day, what was the status of the state hoard of pardons, were told: "Well, 7 have recalled the papers that were in their hands and I do not Intend to refer any more cases to them." Which means the practical abolishment of the board. If the governor stands by his expressed Intention; yet the, law requires that the board shall meet regularly, on the first Wednesday of each quarter, and so It will continue to meet. Its members drawing $4 per diem and their mileage although their occupation be gone. The governor has not the power to abolish the board, nor Is It within the discretion of the board to neglect the attending of the regular meetings merely because the governor has ceased to refer to it any matters for con- t slderation. The board is composed of Messrs. R. Mayes Cleveland of Marietta: C. A. Savage of Walterboro, and Washington A. Clark of Columbia. Mr. Cleveland being chairman and Mr. Clark secretary. Mr. Savage's term expires next month, Mr. Cleveland's about a year hence and Mr. Clark's two years hence. ? A dispatch from Greenville says that the man who killed Officer O. S. Gunnels on February 17, and wounded Officer Johnson, has been found. He is one of two negroes who were lynched by a mob in Warren county, Ga., last Friday night. The lynching was for the killing of Conductor Thompson of the Central of Georgia railroad. The conductor was trying to eject two negroes from his train and they shot him to death on the platform of one of the cars. The officers got after the negroes, captured one of them and put him in jail. The other negro escaped. Later a mob broke open the jail and got this negro along with another who was also wanted for murder, took them to the outskirts of the town and hanged them. The bodies were sold to the . medical college in Atlanta and detectives notified the Greenville police that one of the men was Arthur Young, who ' answered the description of the negro wanted in Greenville. The dispatch says the Greenville police believe that Young is the right man. An Atlanta dispatch of Sunday tells the story of the identification and capture of Young as follows: Arthur Young, lynched with another negro murderer at Warrenton, Ga., last Friday night, being taken from Augusta jail by an infuriated mob, boarded a Georgia train at Camak last Wednesday and when questioned by Conductor W. W. , Thompson and a railroad detective pulled his pistol from his pocket and fired, killing the conductor. The negro was himself wounded by passengers and captured. He has a long list of crimes in both states. He was traced by Greenville authorities to Augusta, who just missed him before the lynching. His body was sold to the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons by the sheriff of Warrenton. He was recognized from scars and wounds by Officer Rector, who will carry the body to Greenville for purposes of identification and reward. The negro had many aliases and was known to have been one of the most desperate characters. He probably feared arrest for the Greenville killing when he shot Conductor Thompson, as 110 provocation was given. ? Columbia, February 27: Major John Black of Columbia, former director of the state dispensary, will not : be required to serve five years in the penitentiary for defrauding his state. Governor Blease today commuted his sentence from five years in the penl- i tentiary to a fine of $2,000. Major Black may serve his sentence if he so desires. He was convicted at Chester in the fall of 1910. His co-defendants, Jodie M. Rawlinson and J. Lee Solomons, were acquitted. This < exercise of executive clemency in , Major Black's behalf recalls Governor Blease's often-repeated declaration ] on the stump, "I stand by my friends," . and his statement In the senate, wnen It was proposed to allow the attorney general a special fund for the prosecution of dispensary grafters, that John Black was his friend and he ! intended standing by him; "and if necessary I will go to the penitentary i with him." Acceptance of commu- ? tation by Major Black terminates, automatically, his pending appeal to the supreme court. The law books say also thai ^acceptance of a pardon has the same legal effect as a confession of guilt or of the existence of a state of facts from which Judgment of guilt would follow," and the same authority , says: "Since the acceptance of a pardon admits the recipient's guilt, when a pardon is accepted, pending an appeal, its acceptance exonerates as an admission that the criminal was rigidly convicted and therefore constitutes ipso facto a waiver of exceptions taken at the trial." Pardon and i commutation are classed as of a piece. I In this case the appeal had not been i perfected and thus the practice outlined for dismissal of the appeal need not be followed: "So where a pardon is granted, accepted and brought to the attention of the court, pending an appeal, the appeal will be dismissed." ; "The criminal," says the law books, ( "cannot be forced to accept a pardon." Governor Blease issued the commutation without comment, merely directing his private secretary, Mr. Alexander Rowland, to make out the usual form. When this had been signed in duplicate, a copy was pmccu in the drawer where documents Intended for the inspection of newspaper men are deposited. The order of commutation, signed "Cole L. Blease, governor," is as follows: Whereas, at a court of general sessions and common pleas, begun and holden at Chester, at the November term, 1910, before Judge Ernest Moore, one John Black was convicted of conspiracy to defraud the state and was sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary. Now know ye. that for divers good causes and considerations me hereunto moving. I have thought fit to commute and by these presents do commute the sentence of the said John Black to five years in the state penitentiary or to pay a fine of $2,000. Given under my hand and the seal of this state, in Columbia, this 27th day of February, in the year of our L?ord. 1911, and in the 135th year of the independence of the United States of America." A CARD FROM DR. JONES. His Own Version of Hit> Address at Spring Street Church. To the Editor of The News and Courier: 1 do not mean to charge that your report of my address delivered at the Spring Street Methodist church on Monday evening, which appeared in today's issue of your paper was prompted by a desire to misrep resent me, but 1 do wish to say that if it had been inspired by such a desire it could not have succeeded more admirably. After having read the report over very carefully, I am prepared to say that not in a single instance where quotation marks are used Is my language correctly quoted. as such a twist is given to the alleged report of the speech in general as to render it a travesty. I did not make use of the words "dirty." "rotten." "demon rum," etc., attributed to me in the report. In describing the condition of lawlessness in the city of Charleston. I said that the fault lay back of the mayor and the chief of police, and that the conditions spell out an indictment against the system of government which so ties their hands that they do not even profess to fulfill the plainest terms of their official duty. 1 referred to the governor of this state and said that it was a very generally expressed belief that he was elected to his exalted position by the illegal votes of this city. I stated that his acts tended to make the city more lawless, and referred to the removal of the constables and to his veto of the commission government bill, which would have given the citizens of Charleston the right to decide whether or not they desired to change the system of their city government. 1 called attention to the fact that a petition that this right might be given the citizens had been signed by some 1.500 voters, including business interests. which, represented by a conservative estimate, more than $10,000,000. In characterizing this veto. 1 used the following language: "The governor is evidently carrying out his announced policy of remembering his friends." Our duty as citizens of Charleston should be to find out who these friends are, and also to remember them." Howard IHst longer and Run Lighter. Rogers' "1847" I mruc. rl? i c.
