Sonier, John - Proposed Pardon for John Sonier.  It is rumored on pretty good
authority that John Sonier, an escaped convict who was sent to the state
penetentiary from St. Landry, is soon to surrender under a previously arranged
plan by which he is promised a pardon.  While we are especially and
particulary opposed to his pardon, we also greatly dislike the manner in which
it is to be egected.  it would appear that the workers of the scheme do not
care what means are employed provided their object is accomplished.  We do not
believe that Gov. Nichols would grant the pardon were he aware of the methods
employed.  Sonier is undoubtedly a dangerous character and was captured by Ex-
Sheriff Duson after a long and tediou hunt.  He was convicted of murder and
sentanced to imprisonment for life.  He made his escape something more than
one year ago and it is said has surrounded himself with unusual protection 
among his friends in the pine woods of Northern Calcasieu.  (17)
