Luke Landry, the young colored man
sentenced to be hanged at Rayville on
the 18th, has had his sentence COM
muted by the Governor, upon the petit
ton of citizens of Richland, to i'm
prisonement for life. What the miti-
eating circumstances We're, we are not
advised but infer, having seen the
murderer arraigncd, when he grinned
and leered as would an idiot, that the
clemcncy extended was on account Of
his mental imbecility. When being
conducted back to jail, after receiving
sentence, he remarked to the sheriff,
referring to Judge Richardson, "Well,
the old man was pretty hard on mo,
wasn't he ?''
