Young Man Was Serving Sentence of Fifteen Months.?Was led Astray by Bad Company. Columbia. Sept. 14.?Governor Manning yesterday granted a parole during good behavior, to Robert Kennells, a young white man convicted at the October, 1914, term of court in Greenwood county, before Judge Sease, and sentenced to serve fifteen months on the public works of Greenwood county. This is the same case in whcih the governor, on !lril lfittt frrnnfnd a n?rn1f? ? _ r for ten days for the purpose of allowing the prisoner to visit his mother, who was at the time very ill. The prisoner returned to the chaingang at the expiration of the ten J' days, and is reported to have been a model prisoner. Judge Sease, who presided at the ( trial, recommended that the sentence s be commuted to ten months; the ^ prosecuting attorney. Solicitor R. A. Cooper, also requested that the pris- ^ oner be paroled. Several letters have been received by the governor { in the case; and the board of pardons unanimously recommended f that the sentence be commuted. In addition to this the governor yesterday received the following letter from Dr. John W. Williams of Honen Path: j "Wish to state that Mrs. Kennells ( is gradually growing weaker every day and before many days have gone '' she will have passed Into the great bevond. She is unable to get up at t all and is absolutelv helpless. i "I would like very much to see her last days made as happy as possible, and anything you can do will be gratefully appreciated to all parties concerned." Among tie1 papers tiled in this '' case is a letter from the magistrate 1 before whom the preliminary trial a was held, in which the magistrate y states that this was was. in his opititon. led into the trouble by a bad 1 eomnaninn. and that Kennells has '' flier's duties while roving the seas a aboard ship.

'' Ft is a sad case indeed, a young boy led astray by his companion and 1 having to suffer on acco nrt. o? an act s committed while in^ company. v "While the boy has '/Pen suffering Im- ' prisonment tor ,?b crime, his poor ' mother is 110 ''probably on her death 1 bed: and according to statements ' cont r..ed in letters received at the ' ' i governor's office, she is pleading for ' fne return of her son before she is ' , 'called to the great beyond. The gov- f / ernor today wired the supervisor of f Greenwood county that parole has ' been issued and to allow the boy to 1 go to* his mother's bedside at once. The following is a copy of the tele- ' gram sent to the county supervisor ' of Greenwood: ' *'[ have today signed parole for ' Robert Kennells. Send him to his mother's bedside at once. Parole 1 goes to you by mail." The governor also sent the follow- * ing telegram to Mrs. J. II. White. 1 Ware Shoals, sister of Robert Ken- v nells. hoping that if would serve to ' comfort the mother and ease her 1 aching heart: "Please tell your mother to lie of ! good cheer; have today signed parole ' tor Robert during good behavior, and ' have wired supervisor to send him to * liis mother's bedside at once." _ I UXCASTKR IIOV SUNT TO HAITI, t I Hoke (Irrgory Anions Marinrs on s Cruiser Tennessee. i Special to The News. < New York, Sept. 15.?With the t United States Marine Corps Field < Artillery Hattalion, rushing on the \ cruiser Tennessee to join the marine < rorps forces landed in Haiti for the < protection of American interests in i that war-torn little isle, is Hoke i Gregory of Lancaster county. \ Hoke, who is the son of Roach : Gregory of Taxahaw, S.
