companied by Mr.. j. o. Carr, of VII
mingron, left today for Raleigh I go
before the governor and present a
petition for the Communication OF The
death sentence which has been passed
upon Dan Teachey, who is now in Jail
in this city and who is accused Of the
murder of Bob Rivenbark in Dupiin
county about two years ago. The case
has attracted a deal of attention in
Duplin county and the accused has had
two trials. He has been convicted
both times and sentence passed upon
him. 1t is possibly due to his con
science and his honesty that he is IA
carcerated in Jail today. A short
while after he was arrested and placed
n Jail in Kenansville he managed to
break Jail one night and succeeded in
making his escape. After eluding thu.
vigilance of the officers for several
days he walked in and gave himself
up to the sheriff. He could have made

free man without the terrible execu-
ton to which he has been sentenced.
