ASKING PAROONS
Nearly Every Mail Brings
New Requests to Gov
ernor's Desk.

Nearly every mail that carries let
ters to the Governor contains one or
more requests for pardons of men
either in the penitentiary or under
death sentence. 1t appears that near
ly every petition bears the stamp of
the fact that there was no premedi-
tation in the commission of the crime"
Some of these petitions are not ac-
companied by the recommendation OF
either trial judge or solicitor, and
most of them bear the signatures of
persons who are not fully acquainted
with the character and circumstances
of the crime committed for which par
don is asked.
The Governor yesterday received a
plea for a respite, which was sent
to him by Messrs. Fowler & Graham,
attorneys in Clinton, Sampson county,
and they desire that the death SEN
tence of a negro be committed to life
imprisonment. The negro is Ashton
Moore alias Holmes, of that county,
and he was convicted of the rape of an
11-year-old negro girl in Clinton. He
has been respited once before, and as
the present sentence stands he is to De
hanged September End.

indications That Change
Will be Made.
PLAN LONG MOOTED
Mr.. r. H. Busbee, Chairman OF Special
Committee of Trustees, Has Called
Meeting, and Intimates Favor
able Report. Advantages of
RALEIGH for Law School.

There now seems a very bright
prospect that the University Law
School, of which ex-Judge James C.
MacRae is dean, and which is attend
ed yearly by more than a hundred of
the best and most intelligent young
men of the State, will be moved to
Raleigh, certainly by the beginning of
its fall term next September.
1t will be recalled that at the meet
ing OF the Board of Trustees of the
University held in Raleigh last Feb
ruary, the question of moving the law
school to Raleigh was discussed at
some length and it was then published
that a special committee had been APP
pointed to give the matter careful con-
sideratiOn and report to the first meet
ing of the board in 1906.
AS the question was an important
one. it was deemed wise that the COM
mittee should not report for a year,
letting their decision be made known
to the regular business meeting of the
trustees, which is held about the first
of every year
AS there was a renewal of discussion
of the law school at Raleigh yester-
day, Mr.. F. H. Busbee. who is chair
man of the special committee APP
or not any step had been taken or de-
cisiOn arrived at by the committee.
Mr. Busbee stated that nothing had
definitely been decided as yet, but
upon being questioned further made
the significant statement that he
would call a meeting of the commit
tee at a very early date. He also, IN
further conversation, permitted the in
ference to be drawn that he would
and that he believed the committee
would so recommend. While not in
any sense committing either himself or
the committee, it was plainly gathered
from what Mr.. Busbee said that the
proposition would receive favorable
action at his and the committees
hands. Certainly the additional fact
that the committee is to meet within
a few days. would seem to give the in
ference added force.
The above win be pleasant news TO
Raleigh and to the people of the State
generally who know the needs of a
modern law school Situated at the
State capital where the students would
have opportunity to attend the Sittings
of the Supreme Court and numerous
terms of the Superior Courts with the
Supreme Court and State Libraries at
their disposal the advantages for study
and pfaotlcal knowledge. would De
such as could not be obtained else
where in the State. In addition. the
presence in Raleigh of d number Of
distinguished lawyers who could be
easily procured to give special series
of lectures would add to the course of
instruction feature Of inestimable
value.
Located at Raleigh. the law school
would greatly increase in power, and
usefulness. In this day, with it's COM
plexity of legal requirement and the
demands of varied research in the
study of the law, Raleigh would APP
pear In fact to be the logical place for
the States law school.

Interesting Case to be
Tried by Supreme
Court.

A peculiar case that will soon be
heard by the Supreme court-probably
today-is that of State VS.. Archbell
from Beaufort county. The defend
ant is w. j. ArchbeI, and he is
charged with beating his wife with a
buggy trace, which was held by the
court to be a deadly weapon, and
Archbell was convicted of an assault
on his wife with deadly weapon.
The present Mrs. Archbell' is the
fifth wife of the defendant. The first
three died, and the fourth secured a
divorce. He was married to the fifth
two weeks after he had secured a di-
vorce from his fourth wife. The pres
ent Mrs. Archbell is only nineteen
years old, and it is said that she told
several persons that her husband had
whipped her. During the trial she de-
MED that he had been violent towards
her, and declared that he was always
very kind to her. Several eye-WitnesseS
testified to the actual occurrence of
the beating.
The def ldant appealed on eight
exceptions, ne of which was that the
strap, or buggy trace, which Arch
bell is said to have "~nd i'm thraShing
Mrs. Archbell was not a deadly Weap-
on. Another objection was what the
solicitor, IN addressing the jury stated.
Il had rather be either of the wives
of w. j. Archbell over whom the cof-
fin lid has closed than to be the living
skeleton of a wife, coerced and forced
to come into the court house and teS-
tify in his behanf. The questions asked
by Mr.. Simmons in his cross eXamlna-
ton of Ida Keech We're prompted by
the diabolical heart of the defendant,
w. j. Archbell."
Pending the appeal, Archbell was
released on a $35 bond. He had been
sentenced to six months on the public
roads
