Maynoi for Carrying GRANTED AND REFUSED Many Petitions lot Executive, Clemency Passed on by the) Governor Yester day EveniDg tnd Todyv There is an Interesting -story cow Tiected with one Of toe pardons-issued today by Governor Jones. The facts' are related in the following petition for pardon, signed by a large number of citizens, Including ex-State Treas urer R. B. Morrow, of Alt lis: "Before Esq.

P. R. Stanfield, "a jus tice in Hogan township in Franklin county, on the 28th day of De cember, 1899, C. -F, Maynor was, con vlcted of carrying a pistol as a weapon and fined S50. Mayor was at Denning shadowing a man named Smith who is charged with a crime in west Virginia.

and he had just received a description of Smith from A. P. Farley, a prose cuting attorney of a district in West Virginia. Maynor had lived In Raleigh yL and was therefore written to by the prosecuting attorney, and Smith was at the Denning mines, and Maynor Kept on good terms with him until he couia procure the necessary warrant for his arrest; but, knowing the char acter of Smith, Maynor put a pistol in his pocket, fearing that at an unexpected moment Smith would do him vi olence. Smith is in jail at Ozark and Maynor is expecting necessary papers to extradite Smith eo as to take him on to West Virginia to stand trial Smith Is charged in West Virginia with murder and We therefore ask that ynn pardon Maynnr nf the crime or carrying a pistol." j.

John Smith is under indictment in Raleigh county, West Virginia, lor the murder of Mary Jane Cadle, anflwas considered a desperate man. Hon. J. V. Bourland, of Ozark, makes the following statement relative to the case: I was not interested in the trial and when this party came to me I de clined to move in his behalf until I be came entirely satisfied of the representations he made and of the sentiments of the people about Denning and Altus who are familiar with the character of the parties.

At my suggestion Mav- nor turns over to me some correspon-. aence irom west Virginia which comment, is aumentic, ana it. shows conclusively, or nearly so, that his object in having the pistol If not technic, ally legal, was commendable. As yon will see from thfr Virginia papers, Ssaith (a man now in 'jail here upon the charge of robbery at Denning) is want ed in West Virginia for the murder of a woman. Now Maynor, a former West Virginian, came on here, engaged in mining, and for obvious reasons cultivated the friendship of Smith, whom he believed to be (he West Virginia Smith.

Meanwhile Maynor was corre sponding with the West Virginia au- inornies preparatory tosecuring-rla requisition. And so confidential had Smith become with Maynor that he maae a statement of the West Virginia trouble Just awhile before Christmas, later stating that he was going to leave the mines about Christmas: May nor, thus assured, and, from the chais acter of Smith fearing that be mieht from suspicion or from other motive ao-nim-vtolence-, or-escane-before ha could legally arrest him, put on the pistol now named in the charge against mm. Maynor made no defense, but stated these facts to the justice, but tne latter deemed that he had no aib thority to exercise the pardoning pow er. "I am that the foregoing Is true. "Maynor sustains a good reputation and Is working on his case against Smith, and I feel assured that requisition will be asked of you in a short time and Maynor named as messenger.

"The premises considered. It would seem a hardship to punish Maynor, and, twt uauHueu mat mis is tne opinion held by the people about Denning and Altus. therefore, concur in asking his pardon." The trial Justice makes the following voluntary statement: "As-Mr. Maynor's statement seems to be correct I would recommend that you grant him a pardon. I could give mm no nelier when he was before me.

from the fact that I had to comply with the law, and told him at the time that if his man proved to be the' man I would write you a letter in bis be, half, and as I have the fetter from the prosecuting attorney which satisfies me that he was working up the case," Governor Jones today pardoned Ja son Scarbor, colored, convicted in Pu-, laskl circuit court, December 15, of resisting an Officer and fined $5 and one minute In jail.
