The Covington News

  Following the recommendation of the Prison Commission, Governor Hoke Smith,
Wednesday pardoned J. Tom Long, of Monroe, who was serving a life sentence
for murder.
  It will be remembered that Long in 1900 was tried in the Courts of Walton
County and sentenced to imprisonment for life. We learn that Long's health
was very bad and that he was physically unable to do any work, and it was
upon these grounds that the pardon was issued. He is well known here and
at Monroe.
