THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
Attorney General Ignores Recom
mendation of Board Which
Made Special Inquiry.
Despite the fact that the Federal
Pardon Board strongly recommended
after a thorough investigation, that
pardons be granted to ‘Julian Haw
thorne and Dr. William J. Morton,
who are imprisoned in the Atlanta
Federal Penitentiary on charges if
using the malls to defraud in the sale
of mining stocks. Attorney General
McReynolds has issued a statement
from Washington that he has decided
to override the recommendations of
the board and refuse clemency to the
two men.
The action of McReynolds is almost
unprecedented in the history of the
Department of Justice. The Board of
Pardons made the Hawthorne case a
subject of thorough and exhaustive
investigation. It came to Atlanta and
went Into every detail of the case. At
the end of the investigation it rnad«
the Hawthorne case the subject of a
special report and a special recom
mendation for clemency. It had been
intimated that the writer had been
the scapegoat for others.
Mr. McReynolds’ excuse for refusing
to grant a pardon to Hawthorne is
that he and Dr. Morton have been
shown enough leniency.
It is generally understood that one
result of Mr. McReynolds’ actions in
the Hawthorne case will be the re
doubling of the efforts of the writer’s
friends and the case may be taken to
President Wilson.
Under the ruling of the Attorney
General, Haw thorne and Morton must
remain in prison until October. The
trial Judge, in sentencing them, dated
their terms back a year and a day.
and their time will be up in about
two months.
Deputy Warden Hawk, of the Fed
eral Prison, stated Wednesday morn
ing that the prison authorities have
as yet received no formal notifica
tion that a pardon had been refused
Hawthorne. He stated, however, that
it is not usual for them to do so. They
are notified when a pardon has been
granted, but never when one has been
refused.

JUSTICE AND MERCY IN GEORGIA
. Justice and mercy for the friendless!
The Senate, without a dissenting vote, has passed the bill providing
for Probation.
With only three men voting against it, the Senate has also passed
the bill providing for the Indeterminate Sentence.
These two bills are now before the House, having been favorably re
ported by the Judiciary Committee.
And yesterday, Tuesday, CHAIRMAN WHEATLEY saved the
Girls’ Reformatory from oblivion; he called a special meeting of the Com
mittee on Appropriations to consider the Jones Mills Bill; THE RE
SULT, it is believed, will be the building of the Reformatory for Girls
in Georgia.
Representatives GRIFFIN, GREENE of Houston and BERRY,
members of the sub-committee that considered the original bill and re
ported it back carrying an appropriation of $30,000.00 to the committee
for action, spoke in favor of it.
Messrs. CONNOR and METHVIN advocated its adoption.
JOHN Y. SMITH of Fulton then moved that the Committee report
favorably the bill as amended.
In favoring this motion, CHAIRMAN WHEATLEY explained that
he had favored the bill from the beginning-
Both the Chairman and the members of the Committee recognize the
APPALLING AND IMMEDIATE NEED for the Reformatory for
Girls; they unanimously adopted the motion recommending that the bill,
carrying an appropriation of $30,000.00, be passed.
The Prison Commission has urged that the home be built, pointing
out that Georgia has no place in which to handle wayward and delinquent
girls. And the Penitentiary Committee has also without a dissenting
vote recommended the passage of the Jones-Mills Bill providing for the
Home.
Remember! This home is not to deal with the hardened woman of the
streets, but with children.
To day if a GIRL OF ELEVEN, TWELVE OR FOURTEEN gets in
trouble, there is no place in Georgia either to protect or help her.
This shame is unendurable. To-day seventy-five girls under sixteen
years old known to us are without a place.
What will YOU do?
No man has opposed—and it is believed that no man can or will op
pose—the bill either in the House or the Senate.
To day Georgia looks to the Rules Committee of the House.
SPEAKER BURWELL, who is ex-officio its Chairman, and BLACK
BURN of Fulton its Vice Chairman, and the men serving with them in
the Committee on Rules, namely Messrs. HARDEMAN, MILLER, NUN-
NALLY, PAULK of Berrien, REDWINE, RHODES, SHUPTRINE,
SLADE AND RAGLAND, are to decide whether or not the State will take
care of her delinquent and wayward girls—
Whether or not the State shall have Probation and the Indeterminate
Sentence—
Whether or not Georgia will take her stand with her Sister States in
giving Justice and Mercy to the unfortunate.
Those who know these men believe that they will NOT KILL, but
WILL HELP to pass these measures.
Those who know Georgia believe that the men of the House and of
the Senate will gladly give the brief time necessary to make these bills
the law of Georgia-
They harm no one. But they help the helpless.
They mean life to many a home in Georgia where worse than death-
dishonor and shame—will reign if these bills are not enacted into laws at
this session of the Legislature.
What will you do? _ < Xi ^
