vert the damaging evidence against his
client. His address was mainly a pas
sionate appeal for mercy for an limo
cent man who was the victim Of pc
culiar circumstances. He ended his
speech by holding the Bible high above
his head and saying;
"As true as the Holy Book ] hold in
my hand, SO true Is this man innocent.

The verdict was guilty and Hastings
was sentenced to be hanged. The case
was appealed to the Supreme court,
and the decision Of the lower court was
affirmed. An application was made to
the governor for clemency, and petit
ton bearing the names Of many proml-
nent citizens of Monore county was
sent to the chief executive. Col. Palmer
was leav'Sg no stone unturned TO save
his client. The strain and hard work
was telling on him. He had grown
emaciated, and more than once had
been Ill from nervous prostration.
The governor refused to interfere,
but intimated that he might give the
case a more favorable consideration II
the presiding judge recommended @
communication of the sentence. This was
regarded as a forlorn hope, the deter
mination of Judge Garrow to suppress
crime being so well known.
The day Of the execution was near at
hand and Monroe county was preparing
to witness its first hanging in many
years. Then. like thunder clap came
the news that the governor had par
doned Andrew Hastings. Not even q
communication Of the sentence to life
imprisonment had been looked for, but
here was an absolute pardon, and the
murderer with a shadow Of the gallows
already over him was free man.
It was some time before the people
could be made to believe that the news
was true, and many did not believe 1t
until Hastings was allowed to walk
from the prison unshackled.
The only reason the governor as
signed was that Judge Garrow had re-
quested it in a private letter, and the
appeal was such as not to be disre-
garded.
But why did Judge Garrow make
such request? His honesty was above
suspicion, his integrity was undoubted,
and his firmness could not be ques-
toned. Yet, after declaring 1t his pur-
pose to check the lawlessness then ex-
listing by the strong arm of the law,

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: "I had just and
sufficient reasons for acting as I did"
Time and time has this case and 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 reproach. r.
It is all clear now. Judge Garrow
has passed to stand himself before a
Judge whose justice, it 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 l give it here as the
sequel to what have already re-
corded:

shall desire to look into my life his
tory they will find nothing that pos
terity shall be ashamed to read upon

action Of my career as criminal judge
which demands of me an explanation.
In truth, I should have been ready to
meet that demand before I passed
away, but I was so placed that my
lips were sealed. The wrong (if wrong
l did was in allowing myself to be
hampered, but justice to an innocent
man weighed in the balance against
unjust suspicion toward myself.

war, with a squad Of marauding
soldiers, he entered the home OF man
who was bearing arms in defense OF

lessly invaded and desecrated, Mother
and children had to fee in the night,
and she, the mother, met her death
from the exposure and fright. This
man Blvins was the only one recog-
nized, as he had sold goods about the
community from peddler's pack. The

head may not have intended to strike
life away, but reason lost Its sway, and
there was naught to stay the avengers

ted blood I reviewed his history, his
conduct Of the case, how he had ex-
pended money and devoted his time
with no hope of any remuneration; l
looked into his face, and I knew he
had spoken the truth.
IT believe if it had not been for what
he considered the justice Of his cause
and his little children, he would have
surrendered at the first. 1t was un-
doubtedly his intention to have saved
his client even If the last resource
should have been to take the prisoners
place upon the gallows.
There was nothing left for me to do
but to urge the pardon of Hastings, and
that i did. ]. G. GARR0W,

Great Meeting.
AN ADDRESS TO sALvATIoNlsTs
Details of the New Organization Not
Worked Out But it Will Follow
the Lines of the Pre-
cent Army

New York, March darlington
Booth. ex-Commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States, gave out
the following statement last night:
Being continually pressed upon all
sides to state definitely the action we
shall take in the future, we now desire
to make known our present position.
First. We did not wish it said we
had taken the Salvation Army; that we
had through ambition swept the organ
ization in this country out of the GEN
erals hands, or that we had taken
property which we had acquired while
owing allegiance to him. Further
more, we did not want to influence
those under his authority, through
their loyalty and steadfastness to us
nor have it said that we had proved
faithless to a trust reposed in us so far
as administration was concerned. We
had no alternative but to accept our
dismissal, which closed our allegiance
ship and negotiations with London.
Second We cannot, however, close
our eyes to the fact that we have an
other allegiance; we are not our own
and cannot dispose of our lives and in
huences to please ourselves. God has
called us to work for Him. We dare
not. therefore, remain idle. We have
also at heart the interests of our coun-
try, which so loudly call to us to con-
