Raleigh, July 3—Parole has been extended to J.W. Jestes, convicted in October, 1925, from Avery County on a statutory charge, by Governor A.W. McLean. In commenting on is case, the governor said that while his conviction on the evidence at the time was fitting and proper, conditions have since come to light that warrant his parole, especially since it was recommended by the trial solicitor. It is stipulated that he must maintain good behavior and maintain gainful employment.
