Pardoned: John L. Casper Releasd From Prison
John L. Casper of Winston-Salem was pardoned during Christmas week after a year’s delay following a lengthy federal trial in Fort Smith Arkansas.

Casper had served in Jacksonville Florida as a witness in the Thomas C. Mc Coy case in Asheville. He is said to have been an ideal prisoner and the overlapping sentences totaled nine years despite a longer total term.
