life till his appeal for new trlai mas been
nasssd upon by the state supreme court.

Lewis to be in readiness for the end at 10
o'clock this morning, but tins morning at
the request of Judge Bartlett, the time

Sheriff WestcOtt, hl1 deputies, the priest
and the physicians were all III readiness
to proceed to the Jail, there was stay OF
proceedings. o
7 r Cooper. the attorney for Lewis pre-
sented to Judge Bartlett his bill of ex-
ceptions, upon which the supreme court
will be asked to pass. The bill was read
and received the judicial signature and
the sheriff dismissed the parties who were
to attend the execution of the sentence OF
the law.
Lewis had made oil the preparations for
a hurried departure from this life and did
not hear the news of the stay till about
noon, the hour set for his death. He was
grateful indeed for the interest his attorney
had taken in his case and says he still
hopes to escape the gallows. He says he
was ready to go, although he has never
vet said that be wa certain of going to
heaven, as is the case with most negro
murderers.
Louis Lewis vas born in Dooly county
on July 4, 1864, and moved to Macon
when seven years old. lie was first married
when nineteen years old, but his wife soon
died. He married again on November 4,
1889. and killed his wife out at the Dillon
farm, twomiles from Macon, by shooting
her in the head on September Is, 1890.
His first trial resulted in Il mistrial, but
he WAS again tried and found guilty. The
case was appealed to the supreme court
and a new trial granted on the ground that
the name of the woman killed was wrong
in the Indictment, appearing Melinda when
it should have been Melissa. The new trial
came up at the last session of the superior
court and he was again found guilty and
sentenced TO be hanged on January 18th.

ltical organization known as Gideon's

cd that in July, 1891, Wilson used and
