1t Is said furthermore that the reduc-
tion in the number of the departments.
in addition to making the military forces

LONGER LEASE Of
LIFE FOR VAUGHAN
Winton Murderer Will Not
Hang Tomorrow.
REPRiEVE FOR 80 DAYS
Attorney George Cowpsr Induces the
Governor to Consider Case.
REP0iEVE FOR 80 DAYS
ALL JURORS PETITION FOR COMPUTATION
Prisoners Attorney Says the Evidence is Al
Circumstantiai. Convicted of Killing
John Barton Of Murffeesboro.
Made Threats.

| Drew Vaughan colored, who was to
have paidthe death penalty tomorrow at
Winston, was given lease on life last
night for thirty days by Governor Ay-
| cock
| The thirty days reprieve in behalf of
the condemned man was secured by Mr..
| George Cowper, who arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon from Hertford
| count yand presented the case for COM
mutation to The Governor.
| Mr. CoWper, who is attorney for
| Vaughan, came armed with numerous
| petitions asking for Communication. One
of shese was signed by the twelve MEM
bers Of the jury who returned the YER
dict of guilty. The jurors say in their
petition TO the Governor:
We, the undersigned members of the
jury that rendered a verdict of guilty
respectfully ask Your Excellency to
commute the punishment to imprison-
ment in the State prison for life at hard
labor. We believe that under all the
/ circumstances surrounding the case that
Communication oft ne death sentence now
resting upon the defendant Drew
Vaughan will serve a beneficial end as
hiss execution, and granting this petition
will relieve the minds of all persons
from apprehension or suspicion, that the
said Vaughan has possibly suffered a
wrong that his execution would prevent
being remeded.
Mr.. Cowper SAYS tha the majority of
the influential citizens and county Off
GERS at Winston asked for Communication.
The evidence, he declares was entirely
circums. .antial.
Vaughan was convicted of the murder
of John Boston, also colored. The crime
was committed on steamboat at the
wharf in Murfreesboro. There were no
witnesses The deceased was struck
with an unknown instrument back of the
head The crime was tracked to
Vaughan. At least the proof was strong
that the tracks were those of the con-
demned man. 1t was shown that he en-
tertained i'll will for the deceased and
had possibly made threats against him.
