Raleigh, April 10—Implicit confidence in H. Hoyle Sink, commissioner of pardons, and condemnation of the author of the insinuations and innuendos against his character and integrity are expressed by Governor A. W. McLean in a letter addressed to Attorney General D.G. Brummitt, just made public.
“Notwithstanding the gratuitous and unjust efforts which have been made to discredit him, Isay unreservedly that I believe Mr. Sink’s character above reproach and my confidence in him is unshaken,” the governor concludes, after reviewing the entire matter.
This letter, coupled with the recent dismissal from the State service of Rev. W.S. Shacklette, prison chaplain, from whom the accusations directed at George Ross Pou, prison superintendent, J.H. Norman, warden, and Mr. Sink, provides proof conclusive that the men now stand completely exonerated in the eyes of their superiors.
The same feeling is practically unanimous in Raleigh and, as far as can be ascertained, is general over the state.
