MODEL PRISONER WINS
PARDON OF KING BORIS
(By Associated Press)
SOFIA, Jail. 20.—On the ground
that he has become a good workman
since he was arrested for murder and
sentenced to death, King Boris has
refused to confirm a prisoner’s death
sentence. . This attitude he has main
tained despite the insistence of the
judicial and police authorities that
the interests of the state would be
best served by the carrying out ol
the death penalty.
In explaining his decision the king
said:
“How can I consent to the taking
of the life of this prisoner, when he
has shown enough moral power tc
become an exemplary workman since
his imprisonment?”
