      Pardons for two Alameda County residents who have served terms in San Quentin Prison have been issued by Gov. Earl Warren, the Associated Press reported from Sacramento today. The pardons were issued to William B. Turner, 52, who in 1947 was a patient at the county hospital at Arroyo del Valle, and Frank Nordhoff, 47, who in the same year made his home at 916 Blossom Way, Hayward. Turner, who pleaded guilty to passing bad checks while on parole in Sacramento from a previous conviction for the same offense in 1938, was ordered to serve the unexpired portion of the term. He was released from San Quentin in 1941. Nordhoff was convicted in Los Angeles County in 1922 for robbery and was imprisoned at San Quentin until 1934.
