Raleigh, April 6 (AP)—At the direction of Governor McLean, the charges of bribery in connection with the granting of pardons and paroles alleged to have been made against H. Hoyle Sink, commissioner of pardons, by Prison Chaplain W.S. Shacklette were to be investigated this afternoon by Attorney General Dennis G. Brummitt.
The hearing, which was announced for 2:30 at the attorney general’s office, was to be public, it was announced. The charges against Mr. Sink, said to have been made in connection with the Green pardon, was not investigated by the prison board at its meeting a few days ago, that board taking the attitude that it had no authority to investigate an appointee of Governor McLean. The governor had already directed Mr. Brummitt to investigate the alleged charge as it applied to Mr. Sink.
