Raleigh, Nov. 20—The daring career of Jerry Dalton, young mountain murderer, around which many people wove a certain romantic glamor when the case was before the state, must remain during the next three years what it became nearly two years ago, when his sentence of electrocution was commuted—the dull, monotonous life of an inmate of the state prison.
“The governor of North Carolina has no intention of interfering in this case. He feels that when a man who has been convicted and sentenced on a capital offense has had his sentence commuted, enough has been done for him.”
That is the opinion of H. Hoyle Sink, pardon commissioner, has given those who repeatedly in recent weeks have petitioned the governor to parole young Dalton.
