In An Unenviable Position.

Only one white woman, it is
said, has ever been executed in
Georgia, but fthe sentence of
the highest court of that State,
which has been sustained by
the United States Supreme
Court, is carried out, Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Mobiles, sixty years old,
will perish Oil the gallows.
There is an overwhelnin e
sentiment in Georgia against
the hanging of a white woman,
but there are certain circum
stances connected with the case
of Mrs. Mobiles which make it
almost impossible for Governor
Atkinson to commute her sent
ence to life imprisonment Mrs.
Mobiles paid her colored man
servant $40 to kill her husband.
The servant was a poor hand at
murder and had to invoid the
aid of his employer to furnish
the work. Bo.h were convicted
and sentenced to death, but the
white women of Georgia pro-
tested against the execution OF
Mrs. Mobiles, and Governor
Atkinson finds himself i'll a
disagreeable predicament. If he
commutes the sentence of the
woman and allows the colored
man to be hanged, he will be
charged with unjust discrimina
ton, however good his motive
may be. On the other hand, if
he does rot interfere to save
Mrs. Mobiles from the gallows,
he will incur the enmity Of the
thousands of women who have
protested against her death on
the gallows. The governor is an
ambitious man, with the pros
pect of a political future that
looks beyond the State House.
Of course, political considera>
tons would not influences his
action, but from any point of
view his position is not to be
envied.
