ernor Fleming has committed the sen
tence OF Strict Tross, a negro IS years oI
age, who was sentenced to hang on next
Friday orths rape OF a white woman Ia
Hardy county. The sentence was com.
muted on the Recommendation OF Judge
Armstrong, before whom tho case was
tried, vino states that tho woman was
shown 10 be n common prostitute to both

The Judge says the verdict was far
too severe and were 1t in his power, he
would have granted a new trial. The
petition for pardon was also signed by
all Of the jury, by many members OF
the bar, who heard the evidence, and by
many OF the business men OF the coun.
ty, among them most OF the county
officers. There Is considerable feeling
in the county against the negro, and It
Is possible he may yet be hanged by a
mob.

that he wrote the impudent letter with
