PARDONED HIS ASSAILANT Remarkable Governor Bob Stewart tale
A fragment from a historical column recounts Governor Bob Stewart of Missouri once pardoning an elderly convict after a personal recollection aboard a penitentiary visit. The anecdote leads into a curious memory of political circles and a later public anecdote involving a senator on Pennsylvania Avenue. The passage shifts to statistics on European capitals and royalty, then a humor quip from American Hebrew, followed by an advertisement for Ely's Cream Balm and Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin before noting excursion rates to Washington for the inauguration.
