straits for the bare necessities Of life, az
well as without shelter but they are
standing firmly together They say their

Peculiar Status OfNegro Reprieved in West
Virginia Last January,

Special 70 The Washington Post.
Wheeling, w. Va, Oct 22.-Lud Madi-
son, who was sentenced to be hanged at
Moundsyille last January, seems TO be
about to escape punishment for the muir
der of a negro in Fayette, for which he
was sentenced. Two days before execu-
ton day Gov. Atkinson granted ninety
days reprieye. The case seems to have
since escaped the minds of those in au-
thoFity and Madison is still in the peni-
Tertiary.
The judge who sentenced him is dead,
and Gov Atkinson holds that the day OF
execution having passed he cannot be re-
sentenced. As he was never sentenced to
Imprisonment, he cannot be held in the
penitentiary and he cannot be tried again
Ior his offense. He will probably be set
free within a few DAYS.
