Raleigh, May 22—Charles F. Barnes of Davidson County, serving a prison term for manslaughter, has been paroled by Gov. A.W. McLean on the recommendation of the trial judge, the jurors, sheriff and other county officers. He had been charged with negligently operating an automobile in which he and his half-brother were passengers and in the wrecking of which his half-brother was killed.
The only element dissolved in the evidence was the negligence, the Governor finds, and no evidence whatever of willful slaying. Hence “in view of the fact that his good character and mental suffering that he has undergone,” the parole is granted.
