I never saw an ante bellum darker with a kindlier face, or ono who displayed better char acter. la lir 34 Yrt "One negro, Milliard Dixon, had been In the penitentiary 34 years without a word of censure. The Judge and all tho officers of the court had died, nnd he was paroled. "A white man, James Jolly, had nerved In the penitentiary 34 years and bis case was forgotten. His record wsb perfect. When I com muted his sentence, he camo by tho esecutlvo office to thank me and to say that he thought he was forgot ten. "It will bo observed under tho pa role law no man Is paroled unless provision Is made for. his employ ment and his comfortablo mainten ance. Therefore, no Injustice Is done a man by granting him this clem ency. "In some cases the convict docs not desire to bo released. This sounds strange, but when I was at tho state farm I saw Ilowj Taylor, a white man, who has been In tho pen itentiary for 23 j ears and has for years been In chargo of the railroad office for tho prison authorities. ,1 He fuses a Pardon "lie has a fine, open face and a most agreeable manner, and he stated 'to me that he would not accept a. pardon. Ho declared that ho had killed another man In self-defense and he wished a new trial and vindi cation, but would not accept clem eticy. I do not believe I ever saw a man with a better countenance and a more honest speech. "The difficulty Is to draw the line Jictwecn maudlin sentimentality and dictates of wise penology. For ex ample, ono white man out of jeal ousy killed his rival, tied him to a horse and led the horse Into a swamp and tied him there. It was a week )atrrbefore the dead man was dis covered, through tho presenco of burzards and the horso was nearly Starved.
