McDUFFlE PARDONED.
Got. Northern Signed the Order Lust Mon
day Morning.
Through the tin tiring energy and
faithful devotion of his wife D.
F. McDuffie, who was convicted
of murder at the March term, 1891,
of Clinch superrior court and senten
ced to four years in the penitentiary,
again breaths the pure air of freedom.
After the unfortunate killing of
Kirkland, at Argyle,plinoh county,
.McDuffie and his wife came to live
in Berrien county—at Adel and
Sparks. During the interim between
that time, tlie trial and tlie subse
quent carrying of bis ease to tlie Su
preme court lie filled a position of
tnist with Messrs. Beckwith & Rog
ers, the 1 urpciitine operators at Sparks.
As soon as he learned that (lie su
preme court had confirmed the judg
ment of the Superior court, of Clinch
county, he proceeded without delay
to the penitentiary to serve out his
sentence. The Atlanta Constitution
reports his conduct as follows:
“It, was nearly a year and n half ago
that the ellli'inls of tlio state penitentiary
were surprised lo receive a visit from a
sadfaced, linnoB'. counlcnancod man who
staled that he had business to transart
with (he head mail, lie was told lo wail
and wait he did. Finally, when Ids turn
came, lie was asked what lie wanted.
Much to tlie sunprise id' his interrogator,
lie replied that he had just given himself
up under u sentence which had just been
confirmed by the supremo court, lie ask-
ed that he he given a suit of stripes and
he pul to work lit once.
put
The olllclnls had no authority
,\fcOutlie to work—fur it was he—so they
asked him to slay whileu telegram would
he sen! to the principal keeper of tlie pen
itentiary. The telegram was seal and
Hie answer came (hat McDuffie was wan
ted to serve the sonteneo imposed upon
him by the judge of the superior court in
nil county and confirmed by the su
Cline
praue court.
“As quietly as lie appeared at the pen
itentiary, McDuffie went to work. Ills
good behavior was remarkable, and there
was nnlhing amiss in anything he did.
He was rather reticent, however to those
in prison with him, though lie did not ap
pear in the least arbitrary towards them.''
His noble wife never wavered in her
efforts lo secure a pardon for him,
beginning her work almost from the
very moment he donned the slripes to
serve out. his sentence, and her many
friends rejoice with her now 1 lint
lu-r labor bus been crowned with suc
cess.
