Governor Richards revokes Ben Bess pardon in historic move
Columbia and Florence recount the unprecedented act as Governor John G. Richards signs a revocation of the pardon for Ben Bess, a Florence County Negro who served 13 years of a 40 year sentence for criminal assault. The move rests on new affidavits challenging the pardon’s basis and raises the question of gubernatorial power to revoke pardons, likely to be tested in court. The case centers on alleged fraud and the accuracy of statements used to grant suspension of sentence.
