A Lottery Dealer Pardoned.

Louis Lindauer, who had pleaded guilty to violating the Internal Revenue laws by non-payment of special tax as a lottery dealer, and been sentenced to five months' imprisonment, has been pardoned by the President, after serving out half his term, on the application of District Attorney Pierrepont and others, who represented that there were mitigating circumstances in the case, and Lindauer had been merely guilty of a technical violation of law.
