REPORT OF PARDONS.
[No. 1a.
  • L. S. Bennett, eighteen days.
  • Wallace Mayhew, forty-two days.
  • Edward Scott, forty-two days.

For the same reasons as set forth above, I pardoned six more prisoners, whose names are given below. They had been originally committed to the penitentiary at Ft. Madison, and thence transferred to that at Anamosa. In these cases, however, I allowed full diminution, the same as if the prisoners had remained at Ft. Madison:—

James O’Donnell. July 9. Committed to the penitentiary of the state, from Scott county, February 24, 1876, for the crime of larceny, for the term of one and a half years, and thence transferred to the additional penitentiary, July 25, 1876. Pardoned forty-six days before the expiration of term.

John Nelson. July 9. Committed to the penitentiary of the state, from Des Moines county, January 28, 1873, for five years, for the crime of breaking and entering, and was thence transferred to the additional penitentiary, May 13, 1873. Pardoned five months and twenty days before the expiration of term.

George Campbell. July 30. Committed from Louisa county, October 29, 1875, for the crime of larceny, for the term of two years, and transferred to the additional penitentiary, July 25, 1876. Pardoned ninety days before the expiration of term.

John Bates. August 9. Committed from Dallas county, November 2, 1875, for the term of two years, for the crime of larceny, and transferred to the additional penitentiary. Pardoned eighty-four days before the expiration of term.
