Lon Martin Pardoned.
Among the pardons recommended
by the state prison commission Sat
urday was that of Lon Martin, a
young white man sent up from the
city court of Tifton in 1304 for three
years.
Young Martin was associated with
a man named Smith in tho theft of
several articles of clothing from Tif
ton merchants, the two beingeaught
while trying to get off with a lot of
the stolen goods.
It was apparent to those best ac
quainted with the cose that Martin
was largely under the influence of
Smith, and much sympathy was felt
for him. Col. B. D. Smith interest
ed himself in an effort to obtain his
pardon, which will be granted on
the recommendation of the commis
sion.
