James Sechrist Pardoned After Serving 8 Months on Roads, Feb. 28, 1926

Gains Freedom After Serving Eight Months

Raleigh, Feb. 27—James Sechrist of Davidson County was paroled by Governor McLean today after having served half of an eight-months road sentence for violating the prohibition laws. A record of good citizenship save for the one offense and strong recommendations by Sheriff Talbert and other responsible citizens of Davidson County aided Sechrist in his successful plea for clemency. He was sentenced by Davidson Superior Court last November.
