No Pardon for Mamie Decris.
Governor Terrell has declined lo
pardon Mamie Decris, the white wo
man who was so cruelly beaten by for
mer Warden F. M. Allagood at the
state prison farm several months ago.
The prison commission, before whom
the application for pardon was heard,
declined to make a favorable recom
mendation. The commission in pass
ing upon the case made no remarks,
further than to decline the applica
tion.
Mamie Docris will therefore remain
in the penitentiary until November,
1904, when she will have served her
term. There were several applica
tions for the pardon of the woman on
file with the commission, but all of
them were actel upon at one time.
While no reasons are given by the
board for declining the pardon, it is
understood that the commission feels
that there is no reason why the wo
man should be pardoned.
The man who whipped her resigned
as warden of the state farm several
weeks ago and a new man is now in
his place.. Mamie Decris- was sentenc
ed to two years in the penitentiary
for obtaining goods under false pre
tenses.
The whipping of the woman caused
a profounud sensation throughout the
country when the facts were made
known.
Little Girl’s Letter Bears Fruit.
A letter written to Governor Ter
rell several days ago by a little girl in
which she asked the governor to
“please let my papa come home, I
misses him so much,” seems to have
had its good effect, for the prison
commission recommended a pardon
for L. A. Hester, the man in question,
a day or two ago, and he walked out
of the Chattahoochee company’s camp
a free man.
He was sentenced to the peniten
tiary for life, being involved with the
Cochrans in the murder of an old ne
gro in Campbell county several years
ago, and since then Hester has been
in the penitentiary.
There was an application on file for
the pardon of the man, and the path
etic letter of his little daughter, in
which she begged eo hard for the re
lease of her father, had a great weight
with the prison commission, and
when the case was taken up it was de
cided to grant a favorable recommend
ation.

The controversy between Judge Wal

man, at Atlanta, Ga., over the office of

sational ending in the svperior court
Wednesday morning, when Judge
Lumpkin refused to confirm the grand
jury'9 nomination of Bateman
The matter attracted more than
passing notice, from tho fact that Bate
man was the principal figure in the
