FELIX HALL WILL
 BE HANGED TODAY Protests His Innocence, But
 Says He is Ready CLAIMS HE IS NOT HALL The Negro Was Convicted of Murder of Norwood Clarke at Ensley.
 Will Miller Arrested Yes
 terday in Atlanta.
CLAIMS HE IS NOT HALL

Felix Hall, alias Henry Jackson, will be hanged in the county jail yard this morn- ing at Il 80 o'clock.
 This was decided upon at the sheriff's the recommendation made to the Cover nor by Judge Dan A. Greene of the crim- inal Court to Governor Jelks last Satur- day Friday. October 2S. which is tomor- row, was the date named for Halls exc cution.
 When Hall was reprieved the last time, however, 1t was expressly stated in the governors document granting the re- prieve that the reprieve should extend only until today and that the execution shold take place on Thursday. october 22. This, of course. supercedes the recom- mendation of Judge Greene and the ne- gro will be hanged this morning accord ingly.
 Hall Informed.
 Attorney Charles Denegre who has been handling Halls case, had conference with the negro yesterday afternoon and told him that he was to die the following day. Hall stoutly maintained that they had the wrong man, that he was inno- cent and that his name was Henry Jack son.
 When seen late in the evening the ne- gro said he was ready to die but that he would die an innocent man. He said that he knew he would be punished in the hereafter if he said that he was innocent when he was not, and that knowing this he still maintained his innocence.
 Governor Jelks was not at the capital yesterday. so 1t is more than likely that there will be no interference with carry ing out the sentence.
 Halls Crime.
 Hall is the negro who was convicted of the murder of Norwood Clarke, young white man at Ensley He main talned so strenuously that his name was Henry Jackson and that he could prove an alibi that he was given respite by the governor after the date of his execu- tion had been fixed. Numerous witnesses were brought In to identify the negro and Judge Greene says that he is now satis- fled that he is Hall.
 Will Miller, the negro who was jointly indicted with Hall for the killing and for whom a reward was jointly offered with Hall, was captured in Atlanta yesterday. Judge Greene received a long distance telephone message from Atlanta yesterday saying that the negro had been arrested and would be sent on to Birmingham
 Miller was arrested once before and was in the county jail from August 1s 1901, until January l, 1902 He was released, however, as case could not be made out against him at that time.

 Under these circumstances they felt that the sheriff was their only source of relief The sheriff had the law investigated on the subject and now says that it will be rigidly enforced.
