Colutnl'ia. March IT.- The hope
that John J, .Ion? s. the slayer of
\t ?- IVarlstine, of I'.ranchv die, cher?
ished that ho miKht ?et a pardon
vanished today, when QoV. Col*. L.
Iiiense refused to Interfere with the
verdict ?f the Court? which waa that
Jones shall serve ten years and one
month at the State penitentiary.
Pardon refused. March IT, If 11,
Cede L Biases, Governor,'1 are the
words written aeroai the back of
the petition in Qojrernor Blsasje'a own
i indwritin?. The announcement of
the refusal was made carl:, today at
thi Chief Kxecuttve's office.
In a statement this aiternoon, Gov.
I'lease indicated why he refused the
Jonei p tition. "The petition had no
business being preeented.'.1 said the
Governor. "It was premature.' ? No
Indication was given whether or not
a later petition WOUld meet with
fax or. Governor lthaaso is not in?
clined to pardon prisoner* without
sonn- reason, despite the criticism to
th< "tit; try he has received.
A patheti ? letter from Mas. IVarl?
stine. i petition that the pardon be
granted from S. McQowan Simkins,
i sding elerh of the Houae of Rep
reoontativoo; letters from lawyers
ami a refusal of Solicitor Hildebrand
torecommend, with the absence also
of favorable reeonunendatlon cm the
part of jnde Memmlnger constitute
part of the ;?(( i (Is in the pardon pe?
tition refused by the Governor.
Solicitor H lldebrand wrote that
the case was on appeal to the Su?
preme Court; that the defendant's
counsel themselves say that the pe?
tition for a pardon is premature,
therefore, he does not recommend
Bxecutlve clemency.
Mrs. IVarlstine asks if life is so
cheap in thi.-* State that one may
commit such a dastradly crime as
that with which Jones i? charged
and yet go free
s. btcGowaa simkins, reading
? -rk of the Mouge, from RdgchVId,
pre i Is ; lltlon loi pardon. He
*a i he doe-< so from a humanitarian
standpoint and not with any pecu?
niary bsneflt in view. it is strik?
ing that the main petition does not
come from the county in Which Abe
IVarlstine was killed.
Mayor Williams, of Hranehvillc,
writes that he wants Jones pardon?
ed as he felt that the man was kill?
ed in defence of his own life.
In the Jones petition there was a
letter from g nator Appelt, asking
the Governor to not grant the pe?
tition for pardon. Letten from the
attorneys asked that a hearing be
given if pardon were contemplated.
There are other letters, but UlSJ
are pot of much significance in view
of the fact that Governor BlSasS to?
day refused to extend Executive
clemency to Jones.
Joins was sentenced February 1
for the killing of Abe IVarlstine in
the Hranchville postofllce. The sen?
tence Is ten years and one month.
Governor I'dease has refused to
OOSSaldJSf a petition for the pardon of
YV. B. Avant, the man who, with Dr.
G I?. Highum. 01 September 15,
I'mis. killed l?r. lligham's yOUU| Wife
on MorreU'a Inlet, twenty-flv) miles
from Georgetown, and who, with Dr.
Bigham, after heln? sentenced to
Serve three rears and six months in
tic State prison, escaped. The two
men bft the country before the ap?
peal h oi been concluded In the su?
preme Court and have never been
under arrest, except for the short
time Avant was ;n the penitentiary
for aafekeeplng and was released on
halieaa corona proceedings Govern?
or Bleaae told the lady who came to
ask foi A\ant's rolOSSe that he
would riot consider the petition an?
I? ss the man were given up and
place d ander arrest.
The young wife of Hr. Bigham was
killed inst it dusk, and the men
claimed that they called lo lo r and
"the nti.ieet" would not answer, so
Av%nt 11 red snd Mrs Bigham fell
oxer and died in a few minute-;. The
