A year ago Judge Montgomery, Of
West Virginia, sentenced Lud Madison,
colored, to be hanged January IA in the
State penitentiary at Moundsville for
the murder of mother negro. Two
days before the date of the execution
Governor Atkinson Issued a respite for
nine days. The judge who sentenced
him died before the reprieve expired.
Two weeks ago Madisons case was
forced on the authorities by a report of
it to Governor Atkinson. The governor
decided that, the judge being dead and
the time for resentence having passed,
no one can now resentence Madison.
The date of legal death having passed,
Madison cannot be hanged on the origi-
nal sentence. AS he was never SEN
fenced to Imprisonment, he cannot be
kept in the penitentiary. so Madison
will probably be released in few days.

cohol: PERSONALLY, I am inclined to
believe that alcoholic beverages, even in
moderate quantities, are for most peo-
