REASONS WHY FOR NUMEROUS PARDONS Governor Submits Annual Pardon Book to the Legislature Giving lien. sons for Leniency in Many Cases, Columbia, Jan. 22.-Why Gov. Cole L. Blaso granted 'pardons, paroles and commutations of sentence to hun dreds of convicts last -year Is set forth in a message transmitted to the legislature. It is printed in a book of 333 pages. Since assuming office, three years ago, Governor BUlease has extended clemency in 982 cases. The striking feature of the -report is the bold manner In which he ex presses his opinion of negroes. He speaks of them as "on the order of lower iiniemals." "The negro race," he asserts, "has absolutely no standard of morality. They are, in that respect, a class by themselves, as marital infidelity seems to be their most favorite pastime." The governor remarks, in reporting that he has paroled J. E. Murray, a negro bigamist: "If every negro in this state that is guilty of bigamy or marital infidelity is brought up and convicted, labor will be much scarcer than it is and many acres that ire now cultivated will be idle." Time and again in reporting the liberation of white men convicted of criminal assaults on negro women, Governor Blcase declares the charge is ri(liculous-that. such a cri-me can not be committed on a negro woman. -le expressed in very plain language the belief that a pure negro woman is an unbend of prodigy. "Did Exactly Right." In reporting that he had granted "with much pleasure" free and full pardons to three white men convicted of assault and battery on two negroes, Governor Blease states that the blacks had 'been engaging in dirty and slan derous talk "and a party of white gen tlemen took these two negroes to the woods and gave them what they de served--a genuine, Ifirst-class whip -ping." These "white gentlemen," the governor says, "did exactly right." In telling of paamrole granted t'o !Sam Gaskin, y negro convicted of manslaughter, Governor Blease says: "This negro, being engaged to a negro girl, called to see her, and in fooling with a -pistol, it went off and killed her. It seems to have been a very sad accident; however, after a second thought, possibly it was for the good of humanity; for had they married no doubt they would have brought forth more negroes to the future det -'iment of the state." Commenting on his action in com muting the sentence of Stake Morris, a negro murderer, from death to life imprison maent, the governor says: "This defendant wits convicted. of killing another negro. I am natually against electrocuting or hanging one negro for killing another; because, if a man had two fine mules running lopse in a lot and one went mad and kicked and killed the other, he cer tainly woutld not take his gun and shoot the other mule, but would take that tmule and work it; therefore, I be lieve that when one negro kills an other he shottld be paut in the peniten tiary and made to wot'k for the state. Notwithstanding the contemnptuous attitude which he assumes towards negroes as a class, Governor lhease, in the message expiresseA comp~assion for 'individual ne~roes wvho, he says, have been lii treated in the pen iton tiary and frequently gives as a reason for liberating black Cb11Vet that they a'r "white 'anhn's tiegroes." Snya~ Negro Was Tortured. In atelling of a parole granted to IEimeotn Ellis, a negr'o murtderer, Gov ernor Blease submits letters to the effect that the negr'o wias cruelly tor turtedl by the penitentiat'y authorities for' speaking to the govet'nor one day without the guard's perintallsion. 1li1is, it is said, was 5enlteneC(d to the stocks, given 4i5 lashes and~ totrturedl fotr mot'e than a half hour' with a stt'ong elect trle battery. "IHis screams and efles and piteous appleals for mnet'y,"~ the rep~ort says, "could be heard all over the 'penitentiary gr'oundA."' Numerctous dithmer eases of 'alleged cruelty to prisone-rs are cited by Gov erntor' llease i1n excutse of his exten sion of 'eliency. He says he pet' sonally investigated many of theta. Many' convicts were libet'ated lby (Gov enfaor lease as a resutlt of their wr'it lng .pitiful lettet's to htim, and the ap ieals of the wives and children of convicts also have had gt'eat influ ence with the exectutive. In his re port, Govet'nor' Blease pictur'es many scenes of sort'ow andl desolatiotn, cauts Od by the itncarceration of bread-win ners. fThe Enmmerson Parole. One reason given for the pat'oling of J1. AlholentImrson, a mut'derer, is that the convict's sister's htealth has beena broken by the gt'ief caused lay lisk imiprisonment. "l~er life." says (Gover'nor Blease, "is worth more to her and her chil dren andl is wot'th mor'e to the cit i'7enis''iu and the motherhoodl of thtis country than .the innareration of hem' brother is worth to the state." Not infrequently the governor, In his roport, speaks-scornfully or angri ly of the prosecutors of the convicts whom he has released. 'In telling why he pardoned Frank Stone, who was convicted of obtain ing goods under false pretenses, Gov ernor -Blease says: "It seems that this party and the prosecu.tor traded hors es, and this is what brought about the indictment. F!ron the evidence pre sented in the case, it shows that the horse was supposed to have been blind in one eye and partially blind in the other. This was a defect which could very esaily have been detected by both parties. There is no excuse for a man saying that a blind horse was put off upon him, unilca he was either blind or drunk at the time, and there is no evidence to show that the prose cutor was either. Therefore, he should have been too much of a man to con plail for the only purpose people have for trading horses is to improve. If A trades with 13., A expects to get the best of the bargain, or A would not trade. When B. trades with A, be be lieves he got the best of the bargain or he would not have traded. Therefore when either one of them gets stung, there should be no complaint." Denounces Detectives. In granting clemency to Bud Wil lis, a white man convicted on the evi dence of private detectives of violat ing the liquor laws, Governor 3lease fiercely denotinces private detectives. le says: "I have no sympathy for such a breed of cattle, calling themselves human beings; they a'e a disgrace to the name detective and I take great pleasure in setting aside the convjc tion and giving this young man a free and unlimited pardon." -In explaining why lie paroled Er nest T. Birewington, a white man con victed of non-stuport of his wife, (ov ernor ilease says: "it seems that this boy was forcibly made to marry this girl, who most probably was iot of as good moral chartcter as she shou(ldl have been, 111d that as soon as the cerc::ony was over and lie could get hiimself free and loose, lie deserted her' and declined to have anything to do with her. I think he was a fool for marrying her, if the facts as stated are true, because, uinder the law of South Carolina, where he could not get a divorce, I would rather risk be ing shot or risk mlly chances of leaving the state and going somewhere else, than risk getting loose after getting married." "The Way of Faith." In reporting a parole granted to John M. Quinn, who was convicted of bre::iking into and robbing the otice of a religious magazine called "The Way of Faith," Governor lilease says: "As he was following the way of faith, or at least attempting to entor into the way of faith, I have thought fit to give him the opportunity to go forth and make a man of himself and, therefore, grianteId him a parole."-Spartanburg Herald.
