PRIESTLEY PARDON PRORA BLE. Has Served Six Y on i's in thc Peniten tiary t'<*r Manslaughter. Columbia, Oct. 9.-Au Important pardon lias been recommended in the report of tho State Hoard of Par dons to Governor Ansel. The hoard; recommends executive ( leniency in the case of .lohn Priestley. The prisoner was tried at Walhalla at tho sumiller terni of the court. 1903, charged wit li murder. A verdict of manslaughter was rendered hy the jury, and thereupon the prisoner was sentenced to imprisonment in tho State penitentiary for a period of fif teen years, lt seems from tho papers submitted, that the deceased was a loader of a set of thirteen disorderly young men of that community who had for years indulged in many riot ous acts and wore known as the "bloody thirteen." Among other things they would waylay citizens upon the highway in pasisng from the town of Walhalla to the town of West Union and subject them to both insults and injuries, lt also appears that on the night, of the homicide, tho prisoner, passing along the high way near Wost Union, was stopped by a number of this gang, who were serenading and then threatening with violence. In the difficulties which ensued, he bred his pistol which killed tho leader of the gang. Por this offense he was tried andi convicted as above stated. The peti- | tion for pardon comes recommended by a large number of citizens of that community, all of whom testify to tho good character of the prisoner. Judge .lames Aldrich, who heard the case and passed sentence, endorsed upon the application that he had so little recollection of the testimony of tho case that ho was unable to make any recommendation. Solici tor Hoggs, who tried Hie case, en dorsed thereon, that in Iiis judgment tho verdict was right, but (hat tho only question was as to the length of Hie punishment. The prisoner has already served about six years of his sentence. Un der these circumstances tho hoard is impressed w li the thought that the majesty of the law bas beer, vindi cated, and that the prisoner lias been sufficiently punished for the" crime for which he was tried, and tho board would, therefore, respectfully iee lumend that tho prayer of tho petition bc granted.
