Two Pardons

Governor Luce issued orders the other morning for the pardon of Charles Boyle and Louis Dubry, two prisoners incarcerated at Jackson on the charges of murder and adultery respectively. Charles Boyle lived in Deerfield. A drygoods mercliant accused his wrfe of stealing his goodn and Boyle threatened to kill him, and when under the influence of liquor did so by emptying the contents of a shotgun into htm. He was arrested and convicted of murder in the second degree November 29, 1877, and sentenced to the Jackson State prison for twenty years. While at Jackson he was a model prisoner, and partially because of his extraordinary good behavior there, and partially because of his valuable aid to the prison authorities, Governor Luce pardoned him. He had only about three more years to serve, his term having been shortened by good behavior. Louis Dubry was convicted of adultery in Monroe County, May 26, 1887, and sentenced to three years at Jackson. There vere many initigating circumstances in his case, and they were such that his conviction was of doubtful propriety. He was pardoned by the Governor on oondition that he refrain hereafter from drinking liquor and frequenting the places where it is sold.
