In truth, should have been ready to
meet that demand before passed

of Amos Bivins at the fall term of the

"Without any attempt to criticlse the

was appealed to the Supreme court.
sma n inc decision Of the lower court was
"'nrmed. An application was made to
.ne governor for clemency, and a petit
'ion bearing the names Of many promi-
nent ch'sens Of Monorc county was
sent 'e the chief executive. Col. Palmer
was leaving no stone unturncd 10 save
MS client. The strain and hard work
was telling on him. He had grown
emaciated. and more than once had
Deen III from nervous prostratIon.
Inc governor refused to Interfere,
out intimated that he might give the
case a more favorable consideration II
'he presiding Judge recommended a
Communication of the sentence. This was
regarded as q forlorn hope, the deter
mination of Judge Garrow TO suppress
crime being so we'll known.
Inc day Of tho execution was near at
hand and Monroe county was preparing
10 witness Its first hanging In many
years. Then. like thunder clap came
the news that the governor had par
doned Andrew Hastings. Not even a
Communication Of the sentence to life
imprisonment had been looked for. but
mere was an absolute pardon, and the
murderer with shadow OF the eallows
already over him was free man.
~ was some time before the people
could be made to believe that the news
was true, and many did not believe II
until Hastings was allowed to walk
from the prison unshackled.
The only reason the governor as
signed was that Judge Garrow had re-
quested II in private letter. and the
appeal wds such as not to be disre-
garded. :.
But why f,d Judge Garrow make
such request? His honesty was above
suspicion, his integrity was undoubted,
and his hrmness' could not be ques-
toned. Yet, after declaring It his pur-
pose to check the lawlessness then ex-
listing by the strong arm Of the law,
he deliberately used the power OF mis-
Office to free man convicted OF n
most foul murder. What could II
mean? The judge would explain. But
the Judge did not explain and his ST.
lence through all these years has kept
the Hastings case one Of the strangest
Of the unexplained murder mysteries
Of Alabama. When questioned at the
time the Judge said: Il had just. and
sufficient reasons for acting as I did,"
Time and time has this case ana its
strange denouement come before my
mind, and often have tried to reach
solution which would be satisfactory
to myself and leave no suspicion upon
the memory OF member OF the ju-
dietary, whose character had always
been above reprosch.
It is all clear now. Judge Garrow
has passed to stand himself before O
judge whose justice. 1t is to be hoped,
will be tempered with exceeding great
mercy for US all. have before me this
statement. published in a Monroe
county paper, and give II here as the
sequel TO what have already re-

and children had to fee In the night,
and she. the mother, met her death
