Convict Made Wealthy By Oil Refuses Pardon
Austin January 31 A young man sought a pardon for his uncle William Edwards of Huntsville State penitentiary who has served eleven of his 36 year sentence for murder. Edwards, a former Callahan County farmer who later prospered with oil, has reportedly refused clemency on religious grounds. The Board of Pardons indicated willingness to pardon if accepted, but Edwards reportedly declined offers of freedom from Governors Ferguson and Colquitt. The matter centers on Edwards leasing potential oil lands atop his Callahan County farm, which he refused in order to protect his grass and land holdings.
