The Man Who Poisoned Fred Keel Will
Not Hang.

Ben Fields. who was convicted OF
murder in the first degree, at the No
vember term, 1897. Of the Criminal court
of Edgecombe county, and sentenced to
be hanged last Tuesday, Jan. 49,, has
escaped the gallows and will spend the
balance of his life in the penitentiary.
1t was not until the morning of the
day of the execution that the Governor
telegraphed Fields Communication and he
yesterday gave the following reasons for
so doing:
"This Communication is granted at tht
request of Judge Sutton, who tried the
case and of Solicitor Daniel who prose
cuted, and upon the petition Of the clerk
of court, the sheriff, treasurer and other
officers of Edgecombe county, of Mr..
Leigh, county commissioner, and Of Mr..
Williams. ex-chairman of the board of
commissioners. of Drs. Baker, Bass,
Norheet, Whitehead. Wynn and Julian
Baker. OF most of the bank officials OF
the town of Tarboro of the foreman Of
the grand jury. of the chief of police OF
Tarboro: of Gen. John w. Gotten, of
Mr.. Calling, chairman of the present
hoard of county commissioners; of Mr..
John L. Brdgers, Judge Howard, Judge
Phillips and the other lawyers of the
Tarboro bar. and of several hundred
other good citizens of Edgecombe
county.
ct appears by the certificate of the
solicitor that the prisoner is very ig-
norant. stolid and stupid, that he was
completely under the sinister influence
of his co-defendant Afford who was un-
Justly acquitted: that he was the tool
in the hands of Afford, and that he car
red out the design that was conceived
by Afford 1t was also contended by
counsel for the prisoner that in giving
the capsule to Keel, the prisoner did so
without a guilty knowledge of its con-
tents; and there appears considerable
doubt on this point. The judge who
tried the case takes this view and rec
ommends a pardon. The solicitor recon-
mends a Communication to a term Of five
years. In view of the doubts surround
ing the case l have decided to commute
the prisoners sentence to imprisonment

RALEIGH H0NoRED.

Mrs. D. II. Hill to Reside Herr Cen.
Stonewall Jackson's Nephew.
Mr.. Thomas Jackson Arnold has arr
rived in the city from his West Virginia
home Although he calls himself a Cali
fornian, his interests are largely in the
east, and may compel him to return to
this country. He is the guest of Mrs.
Gen. D. H. Hill, whom his family are
also visiting. His likeness to his uncle
is so great that one who knew the
former, would think that the veritable
old Stonewall was ON earth again. We
hope our city will give these near rela-
tives of our great old warrior warm
welcome.
We are glad to learn that Mrs. D. H.
Hill has decided to make Raleigh her
permanent home. She has built nice
residence in our city and we hope she
may like it as well as her old home in
Charlotte. She is the widow Of one OF
the greatest men the South has produced.
Raleigh is honored in having Mrs. Hill,
charming and accomplished lady, Sc
lect the capital as her place Of perma-
nent residence.

THE CAPITOL SQUARE FENCE.
1t Was Moulded Here Half a Century
Ago and Cost $1,000.

The iron fence around the Capitol
Square, which is now being taken down
and will be put around the old city
cemetery, was erected in 1852. 1t cost
to make and put it around the square
about S11,0O
1t was cast here in Raleigh by a man
named iSilas Burns, who had a foundry
where the shops Of Allen and Cram now
stand. It took a long while to make
it, but it was a very fine piece Of work
when completed and to-day, with the ex-
ception of one or two broken places, is
about as good as when put up nearly
Fifty years ago.
The work of tearing down the fence
is being superintendent by Mr.. John w.
Whitelaw, an experienced stone cutter.
II will take week or more to take down
the fence; then it will be at once put up
at the cemetery.
The removal of the fence ws1l neces-
state the removal also Of the old
arsenal building on the southwest corner
of the square. But this viii have to be
done by the next Legislature.
As soon as the fence is taken away a
force of hands will grade and terrace
the edges of the square and properly
curb the sidewalks. All this work will
be done with a great deal of care by
the city. The city authorities got a
splendid bargain in the fence, and, on
account of the generosity of the State,
as we'll as for other reasons, they should
see to it that this work be done at once
and done properly in every particular.
