On Saturday Governor Hadley paroled Albert Yarbrough, son of T G Yarbrough, who was jailed in 1907 for five years after felonious assault involving shooting and wounding Toby Brazil. Brazil had previously fined $100 after a gunplay incident with Yarbrough. Theo Yarbrough later ambushed Brazil, wounding him severely. The parole action prompted views that justice was uneven between the two cases.
