toriously had character of W?
ker and of the wish of onr pp
pie to get. rid oI him and hisco
rupt influence and as a resu
placed the fine at a tiguro whic
to some not acquainted with tl
tacts, might seem rather large.
Our Anti-Liquor league h
spent a pood deal of time at
money in its etForts to en for
the law against the saleofliqiii
in this county and theretore v
hope that your Excellency wi
letuse to pardon Walker.
Were he a negro we won
not care so much, hut he is
while man of intelligence, knov
better and is an old offender, n
only a^ains' liquor laws, hi
against i hlaws of decency
well.
Very respectfully,
