125 PRISONERS LEFT IN PENITENTIARY
Columbia, January 3:?There are
exactly 125 prisoners left in the
State penitentiary as a result of the
use by Governor Blease of the pardoning
and paroling power. Eleven
of the batch turned loose yesterday
were in the penitentiary and these
were released this morning, leaving
125 prisoners in the penitentiary
yard. In addition there are 26
penitentiary prisoners on the State
farm, known as the DeSaussure
farm, 31 on the other State farm,
known as the Reed farm, and four
penitentiary convicts on chaingangs,
making a total of 186 penitentiary
prisoners left. There are 153 n?gro
boys in the reformatory in Lexington
county, and, of course, there
are prisoners on chaingangs in every
county. Since assuming office in
1911 Governor Blease has exercised
clemency in 1,615 cases.
IMMEDIATELY REARRESTED.
The two yeggmen, Noland and
Howard, who were paroled from a
ten-year sentence, having been sent
up from Spartanburg in 1907, were
immediately rearrested. Thomas

alias "Detroit Nebbs," was arrested
as he received his parole papers on
State warrant for a crime alleged to
have been committed at Fort Mill,
in York county. He was placed in
the Richland county jail to await
transportation to Yorkville.
The other yegg, Charles Howard,
alias "Texas Dutch," was taken
in charge by United States Deputy
Marshall William Cooper and carried
before United States Commissioner
R Beverley Sloan. He is
wanted for robbing a postoffice at
