STATE PARDONS BOARD RECOMMENDS PAROLES.

Indianapolis, Dec. 18.—The state board of pardons, acting on the cases review at the December session, has submitted recommendations t ©Governor Goodrich for the parole of eighteen persons, one temporary parole and commutation of sentence in six caises. Clemency was refused in twenty-one cases and thirty-five cases were continued. The board refused to recommend clemency for David C. Stout, former clerk of Aleln county, who was found guilty of embezzlement on February 9. When Stout completed his term of office last year it was found that he was short about $20,000 of county funds.
