CHANNELS LIFE is SAVED.
GOVERNOR COMMITTED SENTENCE
TO LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

Fear That the Prisoner Might BE
LynchcdLed the Governor to order
Him Direct to the Penitentiary
From Savnnnah-Guard Will Come
This Morning to Take Him to Far
go in south GeOrgia-EhOrts Made
in ChanneII's Behalf.
ATLANTA, Jan. S.-W. T. Channel will not
hang on next Friday. The Governor this
afternoon commuted his sentence to life
imprisonment, as recommended by the
Prison Commission.
The prisoner viii not be taken back to
Montgomery county. as the Governor fears
that an attempt TO lynch him would be
made. Threats of such an attempt have
reached him, and as a matter Of precau-
ton he wired the sheriff of Chatham
county this afternoon to turn CHANNEL
over to guard from the penitentiary. to
take him TO the camp at Fargo in South
Georgia, near the Florida line. This guard
will reach Savannah in the morning, and
will at once secure the prisoner and start
for Fargo on the first train.
In the meantime the Montgomery county
authorities are kept in the dark. A tele-
gram was sent the sheriff of that county
last night by the Governor not to go for
Channel tin Thursday. Nothing was
contained in the message, it is said. as
TO the Governors action. but the bare in
junction that he should not go for his
prisoner tin the day before the date of the
execution is enough TO impress the Mont
gomery county officers with the belief that
he would be hanged.
What the Governor Feared.
There have been threats the Governor
says, to take Channel from the train by
his friends in case he should be taken 70
Mt Vernon to be hanged, but it is Gear
that the Governor fears more the sent
ment against the prisoner than for him.
hence the great secrecy maintained in tie
effort to get him in the hands of the state
guard before the sheriff of Montgomery
county reaches Savannah, and yet this
appears somewhat ambiguous for the
prisoner would not be within a hund ell
miles of Montgomery county in gong
from Savannah to Fargo.
The feature of the strenuous appeals
for executive clemency in this case was
the personal attempts of the wives of the
prisoner and his victim to influence the ac-
tion of the Governor. The wife of Chan
nell. with her children, visited the Governor
in his office and begged HIM on her knees
between hysterical sobs to save her hus-
band from the gallows.
When Mrs. Thompson, the wife of the
murdered man, heard of this, she came to
Atlanta with her two children aud her
lawyers, waited till the Governor return
ed from Athens. met him a the train and
renewed her urgent entreaty later on at
the mansion, for the Governor to let the
murder of her husband be avenged on the
scaffold.
The petitions to the Governor have not
been confined to Georgia, several having
come from Alabama and Missi sip7i in
behalf of the prisoner. one very strong
appeal came from Channels former home
in the latter state.

down the coast to Gomez, to be held as
a hostage for all Cuban prisoners. This
would have been easy in the darkness
with a launch and a tug in the offing

however, to exclude the air in putting

placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop a hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night. The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat, and at the slightest irri
tation or soreness Of the throat n gar

found efficient.
