Governor Issues
Pardons
“If I were to permit these prisoners to serve longer on the
chain gang, I could not sleep at night,” said Governor T.W. Bickett, granting a
full pardon to John and George Mahue of Montgomery county, convicted in July of
assault and sentenced to 12 months on the roads of Stanly county. The two were
c convicted upon the uncorroborated testimony of a bloodhound, which the
Supreme Court has held, is not sufficient to convict a man.
