Governor Glenn has taken final action.
In two capital cases, declining to COM
mute death sentences. In one case the
defendant Is Peter Smith, a white man.,
sixty years OF age, who will accordingly
be hanged at Marshall, Madison county,
September 18th. Though more than one
hundred murders and q few other cap-9
tal crimes have been committed in that
county since the Civil War, there has not
been a public execution. The crime Of
Smith Is one OF, the worst which ever
occurred In North Carolina. e
The evidence laid before the Governor
shows clearly that a young woman, who
had a sweetheart with whom she was
deeply infatuated. but who was not liked
by her family, was betrayed by Smith,
WHO went to her home one night last
winter and delivered to her a bogus mes-
sage, purportlng to be from her lover,
saying that no was ready to marry her
and that Smith would take her to- him. Y
1t was ntwild night. and the place Is in 4
the muntnins, the loneliest imaginable.
Tho girl at once consented to co. ana
taking q few OF her effects, slipped out
Of the house and Joined Smith. who. with
a DEVILS cunning carried her away and
pcrpetrated assaults which, upon her
story, were shoWnto be of unimaEi nable
brutality and horror. The woman. who Is \
really but q girl, Is q wreck for life.
Smith fled the next day and went into \
Tennessee, but was located and brought
back to this State. 4;
