PEACOCK MAY NOT HAVE
TO LEAVE THE STATE
From Terms of Governors Par
don Granted Yesterday
This is Inferred.
That Al Peacock may not have to
leave the state under the erms of the
pardon granted hiju yesterday by
Governor West, became known this
afternoon.
The part of the pardon from which
this is inferred is us follows: ' here-
as, Albert Peacock offers to leave the
state and remain away until he ha
proven himself a law abiding and use
ful citizen and forever abstain from
the use of intoxicating liquors and
keep the above promise to lea'e the
state until such time as the governor
can be shown he has became a useful
ind law abiding citizen."
The general inference is that Pea
cock will not have to leave the state

wise he is asked to do so by the citi-

bottom of Havana harbor, there was
it desire on the part of many Spanish

idea of nuking badges out of the
bronze work of the wrecked ship w;i
