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..

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. • * * Quarterly Hire of Convicts.
