Gov. LonginO has decided to
make a field hand out Of Shack
Trim. the negro who was recently
convicted of murder and sentenced
70 hang in Quitman county. There
was an element of doubt in Trims
case. which in a large measure is
responsible for the eommutation,
and prior to the murder he had al
vars borne a good reputation. This,
eoupled with the fact that a negro
of iusty strength is worth more to
the State alive than dead, especially
during the farming season of the
wear, is the factor that saved Trims
neck from the hangman's moose.
