Harrison was to try and get the
reward Of $500, which had been
offered by the governor for proof
to convict.
Mr. Wolfe, of kingstree, writes
to Governor Hayward that he
was ON the jury of inquest and
that no arrest was made until af-
ter the reward Of $500 was offer
ed.
Governor Hayward has express
ed his view of the ease in the fol-
lowing tier, which he has written
to Solicitor Wilson asking for his
view Of the case.
The Hon John Wilson, Solc-
itor, Manning, S. C.-Dear Sir:
have before me a petition ask
ing for the pardon Of John Harri-
son, who was convicted in the
Court OF General Sessions Of Will
liamsburg county in 1906 Of MUIR
der, with recommendation to
mercy.
In the record you will note that
there is an affidavit Of George w.
Arms, wherein he states that the
said John Harrison was convicted
upon a confession obtained from
him, while working in the Jail, by
means that scared the defendant
into confession. assigning the
reason that deponent tried to get
the evidence in order to secure the
reward of $500 offered by the
governor for proof to convict.
And the deponent further alleging
that he honestly believes that the
said Harrison being an ignorant
negro, and being scared made
this confession through fear and
under duress, being worked upon
by the various methods set forth
in this petition.
If the effect Of the guilty con-
fession were obtained in such a
manner and by such means as are
alleged by deponent, it is mani
fest that such is not conducive to
justice And while l appreciate
the fact that you were not the
prosecuting attorney in this case
being i'll at the time, as solicitor
Of that circuit respectfully re-
quest that you investigate the facts
set forth in the petition, and the
affidavit which l herewith return
to you.
enclose complete record in
order that you may note that an
alibi is urged as reason for the
pardon.

1.-THE Legend of the Sucks. +"

An ancient legend Describes IN
old man travelling from place TO
place with sack hanginy behind
his back and another in front of
him. In tho one hehind him he
tossed nil the kind deeds of his
friends, which were soon quite
hidden from view AMI forgotten
ln the one hanging around his
neck, under his chin, he threw
all the sins which his ncqunintances
committed; and The SO he was in
the habit of turning over and
looking at rs be walked along day
by day, which necessarily hlnder-
ed his ,urse.
One day, to his surprise, he
met man also wearing two sacks.
"What have You here?" He
asked.
"Why, my good deeds" re-
piled number two. "I keep
them oil before me, and take
them out and air them often I"
"What is in the other big
sack9 It seems weighty."
"Merely my little mistakes.
l always keep them in the sack
hanging over my buck.'
Presently the two travellers
were joined by u third, who,
strange to say, also carried two
sacks one under his chin and one
on his back.
"Let us see the contents of
your sacks" said the first two
travellers.
"With all my heart" qnoth
the stranger, "for l have n good
ly assortment. and | like to show
them. This SACK" said he,
pointing to the one hanging in
front of him, sis full of the good
deeds of others.
"Your sack looks heavy; it
must be very full,' observed the
old man.
"rhere you are Mistaken re-,
piled the stranger; "they are
big but not heavy. The weight
is only such as sails are to ship.
Far from being II burden, it helps
me onward"
"WelI, your sack behind can
be of little use to you," said mum
Der two, "for it appears to he
empty. And see 1t has n great
hole IN the bottom of it I"
81 did that on purpose, said
the stranger, "for all the evil
hear of people | put in there, and
1t falls through and Is lost.a So,
| you see, have no weight to drug
me backward.

a Remarkable Application for
Pardon for Negro.
Special to News and Courier.

lleyward is having a most inter
csting time with petition for a
pardon from Williamsburg county.
1t is one Of those peculiar cases in
which he is anxious to take the
right step and do full justice to all
concerned.
Nine years ago John Harrison
was convicted OF the murder of
Afford Singletary and sentenced
to life imprisonment. Harrison
has served his sentence SO far in
sisting that he was innocent, but
nothing was done for him. Now
strong petitions have been pre-
sentcd to Governor Hayward by
lilrSch & llirsch, Of kingstrcc,
asking for the pardon of Harri-
son.
Quite Il number Of anidavits are
presented from men of apparent
standing that Harrison was II
miles from the scene OF the mur-
der at the hour it is said to have
be cn committee None Of these
witnesses appeared at the trial
OF the case. 1t does not appear
why \ w Brown and others did
not testify at the first trial except
that they did not worry about the
case.
Harrison is now able to make
out very good case and make
very good showing Of an alibi
The curious part Of the case,
however, is the affidavit Of George
w Arms, who tells how he fright
encd Harrison into making a con-
tesSlon, His affidavit is remark
able and reads as follows:
George w Arms, being dulv
sworn, says that he remembers
the rial and conviction Of John
Harrison for murder, with rec
ommcndation for mercy at the
court OF general sessions for said
county and State. and that he is
now aware Of the fact that the
SAID Harrison is confined in the
State prison for the remainder Of
his natural life.
That at the time of the trial of
the said Harrison this deponent
worked at the Jail, and it was to
him that the said Harrison made
his confession acknowledging the
murder OF Singietary, this depon-
ent desires to state how this con-
1esslon war obtained in order that
justice may be done. Prior to
Tic trial Of Harrison he was in
carceratcd in the Jail at KINGS
tree. ms dcponent,in order to get
evidence on which to convict Harri
son, appeared at night at the cell
door Of the said Harrison and then
and there with the use Of a chain
tired to scare the said Harrison
into confession. After WORKING
shls scheme for several nights, the
said Harrison complained to this
dcponent Of the occurrence, and
this deponent told the said Har-
rlson that he had best confess. as
the sounds he heard was the ghost
of Singletary, Even with this
pressure being brought to bear up
on the feelings Of the said Harri-
son, he still maintained his inno-
cencc. Finding that this pro-
ccdure would not work the results
wished. this deponent then ap-
peared at the cell door Of Harri-
son covered with white sheet
and demanded then and there
that he make his confession, and
1T was upon this action the said
confession was made. This de-
ponent was witness in the said

An Invitation Declined.

A keeper was in the hyenas' cage
at Hall by the Sea, England. One
of the animals improved the oppor-
tunity to turn upon the man in an
ugly mood. The keeper promptly
defended himself and, to teach the
animal manners, gave it a drubbing
until it skunk into a corner. One Of
the spectators, dear old lady, then
demonstrated with the keeper and
thought he had acted cruelty. The
man stepped out of the cage and, ad-
vancing to the lady, said, "P'raps,
mum, you'd like to come inside and
manage himp The invitation was
not accepted.
