11As Is the custom when the Gover
nor leaves the State a crowd of par
don seekers descended upon Frank
fort today Acting Gov Cox is pre
siding in the Governors chair and
for some reason the Lieutenant Gov
ernor Is supposed to be more tender
hearted than the Governor When W
iO Bradley was Governor and W J
Worthington was Lieutenant Gover
nor he was always beselged by ap
plicants for pardon wherever the
Governor left the State It is pretty
much the same < way now

BUNCH OF WELL BRED YOUNG

IJames R Keene has shipped from
his Castleton stud near Lexington
to New York twenty thoroughbred
yearlings which it is understood
here will be placed on shipboard next
Saturday to be seat to England where
bys
his son Foxhall Keene who spends
timost of his time In that country
This consignment of yearlings will
be an important addition to the Eng
introductiong
to Great Britain of the blood which has
in recent years produced Colin Celt
Ballot Peter Pan Electioneer and
others which have swept before them
all in this country and it will be in
teresting to note how the Castleton
bred horses which have been so suc
cessful in America will rank with
the best horses of England While It
is true that Mr Keeno several years
ago won the English Oaks with Cap
and Bella and the 50000 Princess oi
Wales Stakes with Disguise these
horses were sent over at the end of
their 2yearold form and this will
be the first time any considerable
number of Castletonbred horses have
been sent abroad as yearlings which
will give them an opportunity to be
come acclimated before they are
called upon to race Disguise who
won the Princess of Wales Stakes for

LES MISERABLES i
Lined Up Before Governor
iTo Tell Their Tales
PARDONS WILL BE C r DAVE
BEEN GIVEN MANY MAIMED
AND CRIPPLED
CRIPPLEDI
ItAs a result of the visit to the peni
tentiary by acting Gov j cer
4taln that many rdol1 pets
slessly 111 and crippled H BrtIH
be granted and there Bcen
eral cleaning up of the son of men
who are Incapacitated or who have
been In the prison many years with
a good clean record Gov Cox went
through the prison and was in the
hospital where the cripples are lo
cated It was the first time in many
years that a Governor of the State
has been through the grim prison
and the first time In the memory of
the oldest guard that the Governor
ever went among the men and talked
to them about their cases and the
reasons why they wanted pardons
The Governor stayed In the prison
for three hours He found about
thlrtyfive men onelegged onearmed
other diseases and It Is almost cer
taro that as the result of the trip
through the penitentiary many of
these men will be allowed to go free to
their homes It will be one of the most
remarkable things in the history of
Kentucky and something that few
Governors would dare do but the
prison officials say that it should be
done as the men area useless ex
pense on the State
Harry Miles a negro sent from
Louisville got his freedom as Gov
Cox told him that if he lived until
tomorrow he would certainly pardon
him Miles has been in the peniten
tiary for twentyfive years having
been sent up under the habitual trim
fory
steallUtT His record in the prison is
xcellent with not a mark against
limWhen
When the Governor went to the
prison he asked that all the cripples
and incapables be brought before him
There were some thirtyof them and
the men were lined up In the yard
The Governor stood In front of them
and as Warden Mudd called each
mans name that man stepped for
ward and whispered to the Governor
his story of why he wanted apardon
and why he thought he ought to go
free Each man had his say and
while this was going on the other
convicts were watching and trying
to get in their say with the Gover
nor all being eager to tell their tales
to the man who could release them
The Governor heard only the cripples
and incapables some of whom were
blind but he did let Mays have his
say
In the hospital the Governor found
one man who had sat in the same
chair every day for two years and
never had been able to move from
the room Several men who are dy
ing of consumption were also found
After the Governor had been
through the prison the prison band
was brought out and the crack negro
cakewalkers among the convicts did
stunts for the benefit of the Gover
nor and the visitors
