Richmond June 21 Kenneth Thomas a former British army officer now in state penitentiary for bigamy was denied clemency by Gov E Lee Trinkle. The governor ruled the petition failed to prove the facts after conviction in Norfolk in 1916 for marrying while already married in New York. The filing claimed recent return from British service and influence.
