HE PARDONED HIMSELF.
J. Buchanan Cross, or Colonel J. Buchanan Cross, as he insisted upon
being called, was as aristocratic-looking and dignified as his name sounds.
That was probably the reason why, during the Civil War days, he was able
to leave a trail of forged checks, stocks and bonds across the country But
he got careless around New York, and was convicted and sentenced to
five years in Sing Sing.
“I’ll be out in two or three months,” he told the warden. “I have influ-
ential friends.” The warden smothered an inclination to yawn. How often
he had heard that story. But just three months later the pardon came,
signed by Governor Seymour. “I told you so, Warden,” the now-ex-pris-
oner gloated, as he shook hands goodbye.
About four or five months following, an indignant citizen wrote to the
Sing Sing warden wanting to know why a criminal sentenced to five years
should be free in only three months.
The warden explained that Cross had been pardoned by Governor
Seymour. So the irate citizen penned a scorching epistle to the governor.
Then, and only then, was it discovered that no such pardon had been is-
sued. An investigation disclosed that, after somehow obtaining the proper
forms, Cross had forged a pardon for himself!
He was returned to Sing Sing to serve out his term. A few months later
Governor Seymour received a letter from Edward M. Stanton, then secre-
tary of war, requesting the released of Cross because “his services are ur-
gently required in special secret service work.” But the governor remem-
bered the ‘pardon’ he hadn’t issued. He wrote Secretary Stanton. And the
secretary replied that he had never heard of any J. Buchanan Cross.
Once more an investigation was made. And once more it was disclosed
that this master trickster had managed to obtain a copy of the secretary’s
letterhead and had written the letter to the governor.
Many men freely forgive their own sins, but Cross is one of the few who
pardoned himself.
