Pardons Ex-Salon Leader Boykin After Johnson Grace
MOBILE Ala AP Former Rep Frank Boykin joyfully announced he received a presidential pardon clearing his 1963 conviction for conspiracy to defraud the United States in a conflict of interest case. He had been fined 40000 and given six months probation, with the pardon restoring civil rights and removing the record of the charge. Boykin, 80, active in lumber and land in Mobile after a 28 year House career, cited his heart condition and high blood pressure as factors weighing his lack of prison sentence. The pardon was signed by Johnson last Friday and took effect Monday, prompting calls from Alabama lawmakers about the act.
