Bush Pardons Coal Mine Bomber, 13 Others Wed Sep 28, 9:49 PM ET
WASHINGTON - President Bush granted pardons Wednesday to 14
people, including a member of the mineworkers union who was convicted
for his role in bombings at a West Virginia coal mine, a counterfeiter
and a bootlegger.
Jesse Ray Harvey of Scarbro, W.Va., was given a 25-month sentence in
1990 after his conviction for using explosives to damage Milburn
Colliery. The mine had been the target of a long strike by about 45
members of a United Mine Workers local.
Bush has issued 60 pardons and sentence commutations during 56 months
in office.
