I 'f Fugitive From Georgia Chain Gang Freed (Picture on-page 1) ATLANTA, Nov. 1. The long-time, celebrated fugitive from a Georgia chaingang, Robert El liott Burns, surrendered today; and two hours later, in tears, he heard himself pronounced a 'free man. The three-member board of par- .dons and paroles wiped away the unserved part of a 8 to 10 year sentence for a $5 stick-up that has hung over the now successful bus' iness man for 23 years. It also restored civil and po litical rights' to the twice-fugitive who aroused a storm of protest in Georgia over his book and movie, "I Am a Fugitive from a Georgia Chaingang." , Tears streamed down the ruddy. bespectacled face r of the slight, greying prisoner when the. order was read. a t' "You will not be sorry, he told Chairman Edward B. fEverett and other members of the board. An hour before he had heard young Governor Ellis Arnall, whose' administration wiped out the chain gang system which Burns wrote about so bitterly, plead his case. . I have never appeared before this board with such a request," the governor sai "And I shall probably never do so again. But I am convinced this man Is com pletely rehabilitated." ; Alaskans for East Air Route Minus Seattle l WASHINGTON.
