SPARKS AFTER coMMuTATroN.
Twice Convicted NEurderer's Battle .. For Life. cs

Phenix City, Feb. 11.-(Special. )-It has developed that the negro Charlie Sparks, who was recently granted a respite of one month by Governor Jeiks. on the grounds that new evidence had been found that should save him from the gallows, will ask for a communication.
 Deputy Sheriff John Moon, of Opelika, who is in the city today says formal notice that an application would be made for a communication for Sparks will be published in The Opelika News this week.
 Public sentiment in Phenix City runs high against Sparks and numerously sign ed petitions are. being circulated asking the Governor to allow the death sentence to be carried out upon the expiration of the present respite. brother of Jack son Ingersoll. the murdered man, is at the head of the movement, but the negroes generally are taking an active part and the white citizens of Phenix City are signing the petition almost to a man. The general belief in PheniX City seems to be that Sparks should be hanged | and the petitions to be sent the Governor touching this subject will be very strong, When the respite was granted, 1t was contended that newly discovered evidence from Chicago, and Cincinnati would be produced, but the people of Phenix City | are at loss to know upon what grounds an application for clemency for Sparks can be based. He has been twice con victed and so far as 1t knows, not a single | extenuating circumstance in favor of Sparks has developed. It is generally | agreed that his lawyers will have to pull a pretty strong card from their sleeve if
 they succeed in securing a pardon for | Sparks. t..
 Many have wondered where the money
 comes from to push the Sparks case.
 reporter was informed today that most
 of the money came from Columbus, and
 was furnished by Rev. P s. L.. Hutchins
 a colored preacher of this city, who l: 1 said to raise 1t by collections from hi; | congregation for the purpose. It Is alst
 stated that some money Is raised in Mont gomery for Sparks, in the same way.
