Present indications seem to point
strongly to the hanging Of Doc Bacon,
the Mecklenburg negro recently respted
by Governor Montague, on Saturday
next, the day on which the second respite
expires.
Mr.. J. T. Rahily. of Petersburg, counsel
for the negro, saw the Governor yester-
day, and held a long conference with His
Excelency at the Executive office. at
which time the case was gone over With
great care The Governor said last night
that he was giving the matter his best
consideration. though. of course he did
not care now to say what disposition
would be made of it finally,
1t may be stated, however, that unless
some new evidence favorable to the prls-
oner is adduced, or a request for further
respite shall come from the Judge and
commemorative Attorney of Mecklen-
burg, the Governor will take no other
action in the case, but Will allow the law
to take Its course on Saturday,
So far, 1t is not thought the Cover
