Governor Stuart approved the Board of Pardons action granting James B. Gentry a pardon for the 1895 Philadelphia murder of Madge Yorke. Friends carried the pardon to the Eastern Penitentiary at midnight, Gentry dressing quickly, eager to begin life anew. He plans a summer with actor friends Nat Wills, George M. Cohan, and Hap Ward, and may return to the stage in the fall. The pardon cited lack of outside witnesses at trial, later evidence about his mental state, completed sentence, and health concerns.
