Executive parole orders, 1898-1918.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122498674

"In all cases, except treason and impeachment, the governor has power, after conviction, and not otherwise, to grant reprieves, commutations, paroles and pardons and to remit fines and forfeitures..." (Ala. Code, Chapter 202, Section 5127 [1923]). This series consists of typed transcripts of parole orders dated 1898-1900, and orders issuing parole without the recommendation of the Board of Pardons. These orders are recorded on the Executive Department's stationary and give the criminal's name, county, sentence, and statement approving the action. The records from 1911-1913 are not duplicated elsewhere and are paroles resulting from a terminal illness. These records were created during the administrations of Governors Joseph Forney Johnston (1896-1900), Emmett O'Neal (1911-1915), and Charles Henderson (1915-1919).
