REASON GIVEN FOR BATES' PARDON Goventor (granted Clemency Because lie lBelieved Insanity Prompted Deed andi Because of Large Petition. . -Because he believes .oe Hates was Insane when he shot to death Mrs. i)ocia MIoiter, an 18-year-old white wo man, at the house of W. B. Cox, of this city, on Sunday morning, August 29, 1909, and because a petitlon was pre sented signed by more than a thous and citizens of Spartanburg, are among the reasons given by Governor Blease for the full pardon granted Joe 3ates. "Instead of being convicted as he was, SIthink he should have been acuiuitted and placed in the asylun', for treat ment," s:ays the governor. The following are Governor hllease's reasons in full: "'Convicted at the October, 1909 term of court for Spartanburg coun ty, of murder, and sentenced to be hanged; sentence conmuted to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary onl .fitly 8, 1911. ".\atny personal letters were re eelved in this case; so many, in fact, that it would be impossible for me to give even a synopsis of them all. low ever, I iuote from a few, as follows: ".Mr. Floyd L. Liles says: 'I ask you, to pardon .Joe Hiates. lie was a police man for years while I was on the council. Spartanburg never had a bet ter man or more popular officer, and lie has many friends hero who would he glad to see you give him a chance to start life over, and I believe he will make good.' "Mr. W. II. Hlallett says: 'Bates worked for tfie for years and l feel sure that he did not realize what he was doing at. the time lie shot tie wo man and I don't think he i~s a danger ons nman to be at large.' "r. 11. F. Shockley says: 'I never have felt that Joe :tes was responsi ble for his acts when he committed the uffe'ns w h hit he is serving son tence for. Evblently he was insane at the time. I hil known him before that time for twenty years and knew him to be a good citizen.' "\lr. .1. P. IH elo says: 'I told my wife that .oe Blates' mind was not right and 1 do hope that you will par dlon himt.' ")r. S. S. Daniel says: "That he e lieves tlht if hates is given his free dom lie will fully recover his facul ties.' "In addition to the leters above ment ined, st rong pet it tins were presented, asking for his pardon, headed by Mayor .tohn P. Floyd and Solicitor .\. B.
