Robber Granted Indefinite Furlough Amid Controversy
The case of Barnette Day, a 21 year old boxcar robber from Miller County, was eased by an indefinite furlough issued by Governor Parnell amid endorsements from the trial judge and local residents. Harry South of Craighead County also received furlough while serving a four year term for grand larceny, following recommendations due to time served. The Texarkana Gazette editorial criticizes Day’s release, noting the banked costs and questions fairness of shorter sentences.
