Al the beginning of tie present year, at the

the place was na0e by diver. who suese-
| ouen,lv made the following sfidRv': "On

the remains OF buildings, and formed the
opinion that town here had been sub

csption OF loosa stone, whica must bave

1t appears conclusive that at the place

that a further examination, copr ected with

Gov. Ross yesterday committed the
death sentence of Jim Smith (colored)
hf Lamar county to imprisonment fol-
hife. He was to have been hanged
MAY 90. The recommendation for
Executive clemency in this case was
made by the bar of Paris. The law
Iyers stated they did so because some
Eaithe witnesses whose testimony was
Ehe most material in the trial of the
case and without whom a conviction
could not have been had were very
disreputable and unreliable, and
while they did not deny the sufficeincy
of the evidence as it appeared on
record, they would be sorry to see
Smith suffer death owing to witnesses
whom they doubted, among them
being colored strumpet of no.
torious reputation. The recommen
dation of the Paris lawyers was en-
tirely voluntary. 1t is further
stated that the lawyer who as.
sisted the district attorney to
prosecute, that the former testimony
of one of the States witnesses was
false and induced by an offer OF money
from the other witnesses against the
prisoner. The murder for which
SIN tn was convicted was most das-
tardly and atrocious assassination
that white man in his bed at night.
The governor also committed the
1f
convicted of murder in the second de.
gree in Madison county, in 1885. The
sentence as committed expires July
4, next. The Communication was asked
, by the district attorney, sheriff, and
other officers of Madison county. Also
Powledge had good prison record.
